- S| 5 repliesRidiculous call saying I needed to put my work aside and call this number. Further said if I did not return the call that the caller wished me a happy life in a new country.....because the law enforcement of my state would be on my door step soon. Words that were clear included investigation - trial - enforcement (?).
My thoughts: Castration might be appropriate. This has gotten ridiculous!- Caller: Unclear

http://www.cashnetusa.com/consumer-notices - Wendy replies to S| 2 repliesReceived a call pretty much the same but said IRS but most of the message was so hard to understand there is no way the IRS would put someone on with such limited English speaking ability. PLEASE!
- B Barnes| 1 replyThis foreign sounding man with very poor English
Left a threatening message on my home phone. Claiming
IRS is calling and has an arrest warrant for me.
Hilarious.- Caller: Irs
- RexIRS replies to B BarnesThis 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. 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). You can use the following template for your letter (more powerful!) or email:

- Caller: Seattle Wa
- anon replies to WendyApparently you haven't had to call any government agencies in the last few years.
- anny replies to C BYour husband has an Indian accent? Which one called you honey twice?
- Anonym replies to SWe got the same damn call today. And no gov't agency would say 'have a blessed day'.
- Also ticked off replies to WendyGot same call, telling me IRS was investigating me, claimed they sent 2 letters prior and if I didn't call 206-414-4997 right away law enforcement would be at my door quickly to arrest me. That number was the same one he called me from, but couldn't transfer me. What gaul!!!! I feel sorry for any confused Seniors that get this call. Wish the phone co could shut it down.
- MichelleCalled twice today. Called for my husband....then used Motherf****er when i told him my husband was not avialible. Then tried to hit on me!!! "you should talk to me", "you should ask me questions about my life". He didn't know what to say when I said "I don't want to carry on a conversation with someone calling my husband about tax fraud!!!! He finally said "eric is your husband..?" I hung up.

- ReneeIRS Scam. Threatening action against you if you don't call them back or pay them money.
- Caller: Internal Revenue Service
- BOZO| 1 replyCalled me 3 times today. Recorded message said they had received a legal loan application against a tax fraud against me. Said I needed to call them before the action against me was turned over to the county where I live. They must think I am stupid or something. I will report this to the local police.....People be very careful
