Got one of these today too, said his name was John Black from the IRS.  Could not make out about half of what he said.  But what I could make out was to call this number or have my attorney call.

Got a call from Don Black.... Saying that some info on a tax papers need to be done and I need to get ahold of my attorney. I could barley understand the message.... Thought it was funny they think people would fall for their scam the IRS doesn't call people like that.

They called to say my name did not match my records. I told them to contact me through the mail and hung up.
He called back and left an "important message" that if i didn't call them back they would send agents to my home.
That's a long trip from India!

I received a call from David Cook from this same number. The IRS does not call anyone.

GOt a call today for my husband on my cell from this number.  Was UNAVAILABLE so I did not answer.  Left message - hard to understand with HEAVY accent but LISA says "not to disregard this message".  They are with the IRS.  Left this number.  RIGHT!

We just received 4 calls from this number, Indian accent, lots of back ground noise, took for attempts to make contact. Never would have answered call if our daughter didn't live in NY. He said he is for the Internal Revenue Service,  "Call Kevin Johnson, he is your Claims Rep. Call him in the morning, very urgent. ." I WILL NOT be calling!

"David Cook" with a thick Indian accent called from this number claiming I owed money to Irs. Definitely a scam. Aggressive voicemail was left for me- threatened that I needed lawyer to deal with time sensitive material.

Thank you for your information

I got the same message. Heavy Indian accent and I couldn't understand his name sounded like Dave Koo - maybe Daniel Clark!

thank you for your information.  received a telephone message from agency watson at 585-633-1814 and said to call number and it is important and good luck to you.

Same scammer, however her name was Lisa White, IRS blah blah blah... She even told me to have a nice day on the recording!..

t isn't that they don't care. As a matter of fact, they have come out with press releases warning people about this latest overseas extortion scam, which are being made by cold, calculated criminals operating in India. They are using VOIP to "spoof" numbers (including the IRS's name and legitimate phone number), to make it appear the calls are legitimate:

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

I just received a phone call from this phone number.  He said he name was Robert Wilson from the IRS.  I told him I was not home and called my accountant.  He left me his phone number and asked me to repeat it.  My accountant told me it was a scam.

Barely understandable heavy accent, claiming to be an IRS agent.  Total scam.  Do not ever call back on these types of calls.  They are hoping to find someone by random that actually owes taxes, and convince you that they are there to help, by charging you less than you really owe.  Of course, if you do pay, it won't go to the IRS, just to these SCAM artists.
