302-927-7422

Called today.  It's a recording from a man calling himself Steve Marden from the U S Treasury regarding an impending lawsuit against me and I should called this # 302.927.7422.  He spoke with an Indian accent.  This is a new # used by same type of calls.  Expect to get more of the same calls since it's a new tax filing season!  I used to compile a list of scam phone# but gave up because it's too many.

Got the same call several times. The guy said he was from the U.S. Treasury and it was urgent I called. Called it back today. Asked the guy where he was calling from. He hesitantly said New York. When I asked what city, he was stumped. I told him he was mistaken and probably didn't mean to call me and I hung up.

I got the same message....so irritating!

Scare tactics!

Yes, I got that phone call this a.m.   Oh, brother. Can't these people make money the legal way??!!

Of course not!  If they could, there would be reason for this site.

Received multiple calls from same guy with same US Treasury threat however in none of the messages did they state my name, very generic message, same as noted by others.  Guaranteed scam of some sort!

Got a second call from the same person, indian accent, no specifics generic message. Thanks for the comments above.

Same as above! Why can't the Feds shut these scammers down!

am on the phone with him now!

Last time this Indian guy called he was in Albuquerque!

Same experience here. Asshat saying US Treasury, law suit, federal court, etc.  No person specified and a number of people live here. Says "Call him to him help me..."  Ha.  Reporting this as follows:

   Contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. Use TIGTA’s “IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting” web page to report the incident.

https://apps.irs.gov/app/scripts/exit.jsp?des ... port_scam.shtml

   You should also report it to the Federal Trade Commission. Use the “FTC Complaint Assistant” on FTC.gov. Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your report.

https://apps.irs.gov/app/scripts/exit.jsp?des ... =en&OrgCode=IRS

I am reporting this as a "Prank Call" but 800Notes needs to add a "Scam" or "Criminal" category.

Same [***] as a couple months ago, I hope no one falls for their crap. I called back and attempted to make a date for us to meet with the County Sheriff, he hung up.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

This is the third time I received this call in the last week and a half.  Same all all of the above.  It's some Indian or middle eastern guy trying to threaten you with arrest, jail, and prosecution claiming to be from the US Treasury for failing to pay taxes.  I called him back (using number blocking) and told him to go F himself you scumbag scammer.  I reported it but they keep changing their number so it's just a blocking game.  Not that our government would do anything about it anyway. Every time they call on a new number I just block it.  The problem is pretty soon I will run out of space on my phone to block numbers.  Very frustrating that we have so many low lifes in this world.  I hope these scumbags die of cancer because that's what they are.

East Indian accent. Knew my first name. Told me I owed money on my 2011 taxes and threatened legal action. I told him i didn't believe him and wanted to speak to his supervisor...he continued reading off his script. I told him he'd have to contact me by mail if it was legit and that i had an accountant  who has done my taxes for years. Then i hung up.

I like to call them back, over and over and over......

I am told this is a scam

I actually got this call 2 days ago at 8:25 A.M.  Same answer as all of the above responses.

IRS scam call.  It was a recording from a middle-eastern man calling himself "Steve Martin" who told me to call back him.  I called and asked for "Steve Martin". Got a different person who seemed confused.  His English was so bad, I couldn't understand most of what he said.  I told him I couldn't understand him, and he said he would call back.  Continued conversation a second time and was told I owed $6000+.  I said I'd pay it and asked how.  He said it was not his job to collect.  He was only advising me about my imminent arrest for tax evasion.  He thanked me and hung up.  WTF?  How are they making money?  Will I get another call?  Anyone know what happens next?
