Just got another call, this time they left a message.  Could barely understand it, but when he said IRS, I knew it was this same scam number.  What a terrible accent he had.  "Take care."

jackasss's just called me , thanks for the posts and links . helps out alot

Have been receiving these calls numerous times a day, finally called back to see who it was. It was someone with a real heavy Indian accent that I could barley understand. Said I owed from miscalculated taxes in 2010 and 2011 and that they were going to get me for fraud take my assets and someone would be at my house in 2 hours to arrest me. This totally smells.

2 messages left from this number. Heavy Indian accent, couldn't understand much other than that I should call back immediately. Thanks to all the posts before this. Very reassuring and affirming of my hunch it was a scam.

Got a call today saying we owed money on overtime not reported, Indian accent and when he was asked that we wanted to a supervisor he put the call on hold for a minute then picked up the call again, same caller. Also sad not to leave the police were coming to arrest us.

I received the same calls lately. Not indonesian, but sounded african american. Let's shut them down instead of complaining to one another. Here's what to do from the IRS:

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 800-366-4484.

I received voice mail from someone that claimed to be IRS.   It was an automated message with bad grammar.  Knew it was suspicious and see below from other post others have received similar calls.  Will be reporting it to TIC and FTC.

I knew this was a scam when the robo voice 'IRS' told me to 'take care'.  I seriously doubt the IRS would ever really want you to, 'take care'.  As long as you pay your taxes, you're fine...that's all that matters to them !!!

got the fake IRS call, so I sent an email detailing message to DOJ with the number to call, so maybe the two will meet...they're both in DC.

My wife fielded a call from a Tom Park (202-506-8659) who didn't speak English well and said they were from IRS needing to talk with me about income taxes.  Also received an automated call over the weekend.

Did "Tom Park" mention to your wife, that he was riding through the streets of Calcutta, on a camel, as he spoke with her?

This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for this.

The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone. The scammers use voice over IP lines (e.g. magicjack (Ymax corporation). This is always against these companys' terms of use and can lead to termination of their contract. However only law enforcement can initiate the contact if you yourself are not a customer. Therefore, report it also to your local law enforcement agency. Ultimately this is a case for the FBI legal attache in Islamabad or New Delhi. 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 the NSA can finally be a force for good).

Dear Senator/Representative XXX

As your constituent, I am writing to urge you to demand decisive action from the FBI, the IRS and other federal agencies against organized crime directed against American citizens from abroad.

As widely reported by local and national media all across the United States and warned about by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (see http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm) a tidal wave of fraud using internet phones has hit the United States. Millions of dollars already have been stolen by criminals impersonating federal officers from the IRS while hiding in countries like India and Pakistan, where most of the calls originate. There seems to be no end of it in sight.

I have personally been targetted by these scammers but it is the most vulnerable among us that I am concerned about primarily. The scheme is specifically singling out those that can least defend themselves against these crimes, in particular the elderly. I am also worried that given the origin of these gangsters, the money stolen from US citizens may be used for financing of terrorism or other activities directed against the national interests of the United States. But in spite of this clear and present danger to our country and its citizens I have seen no action worth mentioning by the FBI, the IRS or other federal agencies so far.

As a member of Congress overseeing the law enforcement agencies tasked with fighting fraud and ensuring national security, I implore you to make sure that they act on these threats and are given all the necessary resources to target these criminals in cooperation with foreign law enforcement.

Yours sincerely

I also received a voicemail from this number with this text: “Heather Grey from Internal Revenue Service and the hotline to my division is 2025069864. I repeat it's 2025069864. Don't disregard this message and do return the call before we take any legal allegation against you. Goodbye and take care.”

I looked up online to find that there was a scam like this, since it seemed really strange to me that the IRS would call me out of the blue (no mail notices or anything). Just wanted to report the call.

I just got a call from them.. Didn't leave a voicemail so I called back and when he asked for my number i told him it was 976-gofuckyourself
Was told to go [***] myself and hung up. Such a scam but I like messing with them now

Don't think the number works anymore. I got a call earlier today and then called back 30 times after being told to go [***] myself and harassed them

This Scam has been ongoing for years and am still getting the calls despite the FBI and SCC being notified. They call up pretending to be the IRS and Ca;ller ID shows Washington .  They also threat legal action if you do not call.  The IRS does not work this way , they leave no name and also never say who the call is for. Ignore it and report it. These con artist will hurt people and its time to get serious about putting these criminals out of business no matter who they are.

Received a call saying the IRS was suing my Wife.  It was an Indian voice.

I got the IRS scam call from this number.  I'm located in Suffolk County, Long Island, NY.  Since so many people have reported it, can't any authority do something about it?

They're still trying to scam - threatening an IRS lawsuit.  I have blocked the number.
