IRS Phishing Scam...Automated Robo Call claiming that you have outstanding arrest warrants issued for you by the IRS and requesting a call back.  Since the IRS will NEVER call a tax-payer for outstanding taxes, this is an obvious phishing expedition.  Additionally, because the prefix comes out of Washington state, it is likely this is from an overseas source.

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.

Call blocker might be of some help.  Also don't pick up on numbers you do not recognize, or where there are caller IDs that seem odd.  Or where there is no caller ID.  There’s  no way to stop the calls from being initiated. _____

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.   Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter.  But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters.  90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively.  IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes.  IRS has no powers of arrest.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of  money.  IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone.   IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case.  No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments.  Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but  usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement.    All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals.  All  contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

Left a message that there was a warrant for me or someone at our number.  Problem it was a robo call and the robo didn't wait for our entire message to go out.  Figured it was a Phishing trip and deleted it.  We should be able to sue and get money for all the trouble these type calls cause.

I received a call today to 407 600-1799 (my number) this man told me that there was a warrant out for her arrest due to tax invasion. He has 3 hrs to resolve this or she is going to jail. I went to my boss and she looked up the number and found out this is a scam. I was scared to death! I have two small children!

Same call from Kevin Smith.  Said the cops are coming to my business in 15 minutes.  He was very rude!
Would love to put him a jail.  I have a 407 area code.

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.

Just got a message on my phone from this number threating me to call back for a law suite against me.

Caller said it was the IRS and I have eight hours to act or I will be arrested.   This call is a complete fake but even worse, at this time I am having a back and forth by mail with the real IRS. The robo call has some english usage errors.   I am in area code 561.... I have blocked this number using the phone app Contacts+

Robo call, very mechanical voice saying an arrest warrant has been issued and my property and bank accounts will be confiscated.

I got this call this morning.  It went to voicemail.  On the voicemail it was a robo call saying that my personal property was being investigated.  I called the number back. It rang several times, like 20 times with no answer.  I hung up.  I got a phone call back immediately that I didn't answer. Then they called back again right away. I answered and it was a man with a thick middle eastern accent.  I could barely understand what he was saying.  He said he was from the bureau of ? and I said "what?" and he said "the IRS". I told him I was good with the IRS and I thought he was a scam and not to call me again.  Then I hung up on him and blocked his number.

How do you block these numbers got a call today for the same thing.

You can buy blockers on Amazon.  Sometimes your phone company will block for you.  On cell phones there should be an app that will work.

Left message on answering machine, told to call back or I will be going to jail has a arrest warrant issued.

Received a robo message stating they were the IRS and we were under investigation and could be fined if we didn't return the call.  Out of curiosity I returned the call and a thick accented man answered and I asked his name and then asked why he was calling my home.  Line immediately went dead.

Got a phone message this morning from this number stating that my property was being investigated by the IRS and needed to call back immediately.  Woman who answered had bad foreign accent and could not understand completely, but a scam in progress I'm sure!!!

auto dial asking for call back...called back and they claimed to be with the IRS...foreign accent...challenged and then he told me to go [***] myself...thought it most likely wasnt the IRS at that point and called them back five times in the next five minutes and let them have a little bit of their own medicine

I got a call this morning. I didn't answer and it went to VM. They left an automated message that said there was a warrant against me and there was an ongoing investigation. I needed to call them back to avoid prosecution. LOL! Whatever! Such BS!
