415-506-1667

I missed a call from this number and received a partial voicemail with the beginning cut off. It said something about the IRS and to not disregard the call.

They called my cell phone but  caller stayed silent till i hang up

Same IRS scam as I was getting from this # 202-241-9749 last week. Search that number for replies and counter measures.

Scammer!!! Recorded message from officer Julie Smith(really??) saying I'm in trouble with the IRS ...
Wish it was live. Would love the opportunity for a really good head game..

Scam! Called back and asked questions to the lady that was so called from the irs. She became irratated and hung up. Called back 7 times and got forwarded to a voice mail.advice call them back and tell them to shove it up their a**!

Claiming to be IRS, total scam. threatened arrest

Call them back they will accept the call and engage.  They will eventually tell YOU to stop harassing them!

BS message about Julie Smith from IRS... I called them back to have some fun and the guy ended up cursing at me and hung up!

Julie Smith from the IRS again, last week from 415 251-6983.  Phone number traces back to Pacific Bell as the carrier in the Novato, CA 94949 area, near San Quentin prison.

Debt Collection calls are not illegal. If you have no knowledge of the person they are asking for, you may request the collection calls stop. If you have requested that the collection calls stop and they continue to call, you may contact the Federal Trade Commission to file a complaint or call 877.382.4357.

These people are claiming to be from the IRS and want me or an attorney to contact them

how do we get these calls to stop

I've been receiving phone calls from this number. I called back and the young man on the other end eventually became vulgar and harassing.

Terrible scam - received a recorded, threatening message from Julie Smith 415-506-1667, claiming to be an "IRS officer", demanding a call back.  I am so fearful that seniors or other vulnerable people might be harmed by this scam.  Please advise what can be done to stop these people, and hopefully fine and arrest them.

Many of those phony IRS calls are coming from India or Pakistan ... not much we can do to stop them.
The best defense seems to be "education".  Yep ... tell your friends, neighbors and others (both elderly and the young'uns) that the scam exists.

There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers on both Canadian and USA residents.
USA tax payers should read this:

Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.

This scam is also described as scam #11, here:

Remember to return here, to 800notes.com, after you look at any of the information at that site, either to post more information, or to let us know you avoided the scam, or to read any further information about that number that others may post.

Call blocker.  The calls originate in either India or Pakistan and they will not stop.

Call blocker.  Seems to me the IRS should try to get more information out there.  TV spots.

All the cheap TV spots are currently taken by political ads (grin).

Maybe a new "reality" tv series is necessary?
"How I avoided being scammed" or "Can you recognize this scam"  (grin)

Hmmm.  Maybe that is not such a bad idea?

The caller claimed to be a IRS staff, and told me that I am in trouble with IRS.

Got a voicemail saying they are the IRS and asked for a call back before they take any action.

This is a result of the hackers stealing our bank information from Chase Bank. The bank claims that they didn't get our passwords but got our personal info which includes our telephone number and address. Be careful. They want to talk to you to trick you into giving them your account information.
