Oh, yeah! The IRS Scam Call Club!
Of course, the IRS isn’t going to call if you have problems. It’ll be mail or maybe through your tax advisor, if you use one. And then not using a toll-free number? That’s a big giveaway.
But I must say, there was a delightful retro quality to the call. It was neither live nor recorded, but a delightful computer-generated voice, artfully patched together to really pull you back thirty years when such technology was in its infancy. I’m not even sure, thinking about it, if it’s a scam or some compulsive performance art.
But there you go. It’s a PSA for you. If the IRS calls, it isn’t the IRS.
