415-251-8504

Received a call from a person with heavy accent from India, saying that I have an IRS violation on tax Fraud, and that I will go to jail if I don't pay

I got one too.  I'm afraid to call the number.  Did you also get a ref #?

My wife received a call from a "Zach Thomas" saying we needed to call 415-251-8504 asking for our lawyers number for Michael Carter, When i got on the phone they hung on me. I called this number back consistently for 30 min after they hung up on me and they kept hanging up. They finally stayed on the line and i called the  IRS Treasury inspector general while they were on the line with me and all i could do was leave a message on that number. I kept it on speakerphone so they could hear me leaving the message and afterwards they hung up. I called back again and spoke to another person "Alex" after several minutes of going back and forth I was able to get his real indian name and when i asked why he told me alex he said it was his pseudo name, i asked why he was lying and saying they were the IRS and he said it was his job, I asked what call center he was calling from in India and he denied it and stated they were in San Fran. So to say the least this is a scam dont fall for it. I had fun for an hour bugging them though.

Yes, They called me too with the ref #.
I called back this number and Thomas answered... I yelled at him " You Scammer"..

I received a call from this number from people claiming to be IRS employees saying there was some sort of miscalculation in the system in which I owed them over $6000 and I would be arrested the following day if I wouldn't comply.

Yes I received a call from this number from Alex Thomas with an heavy ancient , which he claim to be working for the IRS & I was involved in a Tax Fraud for over the past 6 yrs and will have to owe over $6,000 . Once I told him this year was my first year filing my taxes, he hung up in my face. So I constantly called back no answer  

I received a call from Justin Johnson heavy India accent told me last 5 years of miscalculations. I told him I will contact my accountant and they will handle it. He hung up.

Just got call from this number - caller id - IGNACIO CA.  Same story - heavy Indian accent - hard to understand - some kind of legal issue with IRS.  While they were leaving message - call waiting - another call coming from the same number or call center.  Looked up the number and found this site to confirm it's a scam.

Same here.  They wouldn't answer my questions, but that I had to call back to Michael Carter of the IRS at 415-251-8504 and they even gave me a claim number.  And then I thought, it's Saturday morning.  No IRS office is open on Saturday.  They said the IRS openned a lawsuit against me because of false deductions.  I don't think the IRS sues.  They drag you in and they can garnish your wages, but they don't open lawsuits (I could be wrong on this)

There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers in both Canada and the USA.
USA tax payers should read this:

Note particularly the links at that site, warning of the scam!

A shorter explanation is Scam  #11, as shown at

That site also shows how other 800notes visitors have reduced the number of telephone scams and telemarketing calls they receive.  (And, a link to Amazon's phone blocker devices and apps is there).

Saw the above a few nights ago warning about tax scams. Got two this morning from this number. Be warned, people.

Do not want this scammer calling my phone again!! They've hung up on me once, but continue to harass.

I also received a call from 415 251 8504, the caller has a very heavy accent. I ran the message at least 10 times before I understand a little what he was talking about. Claimed that he is from IRS litigation department and very urgent and time sensitive. He said I have to call before a legal action will take place.  His name is Thomas. I called the number and he gave me a reference #.  He said because of tax miscalculation for the last 6 years, I owe IRS $4000 thousand something dollars.  He said I disregarded the notice from IRS once in January and again in February.  I told him I did not received anything from IRS.  He said if I don' t have to pay, the sheriff will arrest me tommorow. That was a threat.  I called IRS hotline 800 908-4490, and asked if there were notices sent to my address or if I owe anything. IRS said, my records all clear.  IRS told me to report incident to Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.  1 800 366-4484 tel,  (202) 927-7018 fax.. What a scam!!!!!!!

I also received a call from 415-251-8504 on my voice mail from a Ricky Johnson saying he was from the Tax Litigation Dept. I had to play the message several times as he did have a accent to his voice.
Claiming there was a deficiency in my taxes and have my lawyer or me contact them immediately. They also left a claim number. I contacted my tax advisor and googled the number and found plenty of listings showing this is a scam.

Report them here to the real IRS:

Exactly as everyone described it here...said I owed 6842.00 from miscalculations in my past 6 years of taxes and that several certified letters had been sent to my address and since I had ignored them I would be placed under arrest tomorrow.  I was seriously stressed at first, then he said if I paid 500 now this would delay the arrest and I realized what was going on.  When I said I would never pay them any money he screamed at me that he hoped I had a good lawyer.

Received two messages before 7 am about a claim number and my attorney needed to be in contact with them. Not gonna sweat it. The IRS can find my phone number if they need me.

Same BS phone calls the past 2 days for me as well. Ricky thomson, Indian guy, from rax mitigation.  Scam!!

Same as described by others... Very irritated and confronted them... They ended up yelling and saying "[***] you".

I blocked the number, hopefully they will get the message
