Caller with an Indian accent left a message claiming to be from the IRS.

same as Dennis comments. Voice message is not clear.

I have had 4-5 calls from this number and another (585) number in the past week. The message is an Indian man claiming to be from the IRS. I barely understand his message. He says his name is Paul Martin and there is a mistake on my tax return. Beware.

just got  a call from this number saying his name was Baxter something or other from irs

Same thing for me today - 3/24.  Indian accent guy telling me there's a problem w/ my income tax. It's totally bogus, surprised this guy is still going!

Received a call from a "Michael Brown" with an Indian accent saying he was from the IRS and that the $$ I claimed on my taxes didn't match up and I should call him back or have my attorney call back.  Bogus call.  Beware!

We got a message from John Anderson at this number...can barely understand it but it is about IRS info.

Got a call from this number claiming to be David cook from the irs

This number called my phone 5 times in 5 minutes - finally answered it and man with thick accent said he was from the IRS and asked for my name which I didn't give him - I asked who he was looking for and he mumbled a name that I could not understand - then told me that he had spoken to Mr. Couldn't Understand name a few days ago and that he know this was the correct number. When I told him I have had this number for 6 years and there was no "Mr" associated with this number he said "How Long?" and I repeated 6 years - at this point he apologized and hung up....WTH??

Called by David Cook, heavy Indian/Pakistani accent.  Claimed problems with wife's tax return.  Wife doesn't work, has no income.  I asked "David" why I didn't receive notice by registered mail.  He insisted I call this number and ask for Adam Spencer.  I asked him what the case file number was and he said he didn't have it because of the "sensitive nature" and the "confidentiality".  I asked him what his position with the IRS was.  He said assistant....(garbled).  He volunteered his ID number (93282647).  I will be calling IRS/FBI, they may or may not be interested in somebody impersonating a Federal Officer.

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.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

I just got a call claiming that my elderly mother in law owed taxes (in which she does not) and should be paid immediately. I told her she was full of S!@#.

Thank you - just tried to call the Treasury Inspector # and went through automated system to a message box and couldn't leave a message because the box was full. I hope that means lots of people are reporting this number. I did also call my local FBI office and the local IRS Scam office and left a message with my contact info and a brief description.

somebody call to my house then say my tax have issue call this # 585-633-1814  to resolve. when i cal the number they threating me to take me to jail because i owe taxes from IRS. be careful  THAT IS SCAM PEOPLE.

I just got a call from them. Peter Collins left a message and when I called,  Adam Spencer answered the phone, he himself called a chief officer of criminal investigation of IRS.  He asked me if I got a lawyer.  Then without any explanation, IRS are suing me for my previous filing income tax.  When I tried to clarify, he got angry, hostile, and yelling at me, then he said he would connect me to police officer. When my husband investigated IRS, they said it was scam.  

I got a message from someone with a thick Indian accent stating he was from the IRS and a lawsuit was being filed.  The only thing he could pronounce correctly was his name Paul Martin.  Sounded fishy, so I went on line and found a pattern.  I'm not the only one.

Please don't trust this number! It is a scam!

Caller with Indian or Pakistani accent called claiming to be with the IRS and said we need to call another number to talk with an IRS agent.
