5853868171

Pretending to be IRS enforcement. Fake. They try to scare you into paying $$$

this number calls at least twice a day..

Oh no :-( I must have messed up somewhere big! I can barely pay my phone bill and apparently the US Treasury Department wants to see me court! LOL! Trust me people, if any court wants to see you.... they will mail you, subpoena/summons you via the law and if they want you bad enough.... you would not know it until you were in handcuffs already! They will not call you and leave you a pre-recorded message. Please do not fall for this stuff! B.

I got the same call about Treasury Department after me

Contact you this is regarding an enforcement action by US treasury and tending your serious attention. to avoid initial appearance before magistrate judge or the grand jury for a federal criminal offense. our number is 585-386-8171. We advise you to cooperate with us and help us to help you. Our number is 585-386-8171"
I got this same message also  . When I returned the call they claimed they were an emergency room. I think there tactic with me is to call again from another number .  This is harassment I hope they can be stopped.

I got a call from this number and did not recognize, so ignored it.  Almost answered the County Morgue just to see what reaction I would get.

Just got same, with same drivel.  The stupid thing about this?  The IRS is so screwed up and under-staffed that they can't even begin to handle legit stuff.  They made a mistake on my disabled sister's taxes and trying to get them to fix it was a nightmare. It was finally done but it took a year.  They don't threaten via phone.  They send letters ad nauseum.

The same number has been calling my mother. I'm glad she called me first to have me look into it.

I just got the same threat! IRS calling , must pay them, or I will be in front of the U.S. treasury Magistrate (Judge)! The people talking on the phone sound like they are in a boiler room talking + all have a thick foreign accent... You can hardly understand any words they're saying. I laughed at them + told them this is a scam + I am going to report their number to our federal government! I only live off a social security check .... couldn't possible owe anything to anybody! I can hardly pay my own bills!

IRS scam that I need to appear before the grand magistrate and to call them ASAP. They did not know my name and it was a computer generated voice.

I just received  a call from this number. About 2years ago i wasted the better part of an afternoon talking to the IRS guy who said they had suspended my SS # due to suspicious activity related to finding my number at a drug scene. Called FBI after that, who said it was a common scam approach that i could just ignore. So i did.

I’m getting extended warranty scam robocalls from this number — they called 3x today and left one message.

They are people I thought I was getting a advertising job maybe it's real still waiting to see

maybe it's real

Seems unlikely after reading the various scam calls from this number over the years.

Guy called me from Angelica 585-386-8171 saying he's Jim Henson from Publisher's clearing house..hung up on him then the smooth brain guy called me back!

Scam! PCH doesn't call they show up on your doorstep.
Question: what is a "smooth brain guy"?

I think it's a Klingon reference

Quote:

smooth brain

Means "stupid". The consensus was the more wrinkles a brains had, the more intelligent a person/animal was, less meant dumber.
