585-205-8208

They say from irs?  Keep calling when I call no connection

they pretend to be from IRS. do not give any info. its fraud

FRAUD!!! SCAM!!! THEY ALMOST GOT ME!   Recieved a call at 10:19 am today from 585-205-8208 and from 540-463-3816 at 10:42 am , they stated they were the IRS  the guy on the phone identified himself as Mark Victor and said the call was being recoreded and everything I said could be used in court he asked if I felt I needed an attorney. He asked if I knew why he was calling, when I paused in confusion looking for an answer, he stated there was going to be a warrant out for my arrest that was being processed within the hour at 12pm PST.  I was asked to confirm my last 4 digits of my social security number, number of dependents.  He then asked if  I was intentionally not paying taxes and he stated I owed $23,488.00 dollars.  Informed me my drivers license was not going to be valid, all bank accounts siezed, personal property seized, and any other items issued by the United States by 12pm PST.  It was all going to be on hold for 3 years and "black listed".  I was then told to plead with the restitution manager IRS -  ID number 100009655 – Julian Marshall, to give me possible options to get an extension to resolve my issue.  I was then transferred to Julian Marshall,  I stated I would be able to meet them at the local IRS office in person to review my case which they stated IRS CASE NUMBER, Julian said it was beyond the local IRS department and had been elevated to the point of arrest & seizure.  Julian asked me to confirm my current address which he read off, wanted to know if I had any judgements against me and was going to give me the opportunity to state evidence for review to see if I would be able to get an extension based on my cooperation and background and needed to be 200% honest during the interview.  Again I was asked about if I was involved in fraudulant activity, if I had any other judgements pending they should know about.  If I passed the interview evaluation they would allow me to make a good faith payment today by 12:00pm PST of 10% of the amount owed and a monthly payment plan was going to be placed and they needed me to choose the amount that I felt comfortable with for a monthly payment.  Julian asked specifically how I was going to pay the needed 10% and read off $2,349.00.  He said he wanted me to identify how I was going to pay then said do you have the funds in cash? Do you plan on borrowing the funds?  I stated I didn't have that amount of money in cash and would have to borrow the funds, or I would have to go to the bank and cash a pay check to pay.  He had first stated I couldn't use funds from a bank then asked later in the conversation if I had a debit card I could read off so he could track how I was planning on paying so this information could be added to the evidence for approval.
He then said I would need to pay with a "tax voucher" and proceeded to tell me I needed to go to a local Walmart, Safeway or Von's.  He then gave me the Von's and Walmart addresses near my house. He wanted me to stay on the phone the entire time with the IRS and give them the address to the locations I was at as I got my funds together and arrived at the local stores. I said at this point I am going to call my attorney on my work line I don't feel comfortable telling you my locations and staying on the phone the entire time.  He read off IRS code Section 6211 A and got irritated with me and said not to drive my car after 12pm because my license would no longer be valid and I would be arrested.  He wanted me to stay on the phone the entire time so I could prove I was cooperating and it would look better for my "case".  They wanted me on the phone the entire time while I went to get the cash and tell them when I reached the store and identify my location.  I needed to stay on the phone the entire time.  At this point I said that was not safe and I felt more comfortable calling back, I explained the number I called had a fax line and it wasn't linked to the IRS.  I asked for his IRS identification number, he gave me one and proceeded to call me from another line using another scam where he made the IRS phone number appear on my caller ID.  Once I said I wanted to call my attorney on my other line he got more hostile quoting my impeding arrest and seizure of my drivers license.  While on the phone I googled his name and the scam reports came up.  I knew then for sure it was a SCAM.  They continued their sham and transferred me back to my IRS fake rep. and he gave me a fake case number to give to my attorney.  That was a wasted hour of my life and an eye opener.

OH MY MY !!!! received call from 5852058208 and the funny accent guy claims to be one of the IRS rep. and told me that they have filled case against me for stealing taxes and when I asked his employee ID he provided me this ID 680120258 His name  was Alex Marshall. and few minutes latter when I call that number there is no connection. I searched online and it is showing its wireless number ( http://www.clevermedias.com/en/cell-phone/585-205-999.html ). Now I am on hold with IRS and going to complain about this number ... I wish I beat the [***] out of that guy face ..

