Left several vm’s (I did not answer phone) but asks to have a return call to 888-919-4623 by Elena Lazaro. Verbal message begins but mid sentence the recorded message repeats itself for a total of 2 1/2 times before finally ending.

I have been called repeatedly for over a year from those claiming to be tax collectors. The main number to call back is 833-727-4144. It’s not always the same person. I get these calls nearly every other day and I ignore them. They also use different company names and phone numbers. Sample: This is Elena Lozano with the special resolution unit. I'm reaching out about a tax matter before your file moves into final collections. Please give me a quick call back when you can. My direct line is 888-919-4623. Or Good afternoon. This is Melissa with the National Tax Executive Office. My direct line is 833-727-4144. Hi there, this call is in reference about the new update on your tax file. Good afternoon. This is Melissa with the National Tax Executive Office. My direct line is 833-727-4144. Your tax file, it's still showing a possible balance or some unfiled returns. Based on the information we have on file under the new IRS Fresh Start program, your household may qualify for partial forgiveness. In some cases, that can significantly reduce or even eliminate what sued. It's important that we speak with you before this year tax. Deadline, whenever you get a chance to speak, please call us back so we can go over your options with you.
