415-234-9981

Possibly related to 415-506-8083.

415-506-8083 called several times. We never answered. They never left a message. Yesterday we answered. Robocall recording about an alleged site inspection. We hung up. BUT now they know our number is valid (& that we're stupid enough to answer unknown callers - D'oh!).

This morning (Saturday), 415-234-9981 called for the first time. They called 3 times & left 3 robocall voicemails (computer simulated voice) claiming to be "Officer Julie Smith from IRS".

Julie for the IRS called to say my attorney or I should call this number 415-234-9981 before they take action against me. SCAM SCAM SCAM -- the IRS does not call - they MAIL.

Robot Officer Julie left message (I don't pick up unknown callers) that I must return call to 415-234-9981 or they would proceed with IRS legal action. This is total BS, Don't call them back! Instead, call your Senator or Rep in Washington and insist that the Do No Call list never works. This is harassment. A rogue outfit can set their PBX to deliver/display ANY number without regulations. My blocked caller list is almost maxed out, My nerves already are.

jan,12th 2015 8:36a,m.received call and did not answer or return call to them since I found it to be  a threatening call the message was do not ignore this call and call back before action against me is taken  last words in message GOODBYE&TAKE CARE  WHAT IS THIS ABOUT???  

11:10 am. Got a call from number 415-234-9981 and Unknown Name on the CID. I don't pick up calls from numbers I don't recognize, or any Unknown Name, Unknown Number calls. 99.99% of them are phishing scams.

Voicemail was left. I listened to it and immediately knew it was a fake. It was a robotic voice saying the phone number twice, then says, in barely understandable English due to it's robotic nature, "Don't disregard this message and do return the call before we take any action against you. Good Bye and take care."

I looked it up here to see it's another scam. My local news site says, if you call them back or answer the call, sometimes the person (or computer) calling claims to be with the IRS, or the Sheriff's office, or some other law enforcement agency. Claims you owe back taxes and a fine, or you missed Jury duty and need to pay a fine, or you owe money on a [parking] ticket, etc., and you must pay right away, within the next 90 minutes. Go buy a Green Dot card for $xx.xx amount. Then call them back and give them the number on the card. Then they take the cash from the card, using the number you gave them, and steal your money.

What idiots would fall for this scam? Only truly stupid ones, I guess.

The IRS doesn't call you on the phone. In fact, who the heck would end a call with, "Good bye and take care", other than someone you know personally? No one.

THERE'S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE.
Don't be one yourself.

Same old IRS scam, as noted by others above.

Surprised they actually left a message, and even apparently wrote their correct number into the caller ID field (which they'd have to do if they plan to make any money from callbacks), thereby exposing themselves to law enforcement action.  Tho they did take the trouble to disguise their voice by having a machine enunciate their script, premeditating that if and when any enforcement action comes, each person associated with that number can deny they said those words.

>>> Surprised they actually left a message, and even apparently wrote their correct number into the caller ID field (which they'd have to do if they plan to make any money from callbacks), thereby exposing themselves to law enforcement action. <<<

Never will happen, and nobody should be surprised.  They sell magicJacks in India for about $100 US, and telemarking scams are viewed by the government there as legitimate jobs.  So they just hang out in their mother's basement calling the US for free on a magicJack they saved up to buy for the purpose of scamming US citizens out of big money.

Of course, if you complain to the right people (e.g., the Department of the Treasury and your state's Attorney General, and perhaps YMAX Corp., the captive company that gives out magicJack numbers and whose terms of service are being broken, you may have some luck.  MagicJacks can be permanently disabled (albeit only one at a time) by YMAX or magicJack based on a complaint like this.

Scam call from a recorded voice saying they were with the IRS and threatening me if I do not call the number provided.

I too received a message on my home voice mail from "Julie Smith" from the IRS wanting me to call her back.  I did not after reading all the other posts about this number- thank y'all for taking the time to post your fake calls, you save me some hassle had I called "Julie" back.

Officer Julie sounds a little too computerized - jeesh!

Wish I had read your posts
Called back and she said she's from the IRS and wants my criminal attorneys number! Jeez! Anyway told her was reporting her and her scam if she called my house again!
I'm sorry to say this but enough Hispanic scams going on in Houston!

DO NOT CONTACT THERE EVIL SCAM PEOPLE. tHERE'ER PRO'S. DON'T GIVE THEM ANY INFO ABOUT YOUR SELF. Debt, SSN#, or members of your family.  Got called 2day by a Sean Stiffler claiming 2B from IRS. We've been going through this since 7feb2014. Thc called @ 5:45am. A man claiming 2b a Mark Anderson,(another call from202-803-4758 on 12march2014 same guy)  with a thick India accent, claiming 2b IRS and my spouse had reported income few few years back. This should have been a red flag 2me since my spouse hasn't worked for seven years now. The was no income.  I got scared when he listed the things that going to happen to my spouse with immediately freezing of bank accounts, freezing of asset, seizing of passport, up to $25,000 in fine, and court cost...etc and the like the Sheriff was going to come and arrest me and arraign me right now.  They knew all the right things to say, when to sound mean. I received a call from 571 207 0690 threatening me from IRS penalty and tax evasion... The person identified himself as Kevin Brown and said I need to pay $3600 by end of the day by wire transfer. The person (or computer) calling claims to be with the IRS, or the Sheriff's office, or some other law enforcement agency. Claims you owe back taxes and a fine, or you missed Jury duty and need to pay a fine, or you owe money on a [parking] ticket, etc., and you must pay right away, within the next 90 minutes. Go buy a Green Dot card for $xx.xx amount. Then call them back and give them the number on the card. Then they take the cash from the card, using the number you gave them, and steal your money. Sad 2say I paid  up  to $2100 b4 I paid attention 2the red flags. Heck I was on the phone, my cell, with an FBI agent trying 2report what was happening. I told the evil man,someone claiming 2b a Mark Anderson, that we'er hangng up now. With out even a heart beat he clain " fine if that is what you want to do. Your want to take your chances in court" ECT" I am just trying help you out. Just say you want your money refunded and we'll file tax evasion charges and you take your chance in court." etc etc etc. It was enough 2make question. What if I'm wrong and I am endangering my spouse ;-( These guys are pro's. DO NOT GET ON THE PHONE WITH THEM. Please learn from my mistake. If you have Question about your IRS account here is the true IRS number 2call 1 800 829 4933 option #1, #6, #1 and that should get you to an operator 2direct you call 2 BALANCED DUE DEPT. then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.

They left me a very strange sounding message too. Immediately suspicious & I looked it up. Thanks!

I got the same call from agent Julie Smith. Also called from number 415-506-2410. If u call it back it says its a magic jack customer or it just rings n rings. Its a scam! IRS wouldn't call n threaten anyone n they would contact by mail. They also wouldn't end a call with good-bye n take care.
