No, the IRS will not call by phone and provide false badge numbers to then demand payment of past due amounts. Sure, the bogus callers will threaten and back themselves up by e-mail. Don't fall for it. Don't respond to messages of any variety. Instead, call your local DA's office, immediately…

BE AWARE.
