I received a phone call about evading taxes and a threat that I might be arrested if I don't call back that number. Please shut down this caller!

I got the same call threatening to have me arrested b/c I have committed tax evasion & tax fraud. I feel sorry for elderly people or people who get scared and are not smart enough to not answer or call back. It is very unnerving these people can get away with this. The IRS on their site says Americans have been scammed out of $14 million THIS YEAR!!!

My caller id stated: ACCATEL which is a phone company. I have already fled a complaint with the FTC and IRS scam section: http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml

PLEASE REPORT THESE SCAMMERS!!!

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.

Ok this [***] called me repeatly today  officer miller and the guy in the background officer miller

Same thing.  Threatening call from a (filipino?) lady next a guy with an Indian accent.  I blocked the number we shall see if they get past that.  What crap.

Got the same call......left the message on home recorder.....am already on DNC(which seems to be worthless)

It won't do much good to report them to the LE..  most of these calls are coming from India and Pakistan! Hopefully they don't use someones real number in retribution or yours.

call threatening to have me arrested b/c I have committed tax evasion & tax fraud

Sounds just like Tokyo Rose,the WW2 [***] who would use the radio to [***] on American soldiers! The irony is that she was American too!  She's back and she wants to have all you bad people arrested for screwing with the I.R.S.

No one can do that.  They are located in India and Pakistan and ignore all US laws.  Invest in a call blocker and do not pick up on calls you do not recognize.
