IRS Scam from "Officer Eric Foster"
See lots of calls reported under # 571-298-8531

Just got a phone call from a Officer Eric Foster demanding a response or else! 571-298-8535.

I received a voice mail in a very threatening foreign accent to call and not ignore this call. Lots of background noise including other scam artists in the call center leaving the same message.  Ironically when you try to dial it back the call will not go through. I hope no seniors fall prey to this scam.

When I asked for his badge number he hung up.

I too, have just received a call from Officer Eric Foster. This is the second time that this has occurred. He left a message advising me that if I or my lawyer, didn't return his call all he could do was wish me luck. I called back and they answered, and I hung up. The first time they said they would be at my house the next day to arrest me. I invited them over, and bring plenty of help. I called The IRS last time, and they stated that they have received several calls about this. They also said that they were investigating it.

Don't be fooled by IRS impersonators. Almost all their business is conducted through the mail, not emails or telephone. I may be mistaken, but I don't think they'll cold call you unless you've contacted them recently. It's a lousy, timely ploy to scare receivers into giving out financial information. Like all other unknown numbers, ignore it all the way around.

I received a threatening call from Officer Eric Foster from the IRS too. I called the number back and he answered and I told him not to threaten me over the phone and he asked for my name which I did not give him and told him I was turning this in to the local police. He hung up on me and every time I try to call back again It is busy. The IRS and Police need to call this number .571-298-8535 back and do something about this.  Thank you

I returned the call from officer Eric Foster.  The officer who answered said his name was David Williams and his badge number was 171671.  He accused me of tax fraud. When I told him I would never do that he repeated my comment back to be and said "okay the police will come around to arrest you".   Then he hung up.  When I dialed back I got a busy signal. What the hell!

I just received a call from an officer Eric Foster claiming it's the irs

Just Received An Email From This Officer Eric Foster From The IRS Threatening Unfolding Trouble If I Didn't Reply to The Phone# (571) 298- 8535. When I Called  I Was Connected To Someone That Claimed To Be An IRS Officer. I Couldn't Undrestand His Foreign Accent! When I Asked To Be Connected To Someone I Could Understand, He Disconnected My Phone Call!    Beware!!!!!!!!!

I received 2 phone calls yesterday from a Jason miller.(571-298-8533) He claimed to be an IRS officer and presented a threatening tone asking me to call him back asap. He also claimed the matter was time sensitive. When I called back I got a message saying "licensed reached, # of calls limited and to contact administrator.? Going to report this to the IRS asap.

I was called and accused of something I didn't do , and officer Eric said that if u don't call back he wishes me luck , it's fake and a Scam , why did they do that though ?

The intent is to hopefully scare you into paying them some money, usually via green dot card or other untraceable payment methods. Its called Extortion.    Most of these calls are coming from India and Pakistan.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

I just received a "Unavailable" call I didn't answer from the same area code 571-298.  The last four digits were different.  They were 1025.     571-298-1025
