Recieved a call from Scott Williams who stated the very second I got the call I need to call them back or my attorney better call back.  Not to take the call litely and if he didn't hear back from me all he could say was "Wish me good luck as the situation unfolded" then the call ended.

warning sign;   1. thick Indian accent with the name of Scott Williams, 2. stumble through the script he was reading, 3. wish me good luck as the situation unfolded.....

If the IRS calls there going to have an id number and sound a little more professional

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

The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone. Report it also to your local law enforcement agency. The scammers use voice over IP lines (e.g. magicjack (Ymax corporation)). This is 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 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).

I also receives the same message telling me to get back to James Smith he work for IRS Criminal dept that im going to go to jail on Monday for 3 years but he never said why is a person than have a very strong accent like indian o I don't know from where . I'm glad to found this page I see that this was an scam something that I think from the beginning because I never get any notice from IRS .

Got several calls from 202-800-7731 so I finally decided to answer it, I usually ignore unknown numbers, and of course a very thick Indian accented man wanted my information.  I asked him why and he gave me the same number he was calling from and told me to ask for Alex Somebodyorother.. I guess a lot of people don't know that it's against the law for a debt collector to call on the phone and harass you.

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

Same thing HEAVY accent and mispronounced a very simple american name. Also VERY rude when asked a few questions. Scam scam scam. Don't worry just call the REAL IRS and ask them, they don't have middle eastern [***]'s dialing people! Get a life you stupid scam artists!

Sorry but I have a hard time believing that person with a thick India accent would be named Justin Smith  - The IRS is coming after us all and they are bringing the Indian Army

I received the same message/threat from a woman with a heavy accent stating to call her back immediatly or all she could do is wish me luck as the situation fell at me.  This is a scam.  I've received several messages from them over the last few months.  I do not owe the IRS and this is a scam.  I have already reported it on the FBI & do not call list and plan to file it with the IRS as well.  I wouldn't talk to them & will not answer their calls.  The IRS will send letters to your home and will not call and threaten you.  THIS IS A SCAM!!!

Caller stated she was from the IRS legal department very poor english and very heavy accent made threats if I did not my lawyer I will have big troubles.

I got the same call from a so called female with a deep voice a strong accent telling me they are from the IRS and for me to call them back right away or my attorney. I was almost believing it until I read all of these post plus the guy from the IRS was very polite about real business at hand. I know this is a scam cause the IRS don't work like this they are very professional. If you are in doubt just call this number 816-325-8444

I have been receiving several phone calls from a MIchele Palmer and an Alex stating they are from the IRS legal department they leave a message on my machine using my name telling me not to disregard this message and that it is time sensative and that my attorney should call. I called them back and was told I would be arrested and was verbally abused. I called my lawyer and she found this site. so I am contributing Please go to www.tigta.gov to report irs scams it is the US Government Treasury Web Site to report scam. There is more we can do than just post here. Also you can call your Congressman at the local level I did and they took they information and said they had head from others reporting the same thing and had someone looking into it.

i just got another call from 202-800-7731. This is a scam. FYI the IRS does not make collection calls. Please do not give these people your money. Go to the IRS website there is a fraud alert on the site.

They can't do anything because the scammers are located in India and beyond the reach of US law.  Call blocker is your best bet.
