Looks like you know all about back taxes since one of those outfits used this phone number to call you.  There certainly would not be any other reason for you to be here responding to a post that is over a year old.

Thanks because I just got the call ! Mind you she was eating chips or something . I was told by my tax accountant that the IRS will not call you .

I like how one of the companies listed has Con in the name. :-)  Yeah, THAT'S going to make me trust them.

The same person just called my phone saying the exact same thing. The thing is, when the IRS contacts you, they usually do it via mail so I hung up The phone on her.

Calls me everyday on my Cell and Work numbers.  I have an online account at IRS.gov and it does not show any money owed.  if this is an IRS collection service maybe they should be calling Donald J.

no it is not and you know it is not

Performant is one of the debt collection agencies being used by the IRS.  https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-business ... debt-collection

You are wrong i received a legal paper from the irs on the document they do list this collection agency

Actually they do use collection companies. Several of them in fact.

That subject has been covered in this thread numerous times since that person posted in 2018.  Why people insist on replying to posts that are months, years, or even decades old and then expecting those people to stop back to see the reply is beyond anyone's comprehension.

Says the person who can neither read nor spell correctly.  Post reported by the way.

the IRS will never call is correct.  However, they do use Performa Recovery as a collection agency.  If you owe the IRS money they will mail you a letter letting you know when they send the info to the collection agency.  It is not a scam.  You should have already received a letter both from the IRS and Performa once they call.

They actually do use a collection agency now.  This is straight from the IRS website   https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-business ... debt-collection

It is no longer legit when they are informed no one by that name at this number and stop calling. Now it is harassment and illegal.

So it’s not even the same phone number.... the link you posted gave the agencies and that agency listed does not have the same number listed that everyone is receiving calls from. I’ve gotten about 5 calls in a row from them. I don’t owe a debt to the IRS. And I never received paperwork. So I think it’s a scam by someone pretending to be them.

That’s not the same phone number.
