No, I never have. However, there are all kinds of scams out there, so before you do anything, make sure you are dealing with the IRS. If there's a telephone number to call, check the reverse directory first.
Funniest thing is that when I called the number, a man with the thickest Indian or Pakistani accent said his name was Jamie Hamilton. I said. . Jamie Hamilton..that's your name....Jamie. . Hamilton...you.. He said, yes sir. I was like. . .Ok. I asked to talk to his supervisor and I can swear it was the same guy. I said. . dude. . you're the same guy as before.. I strung him along for about three days. Then he told me to stop calling him.

I got an automated call about that last week. It warned me that the "cops" were coming for me. I feel bad for people who think it's legit and give them money.
Oh yes yes yes. They got my daughter with that One. He said that 30 minutes after he disconnected the call, the local police would be at her door! She was freaking out. Again it was just some guy from india named Arnold something. True, they do steal millions from trusting or scared or the elderly who know not any better.
As did I. I hae received several of these types of scams including the "Microsoft Represenative" calling me to inform me that they have detected a virus coming from my Computer. I have called the police on these hacks when they called in the past, but unless you have a legit return phone number within the US, you are S**t out of luck. That what the cops said. You'll never get that anyways because they are spoofed.
My fave thing is to lead them on and keep them on the phone as long as possible. It makes them crazy because it wastes their time.

I have a question...I noticed that that pesky music that was somehow embedded in my profile is gone (YAY!) Do you racall this discussion? It's gone now. Did y'all make updates oir changes recently?
Hmm... I have not had the dev on in ages. I remember what you're talking about though. That is curious. It was on his to-do list, but he stopped to-doing. I just don't remember when. Many months ago. But, maybe he did fix it.
Well I got contacted by scammers pretending to be the IRS and they said if I didn't contact them within 24 hours the police will issue a warrant for my arrest. I figured it was a scam but it worried me a little bit because I'm too pretty to go to prison. Cheers!
The second year of our marriage we were investigated by the IRS for tax fraud. Which cost us plenty in lawyer and accountant fees. We were finally absolved of any wrongdoing.
