415-234-9863

Just received call. Have answering machine turned off and have blocked all future with my call blocker. I check all numbers out that I don't recognize on this site before even attempting to answer this phone.

I received a message from a woman telling me not to ignore this call and to call back. And that I could face charges if I did not call back. She also said thank you and take care.   When I called the number someone answered saying he was a Sergent with the IRS, foreign accent. I asked him why they called me. He hung up.

They call from India or Pakistan and spoof local numbers.

She said her name was Julie Smith of the IRS and that I have to call her! No thank you.

I received a Julie Smith call.  couldn't understand her and asked her to repeat her issue with my business.  She hung up.  I called several times back and she kept hanging up.  At that point I knew it was a scam.  After 10 calls back for fun, another guy from pakistan picked up.  He threatened my business and said i would have criminal action due to my not paying government.  Hang up on these people.  They are scam artists.  

I got a call from this number also claiming to be the IRS. I'm a tax preparer so I knew to not be worried, it's fake. If you're in trouble with the IRS, they'll send you a letter first!

I have received many calls from this number identifying themselves as being the IRS.
How do I discontinue these calls

Your best bet is to invest in a call blocker. Since these criminals spoof numbers from many area codes, you can purchase one which allows you to block thousands at once.

This is (one of many) criminal extortion scams that have exploded over the past decade correlating with advances in technology, which makes it easy for criminals to scare people into thinking something terrible will happen to them if they don't cave in to their demands. The IRS has been well aware of this scam for well over a year, but because the calls are originating in overseas boiler rooms with the criminals using computers to alter their identities and locations, they are next to impossible to trace. Making matters worse is the fact they are operating out of reach of US law enforcement and in apathetic and corrupt countries who could basically care less what these people do to us. The next time they call, let them know you are aware they are running an extortion scam, have no intention of paying them anything and have alerted law enforcement.

If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.
It's a phone scam.In fact, it tops the IRS "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams this year, and it's been surging in recent months, the agency said Thursday.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, has received reports of 290,000 scam calls since October 2013 and said nearly 3,000 victims have been swindled out of $14 million so far.

By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.

Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.

They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.

Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.

The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.

If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.

Yep got the VMS from Anne replied and got " Senior Agent". He asked for social and I told him if he was IRS he would already know that info.  I suggested unnatural acts with his mother and hung up.

I called it back and it went straight to a voicemail with no name

They keep calling... once they left a message saying they were the IRS and the rest say "don't disregard this message because we may take action against you" Sounds like a scam to me.  All the other posts are saying the same

They keep calling and say I owe the IRS and they want to help before I'm arrested! I tell them
the IRS has not contacted me and I am paid up and always do my taxes and pay them! Not
like so many in our government, how do they get away with it? Us poor people keep this country
going because we are the only honest people left!

Its a Fraud.... Report to,
