408-207-7103

Scam artist

Caller claimed to be officer with IRS.  Claims I owe $6000 in taxes.  States for me to pay this amount for errors found in my taxes from 2009-2014.  If I dont pay I will go to prison, they will take my driver's license and freeze my bank accounts.  I received the same type of call last week from 202-831-1041 claiming I owe $2996 in taxes for 2005-2015 taxes.

Just got a call from these losers claiming to be the IRS. He wanted my name (could barely speak english). Being a retired police officer and internet scam expert, I countered with "why don't you tell me my name since it was YOU who called me. Surely you must know." He decided to hang up instead...

Just received a call from 408-207-7103 with a voice message stating it was the IRS and a lawsuit is being filed against me. I need to call the number back for further info. I called back...no ring tone.

Good thing I found this site!!

Just got a call from these idiots claiming there from the IRS  saying that there's a lawsuit against me. I called back the number and it says the subscriber you have called is not in service. Do they really think people will call back and give them the information that they want this is total BS total scam.

These idiots got my cell phone number and called me twice today.  I didn't bother returning the phone calls.  If the IRS wants money, they will notify me with a letter!

Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.   Block and ignore.   DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.  IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government.     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 as related to ordinary tax disputes.  Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime.  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.

Thank you for the information.  I got another call from this same number last night.  I didnt call back last night but I did call back this morning.  The number is no longer in service. I'm changing my cell phone number because I think this is stemming from identity theft I experienced late last year.
