415-234-9481

Who is this calling me is this a scam number for the internal revenue

Just now received a call. It was a recorded message, claiming they were from IRS.

Caller says urgent...officer Julie Smith from IRS. If you don't call back immediately they will take action!

Msg from female computer voice, american accent. Caller says it is the IRS. Time sensitive. Call back before they take legal action. Julie Smith. 415-234-9481

I just received a call this morning. Female recorded message saying she was Officer Julie Smith from the IRS and I should
contact her immediately. These calls need to be stopped. So many people would call back and give personal information to
this person and have their entire life ruined. It is a scam. Please do not call back.

Education is the key to getting these calls stopped. As long as these criminals are able to extort enough money from unsuspecting and unsophisticated people, they will continue.

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

Thankful for you information  help a lot

Got call.. Ignored tq

I just received the same message on my phone about 5 minutes ago.  Who can this be reported to?  She is  posing as an "officer" of the IRS.

My suggestion to everyone is to call the number 415.234.9481 and tell the a**hole that you were with his sister.  Just ask him how is she doing?  I just did that and he (he says his name is Jose, but we know he is an Indian a**hole) was so flustered that he goes "hhhmm mmmy sister is not there with you." The idiot was so busy trying to find out who I was that he didn't even realize what he was saying!  I think what we need to do is to harass these a**holes back just like they are doing to us.

11/06/14 @ 10:30 am computerized female voice (Julie Smith) left message that it was of the urgency to call and/or have my financial lawyer call.
11/06/14 @ 6:00pm I called back, and it was a heavily accented man claiming to be the IRS. He asked for my phone number and started the spiel (had the same type call, different number, months ago). I asked to speak to the supervisor. Then the guy says my name and starts telling me he wants "to l^ick my p^^^^y" and more so.
11/06/14 @ 9:00pm i get the same call into my home and he starts with the same type of comments.

Have received 2 calls today from Julie Smith 415-234-9481 stating she is with the IRS and I needed to contact her immediately before further action is taken. Thank you the scam information . I always read 800 notes before I call  back.anyone.  

I got the same recorded message as stated above. They keep calling but the 1-415-234-9481 number they are calling from is not the return number. Does anyone have the return number?

total scam just spent a few minutes telling them we are on to them

Who is calling from this number claiming as IRS and insisting to call back?  Should I call back?

Received phone message from this robotic voice Julie Smith saying from IRS. I called real IRS and they confirmed neither or my wife owed anything. This is scam. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION.
