844-210-4555

gavin brown left a message on our answering machine.  I called back, he identified himself as an IRS employee and gave his ID# as W12145.  Foreign accent.  Said there was a lawsuit being filed.  I told him he was full of s__t and hung up.

gavin brown left a message for my husband, who passed away 3+ years ago.  Said he was from the IRS and there was a warrant out for his arrest and I needed to call him back to prevent the arrest.  I tried calling back - the call never connected through.   He had a foreign accent - this is bull.

Typical scam.  Don't bother trying to call back.  If your now-deceased spouse owed taxes, the IRS would mail you a letter via USPS.  They wouldn't call you, threatening arrest.  So sorry for your loss.

"Sean Taylor" from the IRS called to say I have unpaid taxes from 2008-2013. He had a strong Indian accent. When I replied that the US IRS does not conduct business this way, he told me "you talk too much." He said he could see my records. When I asked him to tell me the name of my Accountant that completed my tax forms he said he couldn't see that part of the record. The only information he had was my phone number and address, which are public record. I called the number back and Sean Taylor answered. When I asked him if he was aware that there is a web page full of information about scams from this number he hung up. Do not engage with anyone calling from this number.

Legal allegations against me  Indian accent bad English

Sean Taylor just left a voice message for me saying he was from the IRS Clearing House and had the authority to have me arrested. I called him back to let him know that I was turning the information he left over to the Arizona Attorney General. He swore at me then hung up.

Called here. We tried to call back, but no answer. They called back and said they were from the IRS and would arrest me. I asked him to prove he was from the IRS, and he asked if I'd like him to text me a picture from his phone. I told him I knew this was fraud, so he hung up.

Guy said he was from IRS when itried to call back it rang once, then discounted...sketchy!!!

Someone left voice mail threatening to arrest me unless I called back immediately.  He said he was a sheriff working for internal revenue.  When I called back, he said I was being sued by IRS and who was my attorney.  I said I had none and go ahead and sue me.  He hung up!

Guy had foreign accent, and background sounded like boiler shop.  This should be illegal!!

Got a call from guy woth accent from 8442104555 saying IRS has a claim against us and threatening me with sheriff taking me into custody if i didn't give them my attorney name and number. I didn't know anythong about a claim. I said yo him " how do i know they were really IRS?" and he said flippently "how do i know you are really L--?" I told him to call my husband's phone.  A women called him and he told them he didn't believe they were IRS and to send info to us by mail - they hung up.

There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers on both Canadian and USA residents.
USA tax payers should read this:

Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.

A man called asking if I had an attorney, said that he was from the IRS and that they were going to arrest me.  I hung up he called back restating what he said before and told me to stay at home for the next 2 hours because the sheriff and the IRS were on their way to arrest me.  I hung up again.

Man with foreign accent claiming there was a lawsuit against me through the IRS. Told him to stop calling me repeatedly with lies and scam tactics.

Same thing for me - the guy called 4 times after I hung up on him.  He called a 5th time and I didn't answer and he left a rude message.  What benefit is it to them to get our attorney or accountant's information?  Our paypal account was recently hacked (5 days ago).  I'm wondering if this is related. I sure feel like I'm under attack.

Our land line  was called at 8:40 am this morning and then my cell at 8:42 a.m.  A message was left on my cell to call back (844) 210-4555 stating I have broken Federal Tax Code 61331X to call back.  I called back and spoke with two Tax Officers: Adam Wilson, Badge No.  W2995 and Shawn Taylor, Badge No. DM-75.  They are stating I am being sued  by the Tax Fraud HQ Office in Washington DC for tax evasion and started to read an Affidavit to me stating I have no criminal record but I owe for 2006 through 2012 back taxes $6,400.95 according to their audit plus another $85,000.00 as a penalty.  They represent Attorney James O'Conner.  I have 19 minutes to pay in person or they will file with the local IRS Office & Police and will be coming to arrest me in 2 hours.  My Case No. C-S-E 2218.  I stated I have no idea what they are talking about and cannot or walk drive due to an accident.  I also stated I should have received a hard copy of the notice.  They stated a notice was mailed via First Class Mail in January 2014 and I did not reply.  I have no record of one.  They state that they tried serving in person in April 2014 and no was home, they left a yellow slip on my door and took a picture of it and still no reply from me.  I told them no yellow slip has been posted on my door to my knowledge and they stated I am guilty of lying as they have a photo of the notice on my door and then told me my address.  I told them I cannot pay the amount or fine in 19 minutes, they stated in 2 hours I will be arrested and detained for 48 hours and taken to the Federal Court House and then hung up.  I have always paid my taxes and this phone process does not seem to me to be legal nor right.  They are stating my wages will be paid direct to them, my home taken away, my car taken away --- I am self employed as a Notary so be my guest---I do not believe this is right.  they hung up on me.  Both had India foreign accents.   Very rude and threatening.  

I got a call from 844 210 4555 claiming I have a law suit from IRS and guy had a strong Indian accent.

sounded like an Indian-saying the IRS is filing a lawsuit against you who is your "criminal" attorney.

Told him it was a scam and I was not going to talk to him and I hung up

Foreign Indian accent. Could not understand his name. He stated that the IRS had just filed a lien against me. I hung up. This call was received Saturday after noon. We all know the IRS does not work on Saturday.
