800-829-3676

says their the IRS Payment center I've been making payments ,but i don't know if this is the real IRS company and I also received another letter i n the mail with another number 1800-829-0922 they want me to make a payment but i don't know who is the real IRS. trying to make me pay $114.00 on the 3rd of every month. and the original date was to be every 20th of every month $57.00's bi weekly.

Laverne, please don't send them any money. I spoke to a IRS employee who prepares income taxes about this phone #. She said that it is not a real IRS phone number. The prefix 829 is one that the IRS uses, but the phone # 800-829-3676 is not a legitimate #. She said that people come up with scams during tax time. Go to your local IRS dept & ask them.

An individual approached me to tell me that the government is giving everyone money because the owe us. The person said that we would receive $500 for 2011 & 2012. The phone # given to me was 800-829-3676. I was told to call the number to order form #797. I didn't pass this information on to anybody because it sounded too good to be true & I wanted to make sure it was legitimate.  I saw that person a few days later & while she was talking about a friend who received her money the day before, the person mentioned that when they received their money last year it was used to pay bills, etc. I asked, "If you received a check last year, does that mean you need to fill out two forms for 2011 & 2012?" The answer was, "Yes, you probably will need two forms." That's not what was said initially, which sent up another red flag. Then that person said that even children can receive the money, which really made me suspicious. After filling out the form & sending it back, the recipients would have had all my pertinent information & would have been able to commit identity theft.

THIS IS A SCAM....BEWARE OF THESE CROOKS!

Caller initiated contact originally from another number, 202-506-9084.  Questioned whether I had a lawyer and told me that I needed one because a warrant had been issued for my arrest.  I knew there was not reason one would be so asked whey.  At that time, he said because I owed over $2900 in back taxes to the IRS for 2009 and 2010.  I stated that there must be an error because I didn't owe and had always filed and paid on time.  Caller asked to place me on hold to consult with his supervisor and when he returned, said since I had no knowledge of the debt, if I paid it immediately, they would stop the police from coming to my house.  I was told that once I was off the phone and the paperwork was filed, there was nothing that could be done to stop the arrest.

I knew this had to be a scam, but it still was quite alarming to have somebody talk to me and threaten me.  I informed the caller I was suspicious and would not pay him, but I would call the IRS directly to work with them, not somebody who called me.  I told him if it were the IRS, why wouldn't they use my business phone number, not my mobile number which I never gave out to anybody.  He was smooth, had an answer to everything but the more he pushed, the more suspicious I became.  He told me to go ahead an check, then hung up.  Then he called me back from this 800- number and insisted that since I didn't believe him, I should Google the number.  GREAT IDEA and I did, only while he waited I Googled the first number.  Then I read him the fraud warnings.  He made one final attempt to intimidate me, asked if I was refusing to pay, then told me the police were on their way with a warrant and hung up.

I was surprised when I contacted local authorities to learn that there is no law in Texas against these callers.  I would think impersonating a government official for the purpose of fraud would be a crime.  IT SHOULD BE!!!

Received a letter that said it was from the IRS and it. gave this telephone number to call for inquiries. In the letter it also had a payment stub to send along with a payment. The return address was a Fresno, CA address.

I got a call from this number and it said IRS I owe 4000 and in tax fraud anf will be arrested today im scared is this a leget number

i received a voicemail from 1-571-271-0291, an Indian man stating he was from the IRS.  I usually don't call these numbers back but for some reason i did this time.  When he answered he asked what state i was from then hung up.  I called back and asked him who he was and he started laughing and saying he loved me.  I told him i would report him and that he was sick and i cant believe he enjoys doing that.  anyway.  i called the IRS to report the original 571-271-0291 number as well as the 800-829-3676 numbe rthat appeared on my phone after the 571 number disappeared.

the phone company that provides service to this number is coretel virginia llc.

dont answer either number and if the IRS always tells you a identification/badge number when you talk to them.

