Please make sure you read this link. This is a real scam, they called me too! This is not a real IRS agent. Be careful.

it is supposedly the illinois department of revenue like if you owe money from your income taxes..... they just keep calling and playing a recording for you to call another number  which is 217-785-2698. That number is for the illinois department of revenue I guess.... but they are closed on saturday so you have to call back. Why would they annoyingly call on saturday when you cannot talk to them at that time.

Numbers (217) 557-6643 and 44 have called me twice thus far, starting@9:11am on a Saturday. The line is conituously busy in attempts to call back and when they called the second time, as soon as I answered, they hung up.

I ain't got s*** for them lol

Just got one from 217-557-6643, answered and it was a recorded message saying call Kevin Gannon at a local number (which I didn't get down in time) and then it hung up.  The called ID said "IL ST OF" - so I'm not sure whether it is legit or not.  I do think I've always gotten things from IRS in the mail, so that seemed odd.

Same thing reported by others. They called early Saturday morning (9am) .  They left vm saying there was an urgent matter regarding my recent tax filings and I needed to call back as soon as possible.

They have called now 4 times and nothing on my voice mail!!! Twice from the same number and then two other times from same number but last two number were 217-557-6643 and 217-557-6644 and 217-557-6638

Said they were the irs

said they were the IRS and called on a saturday morning

Appears as a missed call on my phone at work.
