415-234-9647

This number left voicemails saying from IRS. Advised not to ignore message and call back immediately. I had to call 3 times to get someone I could understand however I did pick up they were saying I had a large outstanding debt with the IRS. I do not have any outstanding debt issues with the IRS. On the third call the man answering stated he was a supervisor and when I asked him to identify himself and his organization he hung up on me. I have reported this to my phone carrier.

There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers on both Canadian and USA residents.
USA tax payers should read this:

Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.

I got several calls from this number and another number stating they are the IRS. I don't have any problems with the IRS. Th IRS would never call and leave a message and I got several calls today whic is Saturday,the I R S is not in on weekends. These calls came from DC and San Francisco.

Four calls so far today. Claiming they were from the IRS. I have no problems and knew it was a scam. I just want them to stop calling. The IRS does not call. They send mail.

Thanks a lot for your review. It helped me to ignore this call. They called me too and left a message. It worried me, but now I realize it's a scam.

Oops.. sorry I meant this message to the other review

Thanks a lot for your review. It helped me to ignore this call. They called me too and left a message. It worried me, but now I realize it's a scam.

Had a message on my home phone stating IRS called said it was extremely time sensitive and gave a number to call - 415-234-9647

let them tell you all the information and the address then after the read the script they will ask if you have any questions. Make sure you tell them your line is recorded and you are a lawyer and the phone call has been traced and is not located in the United States. When they try to repeat themselves tell them the phone call is being forwarded to the IRS and The FBI. They normally will hang up and not call you for a long time

Got a call from that number, stated it is from one "Julie Smith" and in a computer tone informed me not to ignore and call back as this is last warning from IRS.
Did not call back - realized it is a scam.

Got the same call 3 times today already. From Julie Smith did lots of looking online for the number and her name and it is all the same answer SCAM. If you search her name it also comes up in the scam reports. The calls started at 830am ET/530am PT. I'm not thinking the IRS in Cali is calling people at 530am. While searching online I also found a news report from Florida were they had an out break of these calls so a local station got involved as well. Number that called me was 415-234-9647, seems they have targets the state of PA now.

First they said they were an attorney Julie Smith and I better not ignore this call it is time sensitive about IRS and threatened further action if there no response and have a nice day.

Julie Smith called and stated she was an IRS officer.  SCAM Scam SCAM.     I worked for the IRS as a criminal investigator for years..............DUMB DUMB AND  DUMB

they kept calling when I wasn't home so when I got home I called them back they told me I was going to be arrested ! I responded that I turned them in for phone scamming the guy Officer "Luis Smith" called me a cheap chicken [***]!!! really!

This is a scam! Don't fall for it.

YOU OWE 4600 DOLLARS IN TAXES.   GO TO YOUR BANK AND WITHDRAW THE MONEY.  TAKE THE MONEY TO THE SUPERMARKET AND BUY A (XXXXX) VOUCHER.  STAY ON THE CELL PHONE WITH US THE WHOLE TIME.     ENLIST THE SERVICES OF A CRIMINAL LAWYER.   THE AUTHORITIES WILL BE AT YOUR HOME IN 90 MINUTES TO ARREST YOU IF YOU DON'T PURCHASE THE VOUCHER.

I also got a call from this number.  They said I owed the IRS $6000 and if I did not pay it, I would be arrested.  She asked if I wanted to resolve it. She gave me another phone number and she said she was the resolution dept.  I asked for her name and she hung up.  This is a scam.

I received a call from this number. I called them back and at first they called asking for my Father, who hadn't lived here for over five years.

Then they called again, and said the call was for me. The same guy kept hanging up the phone on me several times before. He said he was in a meeting and this was the first time, he had answered the phone. Stated I owed $4965 in back taxes, said I was going to be arrested. I told him to arrest me because I didn't owe any money.

When I called back and asked who I was talking with, he became a smart [***] and said my name. When I said I called the IRS about any outstanding taxes, they said there was none, he hung up the phone.

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!! Do not give out personal information.

Left a message that it was the IRS; do not ignore this phone call -- it is time sensitive.  On THANKSGIVING DAY!!
The people who do this are such scumbags .... get a real job a --- holes

Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 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.