My call and voice message came from area code 646... out of New York. the message was that there is a lawsuit pending and for me to call. As I did, an Indian man stating his name is Officer Sean Davis with the IRS. He told me that I had been audited for the tax period  of 2008 -2013 and that I owe taxes in the amount of $7829.00. I panicked. He then went on the give me three options to resolve this issue by going to my bank and make a cash deposit. if I refused, I was going to be arrested in the next 45mins. The other number he had me call was 800-829-3676. These people are crazy and they need to be stopped. The IRS will only correspond via mail.

received a letter stating i might be eligible for earned income credit.

This exact thing happened to me today, and that too he was extremely rude, like he was trying to prove that he was indeed calling from the IRS and that I was a criminal. What's more, Sean Davis even gave me his "Identification Number": C61901471. When I raised my doubts about his legitimacy, he gave me the 800-829-3676 number and told me to call it, and that it was indeed the IRS's toll free number. I immediately searched for the IRS toll free number on their website, and it wasn't this. While I had him on the line, I googled the 800-829-3676 number and came upon this page. When I told him that they were frauds, he started threatening me about sending the cops over in 10 min, and confiscating my car and arresting me. I asked him to go ahead and do just that. Within minutes, I got a call from a local number from my city and when I answered, a man sounding suspiciously like the same Indian guy said he was "Officer" somebody from my city's police dept. I immediately hung up and called back that same number. What was the creepiest part was that it was indeed the Police Department's number, and the cop who answered didn't sound anything like the "Officer" who called me. I told him that I may be a victim of a scam/fraud by someone using the IRS name, and that they were threatening to send the cops at my doorstep in 10 min. The cop told me they had no reports of my name or address, or that no one had called me from there. He advised me that I was indeed the victim of a scam, and not to answer any such calls or give out any information.. Looks like these guys are emulating phone numbers too, so scary. The number that they initially used to call me was 646-630-9984. Beware..

Recieved a letter stating to call #800-829-3676 for an IRS issue.  Glad I googled it, letter looked legit containing this number.  Scammers are using IRS looking letters now.  Have also gotten phone calls from Buffalo NY stating  the IRS was going to sue us.  Please be aware!

This is a scam!

I received what looked like a very real audit letter from the IRS, except that they were requesting $21,000, which is an extremely large sum of money given my tax bracket. There was a packet of papers that even showed some of my financial information, making it seem believable. It included a real IRS phone number as well as this phone number: 1-800-829-3676. Thankfully, I Googled this number and found this article. [***] these scammers... terrible people.

I received a call initially from 917-793-0482 and it was an automated message stating that there was a lawsuit against me by the IRS and to call 929-214-1330. Now knowing that I had not done anything wrong, I decided to call anyway. When I called the number, an indian male answered and had no information but indicated that he would look me up and see who called me, I did give my name  but he could not spell it nor anything so therefore I knew something was up. He then came back asked if I were in Illinois, I stated yes and he said, what is the zip code, so then Im thinking, they should have all of this information. Shortly thereafter, he stated, that he was William Blake IRS badge number IRM90318 and that my case was transferred over from the IRS because I was being sued for tax fraud due to non payment, He advised that I owed $1950.00 and they were trying to get me to settle out of court because the IRS was coming against me and my assets. Firstly i'm thinking, yeah right because I always pay my taxes and get my refunds. Then he states that it is due to miscalculations and that I may not have done anything wrong but the IRS needs to collect their money. I advised that I don't owe anything and if I do, I never received anything in the mail advising of this, He advised that I received letters sent on 9/16/16 and 10/25/16, I stated that I had not, he got aggressive and stated that yes I had because they have very heavy proof showing that I received the mail and that they are recording the call and this can be used in court. I advised that I did not feel as I was being treated or talked to fairly because he kept insinuating that I was a criminal. I told him that I would go and speak to someone in the local office, he advised that I if I paid now that he could send my record of release and set me up an appointment with the local IRS office right now to prevent legal action. He kept advising me to not hang up the call or he would freeze all of my accounts within the next 45 minutes and they will send the police to my job to lock me up for up to 72 hours. At this point I became frustrated and advised that they will have to do what it is that they had to do because I have to return to work and will not be giving money for something that I can not verify. He kept trying to offer me lower down payments and asking when did I get paid and how much would my check be, He even went as far as to ask me how much I had saved in my savings and checking accounts and to "NOT LIE" because they can retrieve the information to see if I am lying and then I would be charged. I advised that I  did not feel comfortable, he advised that I could call the 800-829-3676 number and to not let the call disconnect while I did it. I continued to say that I will call the IRS directly, he advised that I could call 800-829-1040 and speak with customer service and that he would call me back. Disconnected the call and never heard from him again. I guess he figured that I had figured him out at this point. These people are nuts!

