IRS Phone Scam
Comments
A caller identifying himself as Michael Johnson of the IRS repeatedly called my land line this morning with "important matters related to a legal action." I told him that I knew he was a fraudster and told him to stop harassing me, but he called again.
The man had a noticeable Indian accent and there was background noise indicative of a call center.
This individual appears to be targeting people with more foreign sounding names. When asked repeatedly, he did give a call back number (703 xxx-xxxx) but when I called that number from a different line, the number he gave appeared to belong to a legitimate and unrelated business in Northern VA which this clown was probably trying to deflect complaints to.

This is a scammer who currently seems to be targeting people with "foreign" sounding names living in the USA. He calls regarding an "Urgent Tax Issue" and uses various aliases including Justin Johnson, Mark Brown, Michael Johnson, etc. Even when told that he's a scammer and he should stop calling, he calls persistently and then will stop for a day or two before calling again.
