scam saying they were irs

Scammers claiming they were calling from IRS

Calling regarding irs

This is a scam...calling from Rutherford,NJ and  claiming they are from IRS.

Calling about IRS

callers saying there the irs

Yes this is absolutely a scam, I tried calling back and some Indian accent guy answered saying this is IRS, FYI before you could even get through an agent from a real IRS person you would go through a whole bunch of menu and press this and that, and if for anything IRS will always notify you via mail not by calling due to privacy.

Caller left a message that said that it was from the IRS and that our address was under state investigation. Also, they said that if we didn't called back quickly, they were going to get our property and bank account.
We looked in New Jersey IRS offices and none has this telephone number.

A person from this number called the number of our relative looking for my partner. When my partner called the number he got a person with a heavy accent who told him he has been cheating on his taxes for years and owes the government money, that bank accounts would be ceased, and the police would be coming to the house. We're not sure how he identified himself and he was very difficult to understand through the accent. We have no idea what this person it talking about - I think it's a scam!

Same person just called me saying im cheating and stolen from irs since 2008.  And the cops were going to come to my house to serve me and arrest me. I called a tax attorney and he said irs does not deal this way. they will send you letters uppon letters for months telling you to pay before they serve you with court papers!!!! He even had my name wrong totally a scam but still report it because obviously someone has your info!

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

Thanks, I just reported it through FTC

They are from IRS I own them $700.00 or they will seize my property  

Scam claiming to be IRS w/property under 'state investigation.'

Just got a call from this number. Heavily accented Indian telling me that I'd receive a lawsuit against me in the mail, said that I was under state investigation. Sounds like a scam.

I called back, a guy answered with a heavy accent. I asked why are you calling my number...... he paused and hung up..........scam

Called twice this morning, first time ID said "Rutherford NJ", second time "anonymous". Each time left same message stating property under state investigation and to call IRS as soon as possible. Definite scam. Receiving more and more of these calls.

Robo-dialing scammers claiming to be from the IRS saying I owed money and needed to call them back as my address was under investigation.

This is (one of many) criminal extortion scams that have exploded over the past decade correlating with advances in technology, which makes it easy for criminals to scare people into thinking something terrible will happen to them if they don't cave in to their demands. The IRS has been well aware of this scam for well over a year, but because the calls are originating in overseas boiler rooms with the criminals using computers to alter their identities and locations, they are next to impossible to trace. Making matters worse is the fact they are operating out of reach of US law enforcement and in apathetic and corrupt countries who could basically care less what these people do to us. The next time they call, let them know you are aware they are running an extortion scam, have no intention of paying them anything and have alerted law enforcement.

If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.
It's a phone scam.In fact, it tops the IRS "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams this year, and it's been surging in recent months, the agency said Thursday.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, has received reports of 290,000 scam calls since October 2013 and said nearly 3,000 victims have been swindled out of $14 million so far.

By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.

Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.

They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.

Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.

The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.

If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.
