This call is supposed to be from the Irs and some hindo says the sherrif is coming for you if you don't pay a certain amount that you owe.    This is a fake and phony call according to the real I rs.     They do not call you on the phone so they say don't send any money to anyone!!!!!!     BEWARE!!!!!!!

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

The IRS does not initiate any legal action over the phone. Report it also to your local law enforcement agency. 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. Ultimately this is a case for the FBI legal attache in Islamabad or 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).

Said IRS claiming warrent out for us must pay $$ or be arrested SCAM !!

don't like the threatening, cryptic message left on my voicemail

got a message from what sounded like a computer-generated female voice saying "the very second you receive this.... contact officer hatta graves of the IRS at my hotline number 202-506-9967.... don't disregard this message... return call before we take legal "allegation" (sic).... good bye and take care."   LOL.

what dirtbags.

http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm, office of treasury inspector general for tax administration, calls this the "largest ever phone fraud scam" and gives instructions on how to report it, including an 800 number.

This is a scam

I just got the same exact message as you the past 2 days in a row. Though the name sounded more like "Heather Gray" to me, but it was hard to tell for sure because the voice is definitely computer generated and sounds kind of weird because of it. I especially found the "take care" at the end to be funny, since does not sound very IRS-y, especially after the threatening tone of the rest of the message.

I just received the same phone call and the same indian dude picked up the phone, only when I asked him for his badge number did he go ahead and give me one. I am going to call again and see if he will give me the same one... But he sounds lost... For sure this is a scam but I am going to play with him for a bit

We received this same message from the same phone number.  Thank you all for the scam heads-up.

Man, I love the Internet!

True, but   The internet also makes the scam possible and targets those (elderly and immigrants) that can least make use if it for their defense. Spread the news and write to Congress!!

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

they called again the next day from the same number.... same spiel

they called from this number saying we were going to be arrested and should hire a criminal lawyer  to bail  us out

When I asked why the IRS was calling from India, he hung up.  I'm shaking in my boots, "Robert."

Bogus IRS calll left a voicemail message.  When I called back, someone answered claiming to be the IRS's answering service.  Left a message asking them to call back.  Gave them the number of an IRS-Criminal Investigations Division special agent I know.  Should be an interesting conversation if they do call back tomorrow.

Remember that the IRS does not typically initiate contact by telephone.  And NEVER give out your SSN over the phone.

received a message stating urgent irs contact is needed. When I called this number back it went to a voice mail with a womans voicewho sounded as if she were from India. The number was202 5069967

Got the call same as above .stupid me I argued, should be googling  first.  I couldn't have wasted my time.all he said did not exist. So am beginning to suspect it was a scam, anyway I will be arrested in 2 days accdg to his gay with accent voice. When he got annoyed and hang up , I knew it was a scam

Also received this threatening scam allegedly from the IRS 202-506-9967

Recvd call from IRS (fake) with a robotic voice with a British/Indian accent threatening for me to call back otherwise they will initiate legal proceedings.  I filed a complaint on the National Do Not Call web site.
