2025068501

I got the same call.  I spoke to an accountant who said the IRS always sends a written communication and explains why you owe them money.  Disregard the call.

Thank you for information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I received calls today from 202-506-8501 claiming they are with the IRS and I must return the call or have my attorney return the call before legal allegations are brought against me.  I called the number back, and exactly what you sad :He said that the IRS had conducted an investigation against me, there is a discrepancy of the taxes I owe and that I will have criminal charges brought against me, including tax fraud and that I will be arrested tonight, that someone will be at my home with an officer to arrest me and that I will spend 6 months in jail if I do not pay the amount of the back taxes, he said was over $6k (which I owe the IRS nothing and my accountant can and has verified this w/me today).  The scammer said that if I do not pay this amount of money, plus legal fees and costs which amount to over $13k, that they will cease my personal property, etc.   They claimed to have sent me a certified letter to my former address (last year) which I did not respond to.  I told the person on the phone, that I owed no taxes, that I file my returns timely and pay my taxes timely; that my new address, since Oct 2013, was on my most recent tax return (filed in March of this year) and that I had received no notices from the IRS - NOTHING, no letters or cert. mail requests at my home nor has my accountant. He said it was my responsibility to notify the IRS of my new address via some form and said that I should just talk to the officer that will be at my home this evening to arrest me, he then hung up!  I emailed my accountant while on the phone with the "fake IRS Agent" and they assured me this is a scam to get my personal information and or a credit card to take money, etc. and to google the number and I will see the other stories about this.  My accountant also assured me that the IRS is aware of this scam, and that I should report it again to the local news, to the FTC and to the Treasury Inspector General at the IRS 800-366-4484.   If the fraudsters continue calling me, to ask them where to mail the check for the payment and that will help track these lowlife criminals down and arrest them.  They sounded official - they are very good, experienced scam artists - even though I know I owe no taxes and file my returns on time, use a reputable accounting firm, and knowing that the IRS would notify me and / or my accountant if they had any questions about my tax return(s), would audit me or something like that, these scam artists still scared me!!  The IRS is a powerful organization and with everything going on with them now, you never know!!!!  EACH OF US MUST REPORT THESE PEOPLE TO EVER

Same call my husband got tonight!  All is so familiar....Hada Grey "robovoice", called back and the guy with the Indian accent said everything as mentioned above...verbatim!  Creepy..and what ARE the Feds doing about it????  With all the technology we have today, cant they trace it?

Got the call yesterday from Hannah Grey from the IRS, same wording as already reported. I swear the first word in her message was b*tch. We just got our second call from the same number today.

same thing happened to me. got a message from a Heather Grey and then I called it back and he said they were coming to arrest me in the morning and hung up the phone i was freaking out and then came to my senses and googled the phone number and found all these posts !

thanks

indian accent, call center noises, IRS agent may I have your info...blah blah blah...

I got a message from a Hannah Grey indicating I should call 202/506-9364. I'm glad I checked here. I had first returned the call....today, on a Saturday!....and then came here hoping to find out it was a SCAM.

And I find it is.

I want to call that number back and tell her/them to go FU**themselves.

i get call from this number every other days. I know Irs never call.. why FBI doesn't do anything

Thx for the infor! I received 2 calls from 202-506-8501.

Also received two phone messages from "IRS" threatening suit unless I called back immediately.  Call back, and you get an answering machine asking for your participation in a servey.  Totally bogus.  We don't owe taxes.  Intimidating however to the more trusting among us.

Received 2 calls from these [***].  I called the number back (202-506-8501) and there was a recorded message about going to "magicjack.com" (computer phone service) to sign up and get this number, which is currently "unassigned".  I'm hoping that these people got caught and that the number is no longer active.  Definitely a SCAM.  I hope that nobody fell for it.

I received the same call, but she said she was Officer Heather Gray from the FBI.  I hung up the phone.  If the FBI wants me they can come and get me in person.

Called the number on a Sunday after my husband let me hear the message it was a magic jack number...don't believe our irs uses magic jack to call people. Crazy
