202-506-9763

Got a call at 7:10 am and they left a message, which was almost in audible,  except for they were the IRS and I should call them immediately to prevent legal charges.  Yikes!

I am getting several calls

Got a call and talked to an Indian sounding woman who gave her name as Rosie Williams, badge #: 19285. When I told her I will contact my local IRS office, she hung up.

got a call from them this morning and they told me that the IRS has attempted to call me a few times.  they said I was over paid and if didn't settle today the police would be at my door within 30 min to arrest me.  I started laughing and the woman told me that I shouldn't be laughing and this was a serious matter.  then I hung up.  the first time I tried to call back the number, the woman simply said hello and I said I got a call from this number and she hung up.  I called back again and then she answered saying IRS.  I feel sorry for the people who actually feel scared and give them info.  if you are reading this post please pass it on to all of your family and friends! one of the most alarming things is that she actually knew my name.

what a scam she wanted my social security and a credit card number to take care of the lingering matter. She sounded like the people that answer the phone when i call ATT or bank of america.
205-506-9763 report them to your local irs office and attorney general.

I got call too and she has Indian accent/ voice and  left a voice message, stating that from IRS and I should have to call back immediately. The next day I call and she answered " IRS office" I asked her name and ID , she reply as Rosie or Suzie and some numbers for her ID, I ask her if she is from local office, she reply that from Seattle office. I ask why she call me, she reply we send you a document about two Months ago and you did not respond as needed, now  police will arrest you and you will be in court. She threatening as if there is many complain against me. It is better to be conscious for such fraud call and not to provide personal information.

Like wise, caller claims to be IRS REP and I should call the number immediately to avoid arrest and confiscating my properties

This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.

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. 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:

The first time I was contacted, they tried to get my social security number. The following day, "Officer Steve Smith"called and said IRS agent "Rosie Williams" needed to contact. She said I owe $1482 in taxes. If I don't pay in cash, then I will be taken to court. I told them I'd contact my tax accountant and hung up. She called back and stated if I don't pay now, then a police officer will show up at my doorstep and arrest me.  So I asked how I was supposed to pay. She told me to go to the nearest CVS or 7/11. She told me to buy a tax voucher and call her at (202)5069763 and she'd give me instructions on how to pay. I said I'd rather contact my tax accountant and hung up. She called right back and said what happened. I repeated that I'd contact my tax accountant. She said if you hang up again, then the police were coming. I told her "Great, I know the police officers here...they're good friends of mine."

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.
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 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

They  call very often and say officer (some name)....from IRS and there are legal charges against me.

Threatening call from the IRS purportedly! Total scam!

Got a call at 2:15pm and they left a message, which was almost in audible,  except for they were the IRS and I should call them immediately to prevent legal charges.
