Julie Smith IRS Agent Scam!!!

They just called me too. I call back and they hang up. I called back again and it goes to voicemail.

Call and asked for $6000 that i owned haha from IRs if i dont pay the sheriff will show up at my house today,

Third call today - sounds like a robot on sleep inducing drugs    Officer Julie "Smith" from IRS  says important that we (or any one else who might answer, apparently) get back to her before any action is taken against whoever answers the phone.
It ends with "goodby and take care"   Where can we report this?

Fake IRS scam.
"... your retained Attorney of record to return the call.  The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive.  I'm officer Julie Smith from Internal Revenue Service and the hotline to my position is 202-241-8620.  I repeat 202-241-8620.  Do not disregard this message and do return this call before we take action against you. ..."

Sleaze ball scammer.  

This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.

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:

We just received a call from this number.  Person on the other line says we owe back taxes in excess of $6000 and wanted payment today or else my wife get's arrested.  Smells like a scam to me.  I'm reporting them to the Sheriff.
