5712105561

Got a call from this d-bag today saying he was from the IRS. Tried to sound official with an American name and a badge number but the F'er couldn't speak English worth a [***]. I told this [***] to go F his camel and stop trying to scam smart Americans. He quickly hung up on me and when I redialed his number no answer, mm what a shocker.  Kick towlie to the curb if he calls your number.

same same I reported to irs

This Indian or Pakistani male named Jonathon Knight left a message and claimed to be calling from the IRS and needed to collect unpaid taxes.  His English was so bad, it left me laughing.  He needs an English stand-in.

He called me and I'm too young to even pay taxes

I also received a call from this number & a Johnathon Knight claiming to be an IRS agent & telling me that an audit uncovered Tax Fraud & I needed to call him back immediately because this was a time sensitive matter that  needed to be resolved.

Received the same message from same guy told me they found fraud on my tax return. Exactly as Holly's notice. Just deleted it from my phone.

From 571-210-5561...got several calls from this number, knew it was a scam, called them back to get their address and they cussed me out, reported this number to the IRS, and I can't figure out why the cops can't just trace this phone and go pick these guys up?

"I can't figure out why the cops can't just trace this phone and go pick these guys up?"

Because they cannot afford the airfare to India or Pakistan or another foreign country?

Don't be fooled by the caller ID. These scammers are using cheap VoIP services like Magic Jack to place hundreds of calls to the US and Canada from foreign countries to run their scams. Magic Jack does shut them down when notified but that is about all than can be done and they just buy another cheap account with a different number.

This guy called me once before Christmas and then twice today with the same spiel. This is a known scan and I reported it to the FBI formally. Not sure why it is so hard to stop these when there were numerous calls being made from the same number...lol

received a call from Jonathan Knight of the IRS - he was very hard to understand. - claimed that after audit and "disconnect" it was discovered I was hiding something  (couldn't understand him) from the IRS and accused me of fraud.  Extremely urgent to call him back at 571 210-5561.

same thing as above Jonathan knight Indian accent  voicemail new it was scam

Called early this morning, Feb. 24 at 8:16 a.m. same male with accent as described in other reports - claiming the IRS had found a violation we were hiding and we must call back immediately to rectify. So annoying and disruptive.

He use irs address 1111 consttution ave, washington dc, 2004
His 1 571 210 5561
I own $3000.00 tax...in 10 years, not pay I be arrest haaaaaa

Received the same call from Jonathan knight and also from Paul Nixon stating had arrest warrant out for me due to tax fraud.   Hung up on them but keep calling.  Reported to fcc and irs fraud  plus Illinois attorney general

Received similar phone call from the same guy, saying he was from the IRS

I received a call from 571-210-5561 that I let go to voicemail on January 24, 2015 at 10:03 AM CST.  The recording that was left said: “This is Jonathan Knight and I am calling from Federal Investigations Department of IRS. My badge number is 46719. The matter at the hand is extremely time sensitive and urgent and after audit we found that there was a fraud and misconduct on your taxes which you are hiding from the Federal Government so this needs to be rectified immediately so do return the call as soon as you receive the message.  Again, this is Jonathan Knight from the IRS.”
I immediately blocked this number as I know this is a fraudulent call as my spouse is high up in the IRS and she deals with these fraudulent morons all the time.  I hope nobody is fooled by these foreign accents calling from afar using VOIP through various easily acquired technologies.  As soon as “Jonathan Knight” is blocked enough and/or found out about, the fraudsters will just use the same list of phone numbers and spam us all back from a new number but probably with a new message under a new name.

These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US 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.

I've received the same call twice, Jonathan Knight from the IRS.  The reason I know it is a bogus call is because the guy is so stupid that he never leaves a phone number to call back.  The only reason I even know the number that he's calling from is because I got a new phone that shows it.  I'm pretty sure he won't be scamming me if he doesn't leave a number -- DUH!!

I received a call from (571)  210-5561. They left a strange message saying "This is Jonathan Knight of the Federal Investigation Department of the IRS, badge number 06719", a title that is immediately suspect, since, the IRS is the IRS and Federal Investigation is the FBI, and any accusations of misconduct I would suppose would only come from an IRS attorney in a court of law, and would suppose an IRS representative looking to shore up accounts would have the wisdom to simply say "there seems to be a discrepancy on your account, we need to talk about it."

I'm sure glad I typed into google what these idiots had to say.  For one, they didn't name me by name, and for two, they didn't even leave a call-back number.  Talk about amateur night, but it still had me wondering what could be the issue and saying "Who cares? They can't take away my birthday."  haha

When I called the number identified as the one the call came from, it goes straight to a disconnection sound: "BEEP BOOP BEEP, the number you have dialed has been disconnected."

Bunch of crooks; they're idiots to think a life of fooling others is worth the time just for a fast buck.

Called leaving similar message to above. Used the name Heidi from Hyatt hotel  then said it was Jonathan Knight. It would be interesting to know if there really was an agent named Jonathan Knight. I bet he would be upset at them using his name in vain  lol
