These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US 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.

Its a scam.  Report it to the FTC via their website.  These people are impersonating the IRS but are not in fact the IRS.

This is a TOTAL scam. Absolute pieces of S*it! Do not continue your call with them. I got an incredibly reputable Tax Attorney on the phone (on speaker) while this man was threatening us. Once he heard what was being said, he hung up. Please report any calls from that # (201 942 4386) to www.tigta.gov

Scammer left phone message, directed to call back (201)942-4396, "agent Kevin Jones" with a heavy Indian/Pakistani accent, after a few questions from me he hung up.

Don't fall for it, but do have fun with them since every minute you take from them by keeping them talking keeps them away from scamming some Grandma out of her money. Ask for information, give none back.

Yes. It is a scam. Call or go to www.TIGTA.gov to report it.

What is the world coming to..  Scam, Scam, Scam..

Three calls in one afternoon from IRS. Left urgent messages on my answering machine. Call back as soon as you receive this message to avoid bank accounts being frozen and lien on house.

I called the number back a person with a heavy Language problem answered. He said he was from the IRS office. I could barley understand so I asked for him to repeat. He said it again and I told him I DO NOT understand his ENGLISH could he repeat and what office are your from AGAIN. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR ENGLISH.

He told me I should move to a country that understands my ENGLISH.. There ya go..
They even have the guts to talk back. These are awful people wanting to hurt innocent people.

Don't fall for it. IRS will contact you by mail.

Read Alfalfa's message. He's hit it right on the head.

They left a message. They're some anal openings calling from overseas, claiming to be from the IRS. It's a scam. Don't pick up any call that you don't recognize.

Called today looking for my daughter. Said he was with IRS then this heavily accented middle eastern idiot asked my name and I told him it was Heywood Jablowme. Started screaming demanding to talk to my daughter which I responded by hanging up on him mid sentence. Bottom line IRS does NOT contact anyone by phone unless you request it. Just a bunch of crooks fishing for your personal info and money

Claimed to be IRS. They had me going for a minute until they said I could avoid the cops coming to arrest me by pay my back amount  over the phone

They called I called back, they wanted to talked to Anthony? I said wrong number and the keep calling back with message they are IRS