214-617-9008 called with the robo voicemail on 1/31/2017.  Called back and a man with a heavy Indian accent and very slow, almost sleepy cadence of speech, answered, sounded like a call center, a lot of activity in the background.  He introduced himself as William Black (first red flag, not many Indians with the surname of Black (I'm Indian).  Gave a badge number IRM90318.  Droned on about a bunch of lawsuits coming my way for tax fraud, threw out a bunch of codes and legal terms.  Said I owed about $2,000 and that police would be out to arrest me in 4 to 45 minutes.  Apparently, I was sent mail about the outstanding balance.  Asked if it was registered mail, he said yes and that family signed off for it...  Yeah right.  I asked for his address and according to google maps, was a made up place.  Of course he offered me a chance to come clean and pay the balance.  By this time I figured out this was a scam and decided to have some fun with the idiot.  He told me to leave work, sit in my car, and roll the windows up and if anyone asks, to tell them I'm having a personal emergency.  He was adamant I not hang up.  I told him I was playing angry birds all morning and my phone battery was low. He told me to go to the local store and buy a charger which can be written off for tax purposes!  Great!  I pretended to walk to my car and attempted light conversation.  I asked him where in Indian was he from.  He replied, "who said I'm from India?  I have a cold."  Reasonable...  I too sound like an Indian uncle when I get a cold.  Upper respiratory viruses are known to cause one to roll one's 'r's'.  I then told him how weird it was that his name was William Black even though he was Indian. He got pretty irritated about this and told me I must be stupid!  He then told me to go to a government store and pick up government money cards.  What's a government store?  Oh Walmart or Kroger are all government stores.  Then I pretended to drive and just kept the dumbass on the line for another 30 minutes while I did other things.  He would check in and I'd tell him I kept taking wrong turns because I was nervous!  Then I told him I had to fill gas.  He was getting really irritated.  I told him I was getting a call on the other line, and that it was nature. He had no idea what that meant. So I told him I had to wee wee in the gas station bathroom.  Of course I couldn't hang up, so I took him to this fictitious had station bathroom (office bathroom) and proceeded to pretend to do my business.  By doing my business I meant slowly pouring a 32 oz cup of water into the toilet while on speaker phone.  With the tinkling of water in the background, I started to tell him all about the misery of life with a big, boggy swollen prostate.  After about 6-7 minutes of water torture (old Billy Black from India was getting even more upset with the way this scam was going, and probably his life choices by now) he screamed that I was a tax fraud and that police will arrest me, and then he hung up.

The end.

I received a letter from 1 800 829 3676 I didn't understand what they were asking me but I do know they are asking for payment..

Thank you for this information,I received a letter and both numbers you mentioned are on it.

Received letter discussing an inquiry made by me or an authorized 3rd party, but they failed to mention/include a dollar amount. Reading it, its hard to figure out why they sent it or what they want. In addition, the signature of the ‘Operations Manager’ looked like that of a 3rd grader learning to write cursive. I called the number on a Sat—souned like a legit robo-voicemail stating no one was avail but can go to IRS website. Phone numbers listed to call:800-829-8374 and 800-829-3676.

I got the same "IRS" letter with the same phone #s. I went to IRS website, the phone# is different. Google shows me this page when I google the number 800-829-3676 and 800-892-0922.

This is the current IRS scam.  Do not call these crooks back and try to understand or reason with them. Quite a few of these scams are run from India. Your best protection is to ignore calls from unknown numbers that show suspicious or no name in the caller ID.  Sometimes blocking works, but usually the scammers keep calling on new (and spoofed) numbers.

Never, Never, EVER Call back.  Since you spoke to them, they will keep calling for a while.  You expect this scam again, and probably the phony IRS and Process Server calls.  Be Alert.  Be Safe.
