hi please look in to this matter .some one keeping calling saying he is from the irs and the demand money ,
i know is a prank call this is the second time they keeping calling me for money.

No one here is calling you.  Therefore we can not help by looking into the matter.  The caller is probably from India and faking the 202 area code.  Simple solution - do not answer the phone!  This is a scam to get money from you.

The matter has already been looked into. This is an international extortion scam run by hardcore criminals:

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

I get calls from this Asian male every day, from early a.m. to evening. When I return his call he said he was from the IRS investigative services and there was a case against me. I said I was unable to understand his heavy Asian accent and asked to speak to another agent who spoke better English he said there was no one there at the moment and hung up on me.
I am totally aware that this is a scammer. How do I make him stop calling me. His constant calls are a an annoyance and invasion of my privacy.

Your only other alternative is to contact your telecommunications provider for assistance in blocking the calls or invest in a device which can be programmed to automatically reject unwanted calls.

Was getting these phone calls months ago and they finally stopped.  But here we go again. :(

Major SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He keeps harrassing me, my family, and even PARENTS.

First time with Indian accent, later with robotic voice, please inform as many as friends/relatives about this fraud hungers, calling on behalf of IRS.

Two messages left on the answering machine for our elderly mother saying they are calling from the IRS and have a legal case pending against her, etc. This is a fraud. The IRS does not call people.

unsolicited call.  Caller id'd himself as Officer Mark.  First call was recorded message.  Called phone number and was referred to Anthony De Costa.  Would not answer re: what charges were or any other relevant info.

Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.

Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.

Have receive 3 calls from this number in past 24 hours.  Robotic male voice claiming to be IRS agent who needs to hear from "me or my attorney".

Scam - the IRS does not call you to tell you that they are filing a lawsuit against you.  You get a letter via registered mail.

Just received a call from this number with a foreign gentleman telling me that I had a tax evasion charge against me.  When I told him that I did not, he said that someone would be out to arrest me and hung up.

2x today female robot left a message "you are being sued..." On my answering machine. Same number both times.  Got these a few weeks ago as well.  Don't know why FCC or some entity can't stop these predators!

Got this call twice today now, both times the voice mail sound like a machine spitting out numbers. Not sure if it is someone claiming to be from the IRS but the call did say Washington DC. But as we all well know you can put in any number from any place when you can be right out side or thousands of miles away. I don't answer number I don't know anyway and further more THE IRS DOESN'T CALL YOU!! EVER ! If you owe them money they will send you something in the mail that's it. Dont be a victim of a scam!

Received a call from this number in a female robotic voice saying they were the IRS and filing a law suit against me.
