- Alfalfa replies to RJWASHINGTON — 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.

- Pure_JusticeI also received a call from this number, claiming they were IRS. After I laughed that he was IRS, he hung up. He also had an Indian accent. I barely understood him, and kept asking, "who are you"? After about 6th time, I finally understood he said IRS. After I laughed and he hung up, I called the number back to yell at them. Kept getting voicemail that is is Martin something or another. Called like 12 times till I got someone on the phone. He sounded more Russian. He also said this is the IRS. I said, really, which office, he said Washington DC, I said, from a Seattle Phone Number, I asked, what is your employee number, he said nothing, I told him what he was doing is HIGHLY ILLEGAL!

- amaruSimilar thing happened. Several calls; Indian accent; arrest threats; He said he was from IRS on the first call; the second call he even pretended to be a police officer! Fortunately I had heard of this scam before and shouted back at him and assured him i will report his phone number to the police and hang up on him.
These shameless scam-artists should be punished and severely. If they have been making so many calls to so many people, the police, FBI or someone should get them arrested, fined, and exposed on national TV to discourage others from abusing the system. - MaryGot a message for the same Indian guy. Last call I got about one ago was from a different number....

- Rubina replies to JayI received same phone call I simply told stupid next time don't call me and also told him I report your number.
- Justin replies to Not HappyYou're totally correct! They called me and I asked them if this was a fraud and they called me a [***] and they said they will rape me...
- JustinWARNING- The people that call you from that phone number are fraudulent. They will deliberately harass you until you give the money you possibly "owe". They specifically called me a bi*ch and threatened to rape me. NEVER TRUST AN UNKNOWN NUMBER UNTIL YOU ARE REASSURED THAT THEY ARE GENUINE BY GIVING YOU INFORMATION THAT NO ONE ELSE KNOWS.

When I called the number from caller ID there was a message that I have called Mark Watson’s Ext. from IRS leave a message, Next day I called the number that the caller left me after few rings when to message. As I was getting to leave a message he called me (looks like a cell phone). Same none sense heavy Indian accent claiming he is an IRS officer & he could have me arrested or taken to the court. What a BS & waste of time.
