Received automated call from this number - claimed to be IRS suing me.  Returned call and was told I needed to send money. I hung up and called my local IRS here in Utah and was told this was not correct - call was a fraud.  Filed complaint with the FCC - would recommend everyone do so https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us

Bogus IRS call today.  "Officially a final notice". Um, yeah...

Got 3 calls from this voice mail saying I owe money to the IRS it was my final notice biggest scam going on.  Call the IRS and file a complaint with the FCC so they can star doing stuff  these scammers will lie and say u going to jail the cops are coming same lies I hope people do not believe this u believe call your local police or the real IRS and u feel better  knowing u didn't gives these crooks no money.

Wow! Good for you and the BF to do such a quick trace. Thank you for the information. Of course these calls are all fraudulent but, unfortunately, they reach just enough gullible people to keep calling.

First thank you to all for researching this #.  Got the same type of call, robo message. In Phila. Pa  so they are getting around.

Same story. However, he never asked for money nor any other info.  He did have my name and address.  He told me that I owed IRS $3700 and IRS is going to arrest me in next two hours.  It is a courtesy call to let me know.  He was here to help me but would not provide me any information to resolve the issue.  After I told him that I never received any document in writing, he kept saying that they sent me snail mails three times in the past and I decided to ignore them.  Strangely, he never asked for money and did not hang up.

This is not the IRS this iS a big scam be safe than sorry they will tell u it is the final notice and soon u call the number they will read u fake charges and say u will go to jail the cops are coming to your house this a recorded line even pass the phone to some else acting like a officer do your home work on these scams.

There is no information to provide because there is no tax debt. Read on:

As TIGTA Continues To Warn On IRS Scams, New Treasury Scams Surface

Over the past two years, nearly 4,550 victims have collectively paid over $23 million to scammers posing as Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials. Since October 2013, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has received reports of roughly 736,000 contacts made to taxpayers demanding that they send them cash via prepaid debit cards.

J. Russell George, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, assured taxpayers that his office was actively pursuing those involved in the fraud, reassuring taxpayers, “We have made progress in our investigation of this scam, resulting in the successful prosecution of some individuals associated with it over the past year. This summer, a ringleader was sentenced to more than 14 years in federal prison. However, this is still a matter of high investigative priority, and we will not rest until all individuals associated with this fraud have been brought to justice.”

But even as TIGTA notes that it continues to receive reports of thousands those bogus calls every month, stories are circulating suggesting that the scam is widening. Scammers are changing tactics and making calls purporting to be directly from the U.S. Treasury. There are a few variations on this scam. In one version, scammers advise that an individual has been awarded a grant or a similar sum of money and in order to collect, the individual needs to provide personal information or a sum of money to “release” the funds. It sounds a little bit like those lottery scams making the rounds but the use of the name of the Office of the Treasury seems to make individuals believe that it’s more legitimate. It is not. TheTreasury advises that it does not have such a program. Further, the Treasury says:

Quote:
Recently we’ve found a twist on these scams, where the email, letter or phone call actually claims to be from the Treasury Inspector General, Eric M. Thorson. Some have convincing details about his career, appear to be on Treasury letterhead, and have links to email addresses such as ericthorson.oig@usa.com. These are frauds. Do not believe them, and do not respond to them. Please send them to OIGCounsel@oig.treas.gov; we will work to shut them down.

Another version of a Treasury scam involves a caller falsely representing that he is from Office of the Treasury and demanding payment or information (just like those bogus IRS calls). These callers have been described as threatening or abusive, and tell victims they need to make immediate payment to forestall arrest. Again, Treasury advises that these calls are frauds.

An even more sophisticated scam effort attempts to convince individuals to buy fraudulent promissory notes and/or private bonds. Some involve what are alleged to be Treasury issued or backed securities. Examples of those fake securities include “Limited Edition” Treasury Securities, One Year “Fresh Cut” Treasury bills; “U.S. Dollar Bonds”; Fraudulent “Federal Notes” or “Bonds” (also called “Morganthaus”); and “Defacto” Treasury Securities. To make it sound more legitimate, scammers may use routing numbers from Treasury bureaus, specifically the Financial Management Service (FMS) and the Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD), or a Federal Reserve bank, to make the false notes appear genuine. Don’t be fooled. If you hear these terms, be aware that they are all bogus securities.

Finally, those “redemption” or “acceptance for value” schemes are also completely fraudulent. In these schemes, scammers assert that the United States government has trust accounts linked to each citizen. Promoters tell potential victims that they can gain access to the funds – and discharge their debts – by issuing forms 1099-OID to their creditors. This scam is perpetually on the list of Dirty Dozen scams issued by IRS.

Be smart. There is no magical form or security that will make you rich. The government isn’t holding secret money in your name and no phone call, email or seminar can produce details that say otherwise.

Similarly, the IRS or Treasury won’t be calling you and asking you to provide personal financial information, including PINs and account numbers, over the phone.

Just googled IRS phone scams and so much came up on this SCAM.

It was my turn to get this scam IRS call today.

FRAUD-FRAUD!!
I used to mess with them when they called using a 202 number but I get really concerned that someone older and unsuspecting will be taken in by it. I am so ticked at the IRS too!
How is it that they can't stop this kind of crank call?
They are the federal government. With a capital F
The IRS will pull out every stop to find you if you owe money. They can track down your bank account but when thousands of Americans are being harassed on a regular basis they can't stop it! Really....

Warns that a lawsuit is being brought. Call their "Dept" number. It is a recording. Why can't we get to the people doing this?

Scammers and rude

Got the call from this number today - computerized voice saying this was the 'final call from IRS' and that we were getting sued by IRS!  Been hearing of such scams for too long to bother calling back - but decided to verify the number and here I am.  I am surprised the IRS can't shut down such sites/ numbers after so many folks have complained?!  I can just imagine the number of folks who might still be getting bullied into paying by such scamsters!

On a separate note, what is this 800notes.com website?! Seems odd that it does not reveal who are the promoters of this service and itself seems to be at the receiving end of lawsuits from other companies for publishing stuff perhaps of a questionable nature!

Not possible.  The callers are located in India and Pakistan and as such outside everybody's reach.  Local governments do nothing.  Call blocker might be of some help.  Also don't pick up on numbers you do not recognize, or where there are caller IDs that seem odd.  Or where there is no caller ID.  There’s  no way to stop the calls from being initiated.

Just stay on the line long enough and act concerned and they will tell you how, if you just wire them some money by untraceable means, they can make the whole problem go away.
