IRS scam.

We got it today too...

Got this call, and another one from the 323 area code. Both IRS scam calls.

IRS scam.  Andy Parker from Dept of legal affairs.

Message left on my voicemail:  Aaron Rogers (with foreign accent-Indian?), with Department of Legal Affairs.  Gave "verbal notification in regards to enforcement action which has been started against" me.  Recommended I call back "or if too busy, have my retained attorney" call back if I "wanted to avoid a legal mess" .  Ended with "Have a blessed day.  and God Bless you". Caller used my real name.

Same as above Department of legal affairs some type of enforcement action.

Got this call this morning looking for my husband. Oriental man with thick accent Says they are Dept. of Treasury and he needs to talk to call back and talk to an officer Ryan Coleman about a legal matter he has been listed in! Yeah, bet the FBI wants to hear about this on and sure they already have.

you need to speak with inspector murphy asap--Asian speaking caller with irs

same message from department of legal affairs

Why are these guys not hunted down and arrested?
Looks like you can trace the call to a specific location...come on FBI...get on it!

I too just got this call right now, told us to call the same  Ryan Coleman, I checked online (this site) and noticed this is a scam, and when I called them back to tell them they're scam and not to call back again, the guy on the other end had the audacity to tell me 'since you know, why are you calling back?'  I called police dept, they say they got a lot of these complaints and they usually send an officer to talk to the supposed victim, but they wont tell me what their next actions are.

These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement.

If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.
It's a phone scam.In fact, it tops the IRS "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams this year, and it's been surging in recent months, the agency said Thursday.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, has received reports of 290,000 scam calls since October 2013 and said nearly 3,000 victims have been swindled out of $14 million so far.

By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.

Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.

They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.

Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.

The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.

If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.

That's the reason why these people can continue doing this scam as they know FBI/police are too preoccupied with other more persistent issues.  IT's up to us to do something, can someone or some technology bombard their phone numbers with automated phone calls, much like computer virus?  Just wondering.

The callers are located  in India nad Pakistan, as such they are beyond the reach of US law.  Local governments do very little if anything to shut them down.  Call blocker is your best bet.

Irs scam, picked up the phone and told him to go to He**! I wasn't born yesterday!

I got the same one on my answering machine.

From a different number, have attorney call and state "this is xxxx, counsel for Ms. Xxxx and I'm returning your call to my client."  They'll ask if you're  phoning from the same number or what was the number that was called.  "I'm not giving you my clients number, this is her attorney."  Click, they'll hang up on you and block you from phoning back.  Just a little of their own medicine.
