IRS scam

Robo voice says it's the IRS and you must call this number before they take action.  SCAM

Thanks for your posts folks, though it sounded shady you can't help but wonder.

There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers in both Canada and the USA.
USA tax payers should read this:

Scary phone call...says its the IRS

For  all you know it could be IRS. Did anyone contribute to tea party?

Its a scam coming out of India..  Not the real IRS!

Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.

Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.

Phone scam

Very scary phone call. I was told I could be arrested, bad credit rating, lose my driver license, to mention some of the treats, if I did not pay $6,200. Reported to the police. Police told me that many "Seniors" are getting these kind of phone calls. Since I am 71 I qualified!

Received the same call

scary phone call!!

They left a message saying that they were the IRS and there was a time-sensitive problem and we, or our lawyer, needed to call back.  I looked the number up and saw there were complaints about it and did not call back.

I got a call and when I tried to return it, I was amazingly my number went unanswered...

Just received a scary phone call. I was told I would be arrested, bad credit rating, lose my driver license, etc, if I did not pay $6,200.  If unable to pay within 1 day, the amount would be $15,000.

Have received several calls saying it is IRS officer must call back or face legal action...Scam

Robo message from Heather Grey at IRS stating I had an issue and must call back asap to avoid legal action.  Called back and Heather was not in, but her supervisor, "Frank Martin," who had such a heavy Indian accent that I could barely understand him, said he could help me.  I asked him who he worked for, and he said IRS in Washington.  All the while I am hearing noisy Indians in the background working switchboards.  I said, "Listen, "Raji," there's no way you work for the IRS."  And, "You are a special kind of stupid, aren't you, Raji."  And he hung up on me.

Caller left robo message asking to call back 202 506 9689 - or else faced legal issue. Called number "frank" with pure Indian accent picked phone. Sounded like a typical call center. He asked for my number - and I asked him for his identity - failing to identify himself he hung up- he did not have a called ID

Got call from this number pretending to be IRS officer. Just know that IRS would never initiate any contact with a telephone , they would rather send you a certified mail first.

Just received the same robo-call from "Officer Heather Grey" from the IRS.  Number was 202-506-9689.  It only shows Ymax Communications from Washington DC., when you google it.  Same message regarding an "extremely time-sensitive" issue and "don't disregard this message."  Just note, an IRS agent never gives out their first name, and would never end the conversation with "good-bye and take care."  Be warned and report the call as a scam.

I just got a call on this number too and when I called them back. They said from IRS. I believe it's a scam.
