I just received a call from this guy very heavy indian accent.  Said I didn't pay my taxes and wrongfully filed my taxes!  He told me they would seize all of my property, credit cards etc.  and I will be arrested in the next hour!  Total SCAM.

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 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 targeted 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 recieved the 3 calls over 3 days from what sounded like an indian man claiming to be the IRS.He didnt say my last name,only my first in any of the messages,that had me suspitious while still nervous.He said he had a date scheduled for my investigation and dont try to avoid these calls.After some research we realized it was a scam.

Had a call from the same number, claiming to be "Officer Michael Clock"  from the Criminal Investigations of the IRS, and that there was a legal case filed against me.  Said I needed to talk to his superior, Sebastian Taylor, and to call back after 10-15 min.  I told him I'd take care of it after I called the police.  He replied that I could check with the police because this was for real, and I could check on the IRS web site!  What gall!!

Indian sounding guy left two messages yesterday and I happened to pick up today.  Identified himself as Officer Michael Clark from the IRS Criminal Investigations Department.  He wants my wife to call regarding a criminal investigation.  Must be a scam.  I know a real special agent and they go by ...Investigation Division, not department.  Sounded like he was calling from a boiler room full of scam artists, I guess they must sucker someone every minute.

I just got this call saying I owed over 4000 for tax fraud and I within the next 2 hours police and officers would be here to extradite me and who would be representing me.  Spooky.  Told him it sounded like a scam and he got offended by that.
