- Dido| 5 repliesA guy introduces himself as a IRS representative and asks me to return the call in an intimidating tone. Sounds like a black guy and sounds like a scam.

"Call back immediately or a warrant would be issued in your name for arrest".
No iD or contact info for when you call back. I can imagine the first question is "and to verify who you are, may I have your SS number and D.O.B . . ."
Yes, "aggressive"-sounding but an electronic voice or voice-concealing device is used.- Caller: Robo-voice claiming to be the IRS
