Type of a scam Phishing

I was contacted by phone with a recording that stated "I have important information regarding the IRS and a 1099 form submission, you need to press 1 to be connected. I pressed one and some picked up on the first ring with a "Hello". I responded with "what is this call about" and I was told they were trying to reach my wife. They said to have her call 800-676-1257. I asked was this concerning her taxes. They said "no", which contradicts the original message. I asked for a contact name and I was told "Tim Wilson". I then asked for a company name and I was told ADR Group. I googled ADR Group and it looks like a company out of the United Kingdom. I then looked them up on the ScamPulse.com website and it said no record found. I am pretty sure this was a phishing attempt. Not sure if they were going to ask for money or PII. I did not let it get that far.

The ScamPulse.com suggests that you contact the Federal Trade Commission at  (877) 382-4357 or their website of https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov for information on the Fair Debt Collection Act and assistance with Debt Collection Companies.
