Call from this number claiming to be the IRS.

THEY even left the same number inn my voicemail to call back.

Total scam of course ... I reported this information to the IRS web site and by email. I also blocked the area code.

These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement.

If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.
It's a phone scam.In fact, it tops the IRS "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams this year, and it's been surging in recent months, the agency said Thursday.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, has received reports of 290,000 scam calls since October 2013 and said nearly 3,000 victims have been swindled out of $14 million so far.

By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.

Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.

They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.

Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.

The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.

If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.

just got the same call.  threatened to arrest me and sieze property.

They told me I was being suited. The irs doesn't need lawyer to get money out of you. Indonesia man named John Willson. Please beware.

called with recording saying to call them back as they were irs and had a law suit against me. called # back some [***], hen do, irab [***]  answer claiming to be irs. this same [***] called a few weeks back claiming to be micro soft trying to get me to open my computer to a link that allows them to access my computer from another sight. making claims that my computer is sending error reports and he is going to fix it. not racist well maybe but I would think so one with irs and micro soft would speak better English. at least the irs . really people? get a job!

I was expecting a call from my girlfriend, and instead I get this bad-accent, poor-English lost soul pretending to be IRS.

I think he said he has a criminal dax or tax case and I better settle. Must be tax, since he is saying IRS.

I told him I have settled down in my chair. I think he said something which meant, "no no, pay and settle the case file".

In the background I hear "Abdullah, Abdullah", also in strange Middle Eastern or South Asian accent.

I told him that I love him, Christ loves him, and asked if he was Muslim, from Pakistan or Iraq, and wanting to convert from being a terrorist and scam artist into a kinder, productive human being.

He screamed at me in a language I couldn't understand. I could only pick up what sounded like "insa allah".

I will pray for his soul this Sunday. How lost are these terrorists in the Middle East?
