Here it is again. IRS scam. Different number.

i think I almost just had a heart attack.  I knew nothing about this scam & this guy called (had an accent) telling me it's the IRS & my taxes had many discrepancies & there is now a warrant out for my arrest, I owe $3,867.  I start hyperventilating trying to ask questions then he cut me off & said, "what did I say about interrupting me?!?" I hung up, called my Mom, found out it's a scam. I have major health issues & this just instantly turned my stomach into a ball of pain.  What an evil person!!

Did say what company or for who the person call was for, just said to call that number of they where going to file court papers.

This number keeps calling stating he's with the IRS Taxology dept. And if I want to avoid court papers being filed I need to call immediately... GEEZ how stupid do these idiots think I am!!! I hope they are reading this.

Most of these calls are coming from India and Pakistan. I've only seen the IRS scam threads hit twice by scam shills. The odds are not in your favor at this point that they may be reading it.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   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 does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes.  IRS has no powers of arrest.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of  money.  IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone.   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.

This caller left a message at my ex-husband's home... he knew he didn't have any problems with the IRS so assumed it was for me - even though they didn't say exactly who the call was for!!!! Not recognizing the area code I looked on Google and found it is a scam. Like I don't have enough to worry about during the holidays... :-(
