Glad you didn't fall for it - more info below:

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 tophishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

Just got the same call.  Automated call saying "Julie Smith with the Internal Revenue Service".  Area code is San Francisco area.  Probably spoofed number.  

Just got the same call. Robot call saying "this Julie Smith with the Internal Revenue Service and to call this number immediately."  Definitely a "scam."

I have received 3 separate calls today from this number - I work for Treasury, so I intend to report it tomorrow.

They keep calling and I would like it to stop

I just got a message and called them back for curiosity sake.  They "confirmed" they were from the IRS.  I asked if it was a scam and they replied "yes, it is a scam mother*ucker".  I think it is a scam.  

I just got the same message -thank you for posting now I know this is a scam!

I have received 2 calls from 415 234-9654 Julie Smith from IRS claiming I need to get an attorney!

Called said the was from the IRS and that I needed to call back immediately to pay a debt to the IRS. This was a scam call.

Fake IRS scam, reported to real IRS, San Fran, CA phone number. Crooks.

the call purported to be from the IRS

Called back number and left message including my SS #
do I have anything to worry about?

This number stated they are from the IRS and it is imperative to return the call to avoid legal action. It is a scam and any unsuspecting person could get caught up with this.

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.

automated Call said the was from the IRS and that I needed to call back immediately to pay a debt to the IRS

Got two calls today from Agent Julie at the IRS.

Just got the same call, did not answer but listened to the voicemail. It was a man with a foreign accent, said he was the IRS and wanted my name & case number. Told him I had no case number but I would like to have his name because I believed he was a scam artist. He said " F--k you" and that's when I hung up! The thing I find odd.....I could hear many voices in the background, indicating to me this was from a call center and this scam appears to a huge operation!

Got phone call today around 11:00 AM California time from the same number. Stating that her name is Julia Smith and she is a IRS officer and p call back immediately for hot matter,..etc. I picked up the phone but did not answer any thing.

I hope IRS or any Government agency track this number down and punish this woman  ASAP.
