210-418-4601

I am from the IRS have a warrant for your son Mario Deleza. This call was received on the mother's cell number. She has kept the message just in case it is needed.

My son was told the IRS had a lawsuit against him on the phone message today and to call them back. This is our 4th or 5th call from this scam in the last few weeks. Awful people!!!

"I am calling from the Internal revenue service a law suit has been filed... my name is kelly smith please do not hesitate to respond..." This is some indian or pakistani voice.  x2

Last month the FBI arrested a scam group out of Ga that was running a IRS scam. They had stolen over seven million dollars with their fake scam saying you owe the IRS.

Reminder
The IRS does not call you!!!! They send you a certify letter and you call them. Also NEVER PAY anything to anybody claiming you owe money over the phone.

They called twice wanting to inform my daughter that IRS was filing a lawsuit against her.  Names used were Kelly Smith and John Austin although they have
heavy foreign accents.  Told them to send information in writing.  John refused saying written notices already sent (no letters from IRS have been received by us).  He got hostile and told us to hire an attorney.  Told him we would & hung up.

I keep getting the same call from Kelly Smith.  I called and told her to stop calling me. She was extremely rude.  I called to speak with her manager and she hung up on me.

There is no manager per se.  They are all scammers and in the same stewpot together.  Calls originate in either India or Pakistan.

Heavy Indian accent caller threatened lawsuit over 7 phone calls.  Could not provide any personal information to validate who I was. IRS communication will not be a call out of the blue and will be official correspondence via mail. Please report these types of calls to Treasury.gov.

We are getting these calls from Kelly Smith as well. Today she left 6 messages.

Same person called for me at my parents house. I haven't done my taxes with their address in over 16 years. Hope this person (people) get caught. It's awful. Same voice too. Indian for sure. She did tell my father that as soon as he hung up the phone then a lawsuit would begin. I would be picked up by the police within 30 minutes and put behind bars for 7 months.

Messages on the hr all day from Kelly Smith. When calling back there in no room on her voicemail. She identifies as being from IRS.

We too have been informed of an IRS issue. We could not think of any reason for the call. I tried to keep him talking and he did not have any information to make me feel this was truthful. So I hung up.

I received 2 phone calls within the same day which were left on our answering machine.  The voice is of a female with perfect English, but heavy middle eastern accent and you can hear ambient noise in the background like it is a call center.  Woman states her name as Kelly Smith, but never requests who she is leaving the message for, yet she states someone has lawsuit against an individual and to call her as "this an urgent and serious matter."-This is a crock of bologny. Do not call the phone #.

Allow me to expand your knowledge of phone numbers that appear on one's Caller ID.

We can no longer believe the phone number we see on our caller IDs (CID) belongs to the person who called!  The bad guys are now using easily accessed technology to "spoof" the CID numbers, so their real number does not appear.

The problem has gotten so bad, the US government actually passed an Act, called "The Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009", making such spoofing illegal.  See http://www.fcc.gov/guides/caller-id-and-spoofing
for more information.

The FCC adopted that Act in June, 2010, stating that violators could be fined up to $10,000 for each violation.

However, the bad guys are ignoring this law ... after all, they are criminals, and that is what criminals do.  Although we now have a "law" against spoofing, it is very difficult to enforce it.

So, if you see a CID number on your phone when you are called by some scammer or telemarketer, it might not belong to the scammer!  It might be the number of some unsuspecting third party ... or, it might be one of those numbers that charge $25 (plus about $9 per minute) if you call it back.

Same as the rest.....leave a message from Kelly Smith indicating there is a lawsuit filed by the IRS and it's important that we call 210-418-4601. Upon doing so, I was transferred to an "officer of the IRS". He wanted to speak to my wife and I said he can speak to me, if he can speak english because I'm certain anyone from the IRS would know how to speak English. He said he could and I told him that according to Google, the people calling from this number is a scam. I asked him if he wanted to continue with the scam and he said "no, I won't waste my time" and hung up.

I just received a call from a lady saying her name was Kelly Smith and that she was with the US Treasury - Legal Affairs department.  I called back and asked to speak to her and a man with a heavy Indian voice.  Said he was asking to speak to my son Joe Goins 11 and I called my son.  

This is a pretty common scam nowadays, unfortunately.

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 tophishing@irs.gov.
