202-241-8290

Middle Eastern accent or Asian have you or your attorney call, this msg is time sensitive and extremely urgent...called himself Officer John Parker the Hotline to my tuition is 202-241-8290 don't disregard this msg, if you or your attorney do not return the call I can only wish you a wave of luck as the legal situation will be badly enforced on you.

Same as above

This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.  
Read http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm

As general background information, here are a few things you can do:

1) Report it to TIGTA under http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml especially if you have become a victim (lost money, gave personal information etc.). You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint (include “IRS Telephone Scam" in your complaint). This way you can also help the government establish specific fraud patterns.

2) Help kill their phone lines but not by calling them back directly (the number may be spoofed and repeat calls by you may - under exceptional circumstances - amount to harassment). The scammers use Voice over IP lines (e.g. magicJack (Ymax corporation)) to make it seem as if they are calling from the US. This is always against these companys' terms of service and can lead to immediate termination of their contract and blocking of their IP addresses for future attempts to register. Do a reverse look up of their telephone number (e.g. www.whitepages.com) to identify the Voice over IP provider and report it to the company and/or law enforcement (local police and/or state attorney general)

3) If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction and provide US law enforcement agencies with the political backing and the resources they need to work in India and Pakistan together with local authorities (it can happen, read: http://m.ndtv.com/article/india/ex-call-centr ... mmission-320427). A US task force has already been set up in Jamaica to nab scammers there (see http://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/library/reports/cornerstone/cornerstone7-1.pdf). You can use the following template for your letter (more powerful!) or email:

Left a message yesterday in my voicemail.  The guy left his name as Officer John Binder of the IRS.  Very thick middle eastern accent.  Threatened intense legal action and wished me luck if we did not comply.  Two more calls this morning.  I answered the first one in which he asked for my husband, who I said was not available.  Nothing more followed so I hung up.  Second call I hung up on without interacting with the caller.  How do I make this stop?

Just had a call from this number today.  Said he was Officer Something or Other with the IRS.  That I or my attorney must return the call immediately.  Very heavy foreign accent.  I knew it was a scam but dialed the number anyway.  He answered with just a "Hello."  I explained that I was returning a call from a scam artist and was promptly hung up on.  I called back and went direct to voice mail.  His voicemail identified him as Officer Whomever with the IRS but alas, the mailbox was full.  I would have liked to have left him a message.

This guy said his name is officer James Smithers and he is with the IRS and threatened legal action with a foreign accent and said if we do not call back by ourselves or by our attorney for an urgent matter and would not tell what the matter is from an unknown line.

This is a scam from some Islamic terrorists. Just ignore.

Middle Eastern accent or Asian have you or your attorney call, this msg is time sensitive and extremely urgent...called himself Officer Mike Jones.

They can't be stopped.  They are hard core scammer/extortionists located in India.   You can protect yourself.  Invest in a call blocker and don't pick up on numbers you do not recognize.

I have been receiving call from this phone number, saying I have been audit by the IRS and I own them $3, 986.73. I panic and sent them $1,000.00 and they are still calling before realizing it might be a scam. I was told to let you know. I sure I've lost my money.

This is a total scam run out of India.  First off, the IRS does not file lawsuits.  If there is a need for court action, the IRS makes a request to the DOJ which makes the final decision whether or  not to go to court-- usually to enforce a collection action of some kind or another.    See:   http://www.irs.gov/irm/part5/irm_05-017-004.html

But this only happens   after a long period of administrative negotiations with the taxpayer.   Before any court case would happen, the taxpayer would be well aware of it.   IRS is never going to cold-call you and tell you that a case is being filed against you  out of the clear blue sky.  IRS always initiates contact by US mail.

IRS has absolutely no authority over local police. The IRS has no powers or arrest, it is a tax collection agency.   Local police and law enforcement are NEVER involved in tax disputes.     If law enforcement presence is needed,  US marshals are available.  

Secondly, over 90 percent of all tax disputes are settled administratively during an appeals process.  

This is just a scam where somebody cold-calls, pretends to be IRS and  tries to scare you into paying money to somebody by Green dot money pak which is untraceable.
Ignore the call and do not return it.  Block the number.

These calls are not random.  These scammer/extortionists are predators.   The person calling you has all your financial information and a lot of personal information. They pick on women, single mothers, the elderly and members of the immigrant community.  They are looking for vulnerable people.  Which is why you should never return these calls.  If they sense any vulnerability on your part, they may hammer you with even more calls.

Invest in a call blocker and do not pick up on calls you do not recognize.
