213-457-3672

Was threatened with legal enforcement.

threatened legal action with poor english and grammar and then to have "a blessed day"- GTH

Was told I didn't pay my taxes since 2011 and told there will be a warrant for my arrest. Had my parents' phone number and my address. Both male and female callers with Indian/British accents.

Caller from Caller ID 213-457-3672 left voice mail at 11:22 EST this morning.  In very broken English person said their name was Alex White calling from the Department of Legal Affairs and that he needed to speak to me or my legal representative immediately concerning pending legal action.  He left his phone number 213-457-3672 and ended the message with "Have a blessed day".

It happened to me too.  I should be a scam because the called who is woman with an Indian accent.  Having a hard time understanding.  The voicemail said that I need to contact immediately as there is a legal action started against me and she is calling from the Department of Legal Affairs and I need to have a lawyer.  She left her phone number 213-457-3672.  The problem is she didn't call on my phone but to my father-in-law's phone.

Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.

IRS does not file lawsuits.   Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter.  But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters.  90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively.  IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS has no powers of arrest.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  IRS does not cold call anyone and ask for money. IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case.  No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments.  Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but  usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement.    All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals.  All  contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

Message was from a U.S. Treasury Department of legal affairs.  I should call back or have my legal representative call.  I actually listened to their spiel...Said I should have received a letter from his boss a Brian King stating legal action has been taken against me.  DaviStated I could call his boss at 760-790-4001 (so I did, line did not even ring).  I notified police and was told there have been several calls in this area.  Third call I told the caller I believed it was a scam and not to call again.

The caller claimed to be from the US Treasury Department!

Caller had Indian accent said I had a law suit against me from the IRS.   Asked who my lawyer was. I told him I did not have any clue what he was talking about.  He tried to give me his supervisors name and phone #. I told him I was driving and could not write down the information. He became very beligerent and told me I was being recorded and if I didn't call his supervisor I could go to jail. I told him I would look into the matter and call them back. I then hung up. Ridiculous call. It has to be a scam!!!!

Same thing happened to me! I should be a scam because the called who is woman with an Indian accent. She said her name was Rachel Smith.  The voicemail said that I need to contact immediately as there is a legal action started against me and she is calling from the Department of Legal Affairs and I need to have a lawyer.  She left her phone number 213-457-3672.

I got this same exact call today....so it is all a scam right?

Did you read CWG40's answer?
If not, you probably would not read any further answers, such as this one.

Received same call. First of all, if there was legal action, you would get something in writing, not a phone call. I hope that people look up the number and realize so they don't get scammed. Especially the elderly. Sad!!

I received a phone call from this phone number stating I was notified by mail 3 times regarding an IRS tax problem with my 2012 return. I told the gentleman "David Cooper" I have not received any notification by mail. He insisted 3 notices where sent and that I have ignored them, the police will be coming to my home or work to arrest me due to me ignoring this matter and he will not send me any paper notices now and to retain an attorney. I choose to call the IRS directly to see if there is  a pending matter..