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.

This is a fraudulent caller. Don't give them any information, I am reporting this to the TIGTA hotline.

Total Scam. Don't fall for it.

Some guy called our house stating he was from the Investigation Bureau of the IRS because there was a problem with my husband's name. The person calling stated his name is Steven Scott (Badge ID #1000248432). He stated my husband needed to call him back at 585-205-8208 between 8 a-6 p EST. Could hardly understand him and he seemed to get irritated when I asked questions. Tried calling back but all I get is a buzz/click. So much fraud going on right now. I am extremely concerned.

i also rec'd a call from the tel # 585-205-8208 the person said they were from the IRS and his name was mark maxwell and his was ID # 12N137 and that he was in oragon. he was calling from 585 area codewhich is ny.If he was calling from oragon it was now 6:47 am on the east coast, so the IRS has a dedicated employee calling at 3:47 AM ? I also called the number back and got the same as above no answer. i * 87 the  telephone number to block it ....hopefully this will work and i can stay asleep instead of playing some insane game.

I received call from 5852058208 and the guy with hostile and funny accent. He told me his name is Mike, and he wants me to call him back. I hang up the phone. He called me back...I don't pick up the phone. The phone ID is from Middleport, NY!!

Ditto all of the above- but calling for my daughter. Called at 6:46 AM, If the IRS wants you, They don't need to do this to get you!

Got a call from this number a little after 7am. I could hardly understand what he said, the voice was extremely heavily accented and mushy, almost as though he had been drinking. I could hear other voices in the background. I did understand the words IRS, Internal Revenue Service, time sensitive, possibly the phrase "locked out" and (I think) "blessed day."  I cannot imagine the IRS employing someone with that voice to contact anyone by phone.  

I received multiple calls from this number all of which went to my Voicemail. I knew this is a scam since IRS will "NEVER" call on phone , they send Mails. I cannot believe that there are such people who are just trying to think of means to make money by whatever means. Instead of getting regular jobs they are corrupting the society. Shouldn't the Govt agency be able to arrest these goons. Hey you ..if anyone is reading this post and are part of that scammers..Go get a job and earn your living .

Called me this morning at 7:10, woke me up.  Hung up without leaving a message, but called back 2 minutes later.  This time, a guy with a very heavy, almost unintelligible accent left a long message for [my name, last name incorrect] saying he was "Jason Smith from IRS" (not the IRS) and they had determined that there were problems with my tax returns, litigation would soon be started, and it was urgent I call him back to avoid legal problems.  He was obviously reading from a written statement and having a tough time doing it.  Caller ID on the first call said Middleport, NY, and on the second call Unknown Name, but with same number.

Caller with thick Indian accent stating he was from the IRS asking to speak with my father, who I said was unavailable.  I asked what this was in reference to and he stated that it was regarding the previous years taxes.  He said if he didn't call back immediately they would pursue legal actions.  
30 min later the called again asking for my dad.  These guys are relentless.

I check my voice mail this morning I got message from Steven Scott he said I need to call to this number 585-205-8208 when I call this number they said there form IRS and sound they harassing me and try to scare me using they cancel my drivers license and blocking my passport etc.. this people is totally insane and crazy if I where you  find the job instead doing this kind of scam this morning I cant work because of this call. I hope this people get in jail

I got a call from this number at 7:11 AM today, November 30th.  The caller pretends to be n IRS agent and speaks with an accent that is a bit difficult to understand.  I heard the IRS part and something about erasing the message would have serious consequences with the government.  I didn't give any info and promptly erased the call.

I keep getting repeat phone calls from this number. Un-solicited back to back to back calls.

I got the call on Sunday a.m. at 730 Eastern time from a California number 530-380-2641 same script. How stupid are they and I wonder how many stupid Americans give these heavily accented people their information. IRS calling on a Sunday a.m. yeah right.
