Im getting calls from this number from some [***] that doesn't even speak English! If you are gonna hire somebody to phone solicit people you might want to make sure they can speak the language correctly!

This person who does not speak very good English told me I was approved for a loan.  I told them I had not applied for a loan & remove my name & #.  He told me that I was lying on a recorded line.  That is not the case.  I tried the number back & it said the Magic Jack customer could not come to the phone & leave a message.

received this call at 3:34pm....I do not answer calls unless there is a name with them, they can leave a message....this one left a message and it was a woman saying something about calling her back at this number about my loan.......really......if I need a loan I go to my bank......ONLY.....this needs to stop.....this is what we get for "The Free Trade Agreement".....make it stop and STOP NOW

This is a scam caller advising about a loan we took out and we need to call a number to cancel the loan??? We didn't take this loan out and when I looked up the number I found these complaints.

Here are two pages of links to (mostly government) sites in Canada and the USA were you can report those scams, or learn more about them.

A man called that does not speak very good English wanting to speak with me, as my wife was asking questions he starts yelling at her telling her to shut up and stop talking so he can speak.  She said lose this number there will be no message relayed.  He started yelling that I have a warrant out for my arrest and they are going to arrest me.  My wife started laughing...he got very angry....and hung up.

Said they were with Criminal Investigations of IRS. Did not speak English. Scam

Said they were with Criminal Investigations of IRS. Used completely computer generated voice.  At least the first time it was a real human leaving the message. This scam must be popular.  It's a shame people will do this sort of thing just to scare some money out of folks.

Said they were with Criminal Investigations of IRS. Used completely computer generated voice.  Called 3 times over 4 hours.  Asked that either we call or our attorney - funny if they actually want to get an attorney involved.  

IT IS A SCAM!!! An English sounding computer generated voicemail message "Extremely time sensitive - We are with the with Crime Investigation Unit of the Internal Revenue Services - Call (901) 399-9471 - return the call NOW! If you don't return the call the only thing we can do is wish you good luck as this situation unfolds on you. I returned the call it went to a so called secretary to directed the line to the so called agent. The agent Knew my name repeated it to me and said I owe the IRS $5,000 and to settle it now. I said "Here is my accountants number please call him." He said "NO MAM I am not going to call your accountant." I said "We I guess you aren't who you say you are, are you? He said let me talk to "??" I said No he will only direct you to our accountant as well. He got very angry and said he was going to have me arrested. I called "??" and asked him to call this person. He did and he was laughing so hard when called this person after they said they were going to have him arrested if he didn't settle the claim right now. The fake agent could NOT give any details of what they were saying. directly to voicemail and the recording in very broken English sounded with an Indian Accent said "You have reached the office of ???? with the crime investigation unit of the IRS - "recorded message in English said - I am sorry this person cannot accept anymore message."  

Obviously they are from India switching their numbers from computer to computer thinking they aren't being traced.

The fake agent could NOT give any details of what they were saying. He through out some years - so what he couldn't say what it was for. I called him back 5 times - it went directly to voicemail. This is what the voicemail said in the recording in very broken English with a heavy Indian Accent "You have reached the office of ???? with the crime investigation unit of the IRS - then abruptly another recorded message in English said - "I am sorry but the users box cannot accept anymore messages, sorry."  

LOL - when he saw my number pop up again he obviously doesn't want to talk to me. Let's see how long it takes the IRS to find this operation.

Obviously they are from India switching their numbers from computer to computer thinking they aren't being traced.

Caller: Criminal Investigations of IRS
Call Type: Debt Collector

I couldn't really understand the heavily accented message, but the gist of it was that I was wanted for some sort of criminal activity. This call followed one from minutes before, which said I was in trouble with the IRS.

I got the same thing!!!  Indian sounding guy...  has called numerous times saying we are going to be arrested for tax evasion....  OMG!!

I got the same thing!!!!  He won't stop calling.......

I got the same thing today and yesterday. He's blowing up my phone!!!  I answered it, and told him I think it's a scam....  hung up. He had better stop calling.

same thing with me today

He claimed I am in trouble with the IRS, and so I am but payment arrangements have been made already. I requested an email or letter stating the charges so I could shop for the appropriate lawyer.  He assured me the letters had already been sent and I had already received them.  I told him I had not received anything and he flat out called me a liar.  I begged him not to take my 401K (I don't even have a 401K) and he went so far as to tell me he could even get me fired from my present job.  He seemed to get upset when I brought t up the fact I had no intentions of doing business with anyone over the phone because I did not know him from Adam, Moses or any other potential scammer.  I was beginning to have fun with him and he said he could have law enforcement out for me within the hour .....gotta go brush my teeth....that was 30 minutes ago and I probably ought to spend a few quality moments with my family before my world falls apart.  Reckon I'll get one good cup of coffee before I go.

Heavy accent officer claiming investing criminal activity  

This is no "officer". This is a hardcore criminal working out of an overseas boiler room using VOIP to make it appear that the calls are legitimate and originating from within the US.

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.
