Message left on answering machine was alarming that I call immediately an Officer Adam or legal action will be taken, if I did not call back.

A threatening call from 716-259-2908 officer Adam Scott asking me to call and threatening me with legal action on a time sensitive matter.

As reported by Judy Elle above, received a menacing nmessage from someone identifying himself as Officer Adam Scott, IRS Officer, warning us of grave consequences in an extremely time sensitive matter if we or our attorney did not return his call immediately.  Had gotten a call two three weeks back from the same number with the exact same message. Ca;;ed the numer ack and the supposed officer Adam hung up on me.

I just got this prank call - "... wanted me to call them back or  else suffer the consequences from IRS...."

just checked vm, and rec'd 2 messaged from officer adam asking to call back. thx you all for posting this.

Just received a menacing nmessage from someone identifying himself as Officer Adam Scott, IRS Officer, warning us of grave consequences in an extremely time sensitive matter if we or our attorney did not return his call immediately. When my husband called him, he was asked for his social security number by someone speaking broken English who eventually told him they must have the wrong name and they would take us off "the list."  To anyone who reads this, please know that this is not how the IRS operates and NEVER give your social security number out over the phone.

My wife received this call from an  IRS OFFICER in reference to a legal action against her name. He also ask her if she had a lawyer or wants to be represented by the IRS (???) She hung up and told me about this call that sound very funny. After checking the Internet we found that this number is one of hundred of 716 area code used to contact people with prank calls.
