716-242-8250

Got a voicemail from this number saying they were from Golman & Rod and that I was listed as a contact for a relative named Mike. Wanted me give him their phone # regarding and urgent matter. Only problem is that I have no relative by the name Mike.

Got a voicemail from 716-242-8250 saying they were from Golman & Rod and that my husband was listed as a contact for Marti Fisher - we do not know anyone by that name!

Just received a call saying it's from the IRS and I'll get arrested if my attorney or I don't contact them.

Got a phone call from (716)242-8250 said he said his name was Justin Williams and he was from the IRS and that I was going to be arrested for tax fraud and that the police were going to be by to pick me up. Scam Scam Scam Beware

Got a phone call from (716)242-8250 said he said his name was Justin Williams and he was from the FBI and that I was going to be arrested for tax fraud and that the police were going to be by to pick me up. Scam Scam Scam Beware

Just got a call similar to Ron's.  It did not identify me personally.  It was a recorded message from someone who said his name was Justin Williams, that he was calling from the IRS, that I must have my attorney of record or myself call 716-242-8520 or that he would issue a warrant for my arrest.  It sounded like a boiler room (could hear others talking in the background) and "Justin" had a foreign accent (perhaps Indian?).  Sounds like a scam to me.  You'd think that impersonating the IRS would carry a big penalty...I'm planning to report it right now!

same scam as above. Beware. they are going after elderly people I believe.

Justin Williams called and represented himself as a tax fraud investigator threatening arrest unless I returned his call and resolved a tax matter. I actually returned the call. Turns out Mr. Justin Williams can't be bothered but another "agent" from the tax fraud department can help me if I will only provide certain information. When asked what tax fraud department he worked for there was a long pause with a third party in the background coaching the "agent" on what to say. I repeated the request to speak with Justin Williams, who represented himself as being with the FBI. The "agent" hung up with no response.

There is no doubt this scam would work on my 88 year old mother. It is a shame we can't talk to Mr. Justin Williams' mother.

I did too

That's what just happened to me, it scared the crap out of me, my husband just got deployed a couple of days ago. I am here with my children thinking what is going on, I thought any minute a police officer was going to come to my door and my babies would be all alone. I been crying, it's not like I just contact my husband. Thank goodness for these message boards. I am already beside myself with my husband leaving and now this, this has to be illegal. I'm still trying to calm down.

Received a call from 716-242-8250 ... aggressive man with broken English accused me of committing a fraud against the IRS for failure to pay taxes & asked if I had an attorney who could represent me ... says he is officer Eric Foster and can only wish me good luck if I do not call him or have my attorney do so ... really?

Damn I wish I could reach. I could. Strangle these guys. Who do. I. Call

got a call saying IRS and they wanted me to get ahold of them right away or be arrested. SCAM because I already settled with IRS.

this is the address that these need to be reported to.
The more people that report this the quicker they can be shut down.

I also received a call from the alleged Justin Williams saying that I had an outstanding tax liability.  It scared the crap out of me.  I called the number back from my protected line and he said he needed the name of my attorney and then hung up on me.  I called him back and he called me a bunch of bad words and asked if I had nothing else to do.  

me too - and then they hung up on me

and then when I asked what this was about he hung up

Common scam.  Originates in India.  The calls are not random.  They have all your personal and financial information.  They pick on single women, single mothers, the elderly, and members of the immigrant community.  They also pick on anyone they think might be vulnerable from having financial difficulties at some point in their lives.  

See:  http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Warns-of-Pervasive-Telephone-Scam

Report them to local authorities.  Try to get the word out to other members of the military dependents community to be on the lookout for these kinds of calls.   Anyone who calls you with an Indian accent either (a) threatening you  (b) offering you something is most likely engaged in a scam of some kind.  Don't fall for it!  

I'm an enrolled agent for the IRS (inactive) and I can tell you that tax disputes are a civil matter and are between the IRS and taxpayer.   IRS NEVER initiates contact by call.  Paper only.   Police are NEVER involved in  income tax disputes and 99% percent of tax disputes are settled by negotiation.  IRS has absolutely no authority over what police do or not do.

Beware.   Take care.   Sadly, you can expect more calls from scammers from India.  Don't pick up on calls you don't recognize.  Get a call blocker.  

As I say, report this matter to local authorities.  This is nothing more than an extortion attempt.

They are scammers located in India and beyond the reach of US law.  

Still report them.  If enough people do, maybe something can be done.

Don't call them back.   Unless you're going to tell them to go to hell.  If you do, make sure you shout it.   Tell them they are not getting one Rupee!   Yell it out to 'em.   That usually shuts them up for a few seconds.

They are picking on women a lot.
