415-742-7581

Received call from 415-742-7581 California, today at 8:30amEST. Didn't answer my phone I just knew it was another scammer! Voicemail left was from Julie Smith "IRS" directing me or my legal rep. to call back immediately to the hotline, repeated number twice 415-742-7581 before they take legal action against me...do these scammers never give up!!!Reported the same message from Julie Smith with a different California number yesterday to the REAL IRS!!!

Got a signal for a text message around 10:30 am, 01/30/2015.  Went to see what it was.  My phone did not ring.  Creepy woman's voice say the same thing as the one above.  Don't think I have any problems with the IRS.  DO NOT want to call this back!  

Got a call from 415-742-7581 just now.  Didn't answer and received a voice message from a Julie Smith instructing an immediate call back before action is taken against.  EVERYONE please know the IRS does NOT work this way.  Don't let them scam you or money.

Got a call  from that same number, Julie Smith left that same mesagge. I called back but didnt give any info other than my name and last name. Can they do anithing to scan me with just that info?

Yea, same info as above.  Received at 9:00 est.  IRS does not call you personally like is, definitely a scam!  Block the number!

Got the message on my phone and I did call.....they are ruthless.....and ignorant..I hung up on him....total SCAM! !

Same as above...another B.S. solicitor...

Scam Automated Message : does not state the name they are calling for & says "Take Care" at the end. IRS would never do that.

The scammer left a message;

"Handed extremely time sensitive. Officer Julie Smith from Internal Revenue Service and the hotline to my division is 415-742-7581. I repeat it's 415-742-7581. Don't disregard this message and do return the call before we take any action against you. Goodbye and take care."

Just received the same exact phone call.  I didn't answer the phone but she left a voicemail.  She said she was Julie Smith and it was "broken English" when she spoke.  She said she was from the Internal Revenue Service and she said to not disregard this message and to "take care".  It is a definite scam!! BEWARE!!

Got the call from robot Julie Smith. I do not know how they randomly picked my number but I hope they lose it.

Same as some of the others. Julie Smith from IRS. Call back before further legal action is taken.

Tax identity theft is the theme of the week, but it’s not the only tax scam we’re talking about. Complaints to the FTC about IRS imposter scams have shot up over the last year — by almost 50,000 complaints.

Here’s what happens: You get a call from a scammer pretending to be with the IRS, saying you’ll be arrested if you don’t pay taxes you owe right now. You’re told to wire it or put it on a prepaid debit card. They might threaten to deport you or say you’ll lose your driver’s license. Some even know your Social Security number, and they fake caller ID so you think it really is the IRS calling.

But it’s all a lie. If you send the money, it’s gone.

When you have a tax problem, the IRS will first contact you by mail. The IRS won’t ask you to wire money, pay with a prepaid debit card, or share your credit card information over the phone.

If you get a call like this, file a complaint with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at tigta.gov. You also can file a complaint with the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint. If you’re concerned there’s a real problem, call the IRS directly at 800-829-1040.

*** THIS IS A SCAM...DO NOT CALL BACK... ***
I received the same call by voicemail today...
I called the REAL IRS and reported the info. I was advised that this is another scam that pops up around tax time...
Please be careful.

These people are scammers ripping people off. They try to get me for $5000.00 , they say I owed this money to the IRS and would have me arrested if I did not pay this amount. I hope some little old lady doesn't get plaster and pay these scum for what they are doing. Is there anyway police can arrest this bustards?

this people called me this morning posing as IRS,

got acall from this number at 9:36 this morning, which means 6:30am Pacific time.  IRS doesnt call people at that hour.  message was so blurry i could hardly understand what they said.  only understood after i entered # in Google & found this website.  dann scammers...

*FRAUD CALLER* around 9:00am this morning, I got a muffled computer voice message from a women as stated exactly below:
"An officer Jean Smith from the Internal Revenue Service and the hotline to the division of 414-742-7581, I'll repeat it's 415-742-7581. Don't disregard this message and be/you return a call before we take any action against you. Goodbye and take care."

Problem is this is spam. Too bad the phone service provider can't shut them down!!

They using Magic Jack or another VoIP service from overseas. You can report the scam attempt to the real IRS here:
