Description

An individual named Melody Harris left a phone message claiming to be from the Client Advocacy Division of the Agency for National Tax Consulting announced that during an audit my tax file was flagged for unresolved filings and mounting balances. She said to call (202)920-1528 so they could freeze my account to avoid mounting penalties, interest compounding w/o mercy and my liability spinning out of control. She advised me to act quickly to lock in my relief as their availability is limited and shrinking by the minute. I did not make contact with them. They began calling every business day.

BBB Note:  If there were an issue with your taxes, the IRS would contact you directly by mail to have you contact a particular client service representative to go over the matter and make arrangements to settle the matter.  They wouldn't call or notify a third party about any outstanding issues with your taxes.  If you are still unsure or would like some additional information or advice, please don't hesitate to contact the IRS directly via their website of www.IRS.gov for further contact details.
