757-419-5416

This is similar to the phone message I got a few months ago that supposedly came from the IRS.  Bad things are going to happen unless I (or my lawyer) call them right back!

"...like you to return the call. The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My name is officer -----  and hotline to my division is 757-419-5416. I repeat it's 757-419-5416. Now, if you don't return the call and if I don't hear from your returning either, the only thing I can do is I wish you a good luck as the situation badly enfalls on you. Thank you."
(Yes, all of the bad grammar is as recorded...)

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.

Thank you, I didn't take them seriously, just reporting it so others would know that this is happening.  I did report the callers  a few months back that said they were from the IRS, but this one just said basically "call us back or else", no company was named.  I will not be doing that!

You did the right thing by reporting them. The key to getting this and other extortion scams shut down is to educate as many people as possible. Thanks for sharing.

I literally just received this same phone call and it took me several listens to the message that was left to figure out what it was about. I haven't called back but I'm glad you guys wrote on this website because I just experienced this whole thing... It's garbage. Bottom line, thanks for posting and getting this out there.

Threatened to have me arrested and locked up for 90 days. Said they were from the IRS

This is a scam they say they are from the IRS. Threatened to have me arrested if I didn't pay a minimum of $500 now at an office they send me to. They would not tell me who the wanted to speak too or give me their name. Please help us stop these people.
