Man with Indian accent called staring he was from the IRS.  I hung up on him after he stated making his pitch that I was in trouble with the IRS.  Called back the number on my phone to get a recording saying it was the IRS and that all agents were busy.  The real IRS never calls but sends mail with what they are concerned about.  please don't fall for this scam.

IRS Scam needing money to avoid arrest

I called the number back and started screaming in the phone

Received the same call on voicemail.  Officer Sean Marshall, yeah right.  Hubby had died decade ago.
Called back and lost it royally, IRS mispresented and never calls you.  Ended up hanging up on me
never did hear what he had to say.  Indian accents flying around the whole call center.  No IRS employee
carries their title to the phone immediately.  SCAM

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:
