4155061327

We just got a call from them.  I feel like calling them back and asking them a bunch of goofy questions, like, what are you wearing, how's the family, etc.  Might be fun.

Just received a call from "Julie Smith" from IRS...blah,blah,blah

I returned the call. Once I realized what was happening, the man on the line threatened to shoot me among many other things I can't list here.

Received call from same number at 10:00 this morning. My kids answered. Gave phone to me but call was ending all I could make out was IRS. Will call on Monday and report call to IRS.

I got the same exact call from "Julie Smith" 415 506 1327  Report it!   I was a victim of ID theft - So I think it's an inside job from the real IRS

Got a call from this number as well. Sounded like they were in another country. Accent was Caribbean. I'd love to call them back and say "I'm Gary Johnson from the IRS, may I speak with Julie Smith?" And see what happens.

I got this same message! What do I do?

Its a scam. Do nothing!!! Do not call back, do not speak to them. Block them if you have a blocking device or phone. See my post above and read it through. Report it to the real IRS as instructed.

DO NOT ANSWER!!! This is 100% a scam. I asked for information such as address to report them to the FTC and the man on the phone just started repeating absolutely perverted and obscene things to me so just hung up.  Please do not fall for this scam.

I just got a call on my home phone from 415-506-1327 from IRS officer "Julie Smith". It was a computerized recording and it said that the issue at hand was urgent and to call them back as soon as possible before they take action. Yeah, right!! I'm not stupid! If the IRS had any "issues" with me they would send it by mail! This has SCAM written ALL OVER IT and I will be REPORTING it to the proper authorities!!!

Got the call this morning.  Called back and got cussed out for questioning them.  After several calls and several verbal exchanges this a guy that said he was not a terrorist and his name was Khan, my calls started going to a voicemail box.  I left a few informative messages about how to run a successful criminal telephone business, i.e. answer the phone, as well as some instructions on how to properly prepare beef for dinner and what I think they do with sheep in Afgana - [***] - Indiastan.  Now the # says it is no longer in service.  Oh well, I was having a ball aggravating them, only left 20 or so messages.

IRS scam

This # has called me several times for two days now with similar voice mails, one stating I must return the call or action will be taken against me. Give me a break, definitely a scam.

They claim to be company called lending club

The say the I get e loan approval for 5000 but I got to give them 250 down payment for security

Nope - it's an advance fee loan scam.  It's illegal to have to pay money upfront in order to get a loan.  More information here:

Some red flags can tip you off to scam artists’ tricks. For example:

A lender who isn’t interested in your credit history. A lender may offer loans or credit cards for many purposes — for example, so you can start a business or consolidate your bills. But one who doesn’t care about your credit record should worry you. Ads that say “Bad credit? No problem” or “We don’t care about your past. You deserve a loan” or “Get money fast” or even “No hassle — guaranteed” often indicate a scam.

Banks and other legitimate lenders generally evaluate creditworthiness and confirm the information in an application before they grant firm offers of credit to anyone.

Fees that aren't disclosed clearly or prominently. Scam lenders may say you’ve been approved for a loan, then call or email demanding a fee before you can get the money. Any up-front fee that the lender wants to collect before granting the loan is a cue to walk away, especially if you’re told it’s for “insurance,” “processing,” or just “paperwork.”

Legitimate lenders often charge application, appraisal, or credit report fees. The differences? They disclose their fees clearly and prominently; they take their fees from the amount you borrow; and the fees usually are paid to the lender or broker after the loan is approved.

And if a lender says they won’t check your credit history, but wants your personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account number? Go somewhere else. They may use your information to debit your bank account to pay a fee they’re hiding.

A loan that is offered by phone. It is illegal for companies doing business by phone in the U.S. to promise you a loan or credit card and ask you to pay for it before they deliver.

A lender who uses a copy-cat or wanna-be name. Crooks give their companies names that sound like well-known or respected organizations and create websites that look professional. Some scam artists have pretended to be the Better Business Bureau, a major bank, or another reputable organization; some even produce forged paperwork or pay people to pretend to be references. Always get a company’s phone number from the phone book or directory assistance, and call to check they are who they say they are. Get a physical address, too: a company that advertises a PO Box as its address is one to check out with the appropriate authorities.

A lender who is not registered in your state. Lenders and loan brokers are required to register in the states where they do business. To check registration, call your state Attorney General’s office or your state’s Department of Banking or Financial Regulation. Checking registration does not guarantee that you will be happy with a lender, but it helps weed out the crooks.

A lender who asks you to wire money or pay an individual. Don’t make a payment for a loan or credit card directly to an individual; legitimate lenders don’t ask anyone to do that. In addition, don’t use a wire transfer service or send money orders for a loan. You have little recourse if there’s a problem with a wire transaction, and legitimate lenders don’t pressure their customers to wire money.

Finally, just because you’ve received a slick promotion, seen an ad for a loan or credit card in a prominent place in your neighborhood or in your newspaper, on television or on the Internet, or heard one on the radio, don’t assume it’s a good deal — or even legitimate. Scam artists work hard to make you think they're legitimate, so it’s really important to do your homework.

Dealing with Debt
If you have debt problems, try to solve them with your creditors as soon as you realize you won’t be able to make your payments. If you can’t resolve the problems yourself or you need help to do it, you may want to contact a credit counseling service. Nonprofit organizations in every state counsel and educate people and families on debt problems, budgeting, and using credit wisely. Often, these services are free or low-cost. Universities, military bases, credit unions, and housing authorities also may offer low- or no-cost credit counseling programs.
