Another tax scam.
Message follows:

"“Please call her back at the same number displayed on your caller ID Please call Ames to notify you that your back tax debt has been classified as noncollectible so you won't need to pay it back This is an aspect of the new federal economic recovery program that's been in the news Therefore , before you file or make any arrangements to settle your tax debt , kindly call us back at the same number We appreciate your time and look forward to speaking soon. Goodbye.…”

A search of the phone number show it to be from outside of the USA. The city has been spoofed.

First; I have no back taxes, Second; I have filled and received my refund, Third; The IRS would never sell or give tax payers information out to a collection or any other company without a lengthy letter and legal processes.

So this is a scam to get your money to pay for a service that will only cause to to lose your money with nothing in return.

And if you do take the bait and you do owe the IRS money. In the end you will still have to pay the IRS because they will not pay the IRS anything.

There are plenty of volunteer groups that will provide free tax services to help with this kind of IRS issues.
