202-506-9033

Caller from IRS asking for tax due and sending police to my home

The caller is a fraud. Most likely an Indian fraud. They've been at this scam for several months now. Ignore the call or block the number. This scam is a very poor one. Americans know the IRS does NOT make phone calls. They use the USPS. We also know the IRS does NOT involve local law enforcement. EVER!
Be Safe. Be Aware.

Fraud. Continued calling for last two days with different numbers too ... they are looking for a "victim" who will think they are really IRS agents.

These people called us 3 times since yesterday and did not leave a message. We are in no call registry both national and state. Last time when I answered after one ring, they already hanged up. The caller id shows "Out of area" and their telephone number.. . .

Absolutely a Fraud. Do not provide any info. You can file a complaint with FBI at  www.ic3.gov and on IRS site www.irs.gov fill out form 3949-A. Choose Other in Section B and then describe the phone call under comments.

Sounds like a typical scare-type call designed to elicit panic in the subject so that the scammer obtains financial information in order to drain the accounts.  DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!

Man with a *heavy* Indian accent called from this number and left a voicemail message.  Lots of call center-like background noise with a long pause before he mumbled the name of who he was calling (not even close to my name) and then identified himself as "officer Mike Stevenson" from the "tax crime investigation unit".  Asked for the subject to call back as soon as possible as previous calls had been ignored (first time I actually received this number)...

BEWARE - Smells like a scam.  Call the official IRS number if you have any questions.

I also got the call today from 202-506-9033. The caller was having south Indian (Bangalore) accent with the call center noise in the background. I purposely did not pick up the phone and let it be recorded. Once you pick up such call, they will call you again. We all know that IRS sends notice only by mail and not by phone. Even the above number may be virtual phone # so that authorities cannot trace it. The caller said that he tried to call us several times about our tax problem, but we did not returned the call (he never called us before) and that he will be forced to take legal action against us. Best strategy is to ignore such phone calls. Since the call probably originated outside USA, our govt. can do very little.

I got a message to call Officer Denny Williams of the Internal Revenue Stated he had a suite filed on me for try to Freud the IRS & That I owed $2,000 but was willing to make a payment Plan for me. I called the IRS & They told me I had no such action against me & that wasn't the way they go about this. so I called back 3 times sounding concern & 3 times this officer Williams gave me a different Badge # now he wont answer...lol BEWARE & PLEASE REPORT I WANT THIS GUY PUT AWAY!!! P.S. He speaks with a very heavy east Indian accent.

My husband and I have both received separate calls, telling us that we owe money and that the local police will be called.  My phone message said that legal action would take place, while my husband's message said that something (the call broke up, so he couldn't hear all of the message) would happen in the next 45 minutes.  My husband actually called back and the man began reading his script. When my husband asked what would happen in the next 45 minutes, the man disconnected.

Same call received this morning at 7am. Officer Brian Daniels, calling on behalf of the IRS from the tax crime unit with a warrant being issued for my arrest. Every time I asked what government agency he was calling from and if I could have that number, he told me IRS and gave me the same 202-506-9033 number that showed on my caller ID. I asked for his government badge number and he said 35048. He had a heavy accent and I could hear multiple calls and voices in the background. When I told him i would call the IRS with his badge number and his "case number" about my warrant, he tried to insist I deal with him directly. I repeated I would call the IRS directly and he hung up on me.

I got a phone call from "officer" Denny Williams, number 202-506-9033. He knows my name, my wife's name and my address. He was saying that they are investigating a crime that I perpetuated. After the second call, I told him "go f*ck yourself" and he dropped the call.

Got the call left on my message machine, he advises his name is Johnny Marshall and I owe money to the IRS.
Glad I did a search on the phone number, and yes it is still an Indian man leaving the message.

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. 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://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ex-call-cen ... 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).
