Shill, you are not fooling anyone here! Everyone else, please be aware that this a magicjack number used by IRS scammers.

This forum must hurting profits if you thieves have to come here to launch a "Pre-emptive Shill Strike"
Good......lets us know that we are hurting your pocket book.

Confirmed fraud attempt (investigation department of IRS script). This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.  
Read http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm

As general background information, here are a few things you can do:
1) Report it to TIGTA under http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml especially if you have become a victim (lost money, gave personal information etc.). You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint (include “IRS Telephone Scam" in your complaint). This way you can also help the government establish specific fraud patterns.

2) Help kill their phone lines but not by calling them back directly (the number may be spoofed and repeat calls by you may - under exceptional circumstances- amount to harassment). The scammers use Voice over IP lines (e.g. magicJack (Ymax corporation)) to make it seem as if they are calling from the US. This is always against these companys' terms of service and can lead to immediate termination of their contract and blocking of their IP addresses for future attempts to register. Do a reverse look up of their telephone number (e.g. www.whitepages.com) to identify the Voice over IP provider and report it to the company and/or law enforcement (local police and/or state attorney general)

3) If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction and provide US law enforcement agencies with the political backing and the resources they need to work in India and Pakistan together with local authorities (it can happen, read: http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ex-call-cen ... mmission-320427). A US task force has already been set up in Jamaica to nab scammers there (see http://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/library/reports/cornerstone/cornerstone7-1.pdf). You can use the following template for your letter (more powerful!) or email:

"Ricky Martin" huh.   Since when did you move from Mexico to India?  When's your next movie coming out?  Christ, what fools these shillers be!

I've received 3 calls from this Ricky Martin claiming to be with the Investigative Division of the IRS. The last time he told me that an Investigator was coming to arrest me in 45 minutes. He hung up on me when I told him BS and that I was going to turn the matter over to our local DA.

If you are Ricky Martin, then I am Richard Simmons. Nice try with the bogus post.

You must be related to Steve Martin.  That name has SHILL written all over it on the IRS scam too.  Thanks for playing!

In other words you are telling us the IRS website is fake!  How stupid are you???

These people called our home with a badge number saying we owed money to the IRS and would send police to arrest us if we don't pay over 5,000.00  We called our accountant and local police who said it was a scam. STAY AWAY!
