571-210-5953

Message left on my phone said a tax fraud case is about to be filed against my name.  I should call this number back immediately.  Like....sure I will.  Sounds like a rip off I the making.

Mr. O'Conner from IRS informing me of impending suit.  Told him I was aware of the IRS scam and hung up.Vir

Caller (with a significant hispanic or cuban accent) stated there was a legal petition complaint against my name, in the area of tax fraud...and for me to call the number back ASAP to speak to a legal representative....before this case goes to the Court House or I'm arrested..Caller ID shows the city and state to be Sterling, Virginia...I received a similar call once before, and answered the call before going to voice mail....I told him that I was ready to go to jail and for him to come to my house and to send the sheriff...I'm still waiting..that was six months ago...Got to be something to calling them back whereas they obtain information from your number and then follow-on questions to scam the elderly...if it didn't work for them, they would quit calling....inform your neighbors and especially your parents and grandparents...you never know!!

Received the same call as Jimbo...got an "unknown" call a few weeks of the similar nature.  I am shaking in my boots!!...not!!  My caller sounded very middle eastern...

Received a call threatening legal action due to tax evasion allegations.  This item was also reported on the local 6 o'clock news (philly area).  Evil stuff from another set of bad guys.

Received a call today from James Anderson of the Tax Audit Department of the IRS, with a possibly Filipino accent, claiming we were being sought for Tax evasion/Tax Fraud.  Will report this to IRS.  Phone number for this call was 571-210-5953.
Received two calls in January 2015 from "Steve Martin" (heavy east Indian accent), phone number 904-418-8353, claiming we owed the IRS money for a Federal Criminal Offense, and if we didn't return the call, we would have to appear before a magistrate judge or grand jury and/or be arrested.  Per information copied/pasted below from a post by "Alfalfa" when google-ing this 904 area code number, I will report this scam to the IRS as well.
Beware people--It's tax time and they're out to steal your hard-earned money.Don't fall for it, but DO report it to the IRS.

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

Call from a very nervous guy claiming to be Tax Enforcement Officer James Anderson from the IRS, at which point I hung up.  Its a SCAM.  Hang up, do not call them back.

Recieved a voice message from this number saying there was a case for tax fraud pending against me and I needed to call back before I got ARRESTED! I earn so little the IRS owes ME money. I don't think I'll call them back.

Everyone call him an indian if they wont stop calling and leaving voicemails, i made him stop calling 👳🙊

Received a call from 571-210 5953

The person identified herself as Myla, she has a strong accent making it difficult to understand her speech, stated she was callling from the Internal Revenue Service asking for my attorney name and phone number. Stated that she would be mailing me a subpena and bill for outstanding taxes between 2008 - 2012.
I hung up and called the number on my caller ID as stated above and I was told by the same person that I had reached the Internal Revenu Srevice  located in Washington DC

Received call from woman with accent claming to be IRS fraud officer.  I asked when my notification by mail had been sent.  Was told to stop interrupting with questions as we were "running out of time", and my case was being filed within the hour.  Nothing wrong with my taxes! Scammer.

This just happened to me less than an hour ago. A male by the name of James Anderson badge number: 7997025 from the tax audit department.  He had a very strong accent and was very hard to understand. When I question his call he told me "not to interrupt him or he would send the police straight to my home". Now I know that everything is perfect on my end with my taxes so this put up a big read flag for me... When I began to ask him questions he became Irate and told me to [***] off. So My mother called and he answered saying this is the IRS. she asked to speak with his supervisor and he said [***] you [***] and hung up....
FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD.
Thanks for then info

A man calling me from this number threatened me - and stated men are on the way to my home to arrest me.

someone called and said I was going to be arrested for tax invasion and I needed to call another phone number. I just hung up; but the number they called from is.571-210-5953.

Same thing as everyone else has been receiving. I very happily thanked him for calling and asked him to hold on while I completed the trace on his phone call. He informed me that he no longer wanted to talk to me and hung up. I think that I need to memorize Liam Neeson's line from Taken for the next time one of these scumbags call.

The usual IRS scam.  Woman with a heavy Indian (?) accent.  As soon as she said IRS I started to ask if she was going to send me my money.  I kept up this line until she gave up and quit.  Have fun with these creeps.  Blocked so I won't hear from them again (at least not from this number).

If you have time, jerk them around if not, just hang up or leave the phone off the hook for a while.

Called and left message also about tax fraud. Another phone scan do not answer or return calls

They claim to to be the IRS. This is a scam, run, the IRS never calls people.

Received from seargent James Patterson on my voice mail at 8:40a.m. that I should contact the legal dept. At this number involving a case of fraud. And tax evasion. I should call before this action would be filed in a federal court. No one will answer the phone at this number.why can t the I r s trace this number and track down the individuals behind this scam?
