These people aren't just after your money- in some cases, they are terrorists. People have called back to harass them or tell the scammers they know they're a fraud or are "on to them"; the scammers then call local law enforcement and tell them a violent crime is happening at their intended victim's address and tactical (SWAT) teams have been sent to their homes, putting the residents' and officers' lives at risk and costing taxpayers.

If you get a pre-recorded message supposedly from the IRS, hang up, do NOT call back, and block the number, especially if the call was made to a mobile device. The IRS does not contact you by phone unless it's a last resort, or you ask them to. Once the number has been blocked, it's unlikely you'll hear from them again.
