804-212-2130

a threatening message left on my cell.  I called to see who would answer and an "agent" claims to be IRS answered the phone.  I hung up.  I was told by my CPA that the IRS doesn't call to threaten jail time.  They send several letters first.  He also said that there are many prank calls claiming to be the IRS so just ignore it.  I owe nothing to them so I know it is a prank.

What in the heck? These nitwhits left me a rbo vm stating I have 5 felonies against me and the case is going to federal court AND the sherrifs office is going to come and arrest me and I need to call this number back as soon as possible. LMAO for one thing. Then the robo voice lady goes on to say if you don't call this number back all I can wish you now good luck. Really. Why is the FCC allowing these idiots to have phone #s. Phone terrorism.

FCC has nothing to do with it.  They are scammers operating out of India and Pakistan and as such beyond the reach of US law.   They spoof local numbers.  Invest in a call blocker.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

I also received a threatening call from this number advising I will be taken to the courthouse and arrested. I am a paralegal so I know much about this scam so please don't fall for it!

Recorded voice threatening that I will be arrested.

Jail time

Robo call informing me that I have 5 criminal charges pending by the IRS and that I will be arrested. I blocked the number yesterday but a new number 804-916-8700 called today so I answered it out of curiosity. It was a guy with a foreign accent telling me his name was Officer James Wade of the Investigation Bureau of the Internal Revenue Service and that I need to acquire an attorney that there are 5 criminal charges that are going to court today and that I will be arrested. I asked what the charges are for he said tax fraud and tax evasion. I already read Tamianth comment so I advise anyone else that receives a call like this to be diligent to file a complaint and block the numbers.

I received a call from this number stating that I had 5 criminal activities and I was going to be arrested.  I did not call them back.

I received the exact same message...I was like all I can wish you now is good luck waiting on me to call back...

I called them back for fun.  :o)  They do have a system that knows what phone number they called so they can look it up.  I gave them another number on 3 different phone call attempts and they couldn't locate it.  Then one asked my "why are you harrassing me?"  LOL  Then I went on a tirade calling them garbage, criminals, POSs, etc.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Who in their right-mind would believe this?  Sadly some do!   To these fools I say bring it on!  I'm a TAX lawyer -- all I have to say is GOOD LUCK.

Same voicemail as everyone above. I find it hilarious that we all apparently have the exact number of "charges" against us. I've been scammed by something like this before and ended up paying them a lot of money b/c I was naive and scared of being in trouble. The jerk behind it was just sentenced to prison...finally after trials being postponed and rescheduled for 2 1/2 years. I will not fall for it again.

got the same call. The people want my phone number to look up my case- lol. Really.

I have 5 felonies against me and the case is going to federal court AND the sherrifs office is going to come and arrest me, If I don't call back the sheriff will be here in an hour to arrest me!  Really!?!? Oh and they wished me luck!  This was a taped message!  Ridiculous they keep doing this!

My mother received the same message as everyone above. I called the number to tell them I know they are fake and that I've reported them. That's when he started calling me a worthless [***] among other things! Please do not give them money! I promise it's a scam!!!

"IRS" called saying documents were being filed in Federal court, and the sheriff was on his way to arrest me. Just a heads up! This was the funniest phish call I ever got. I would be surprised if anyone would take this call seriously.

I was called by the number 804-201-4958.  It was an automated female voice saying it was pertinent that I call back immediately on that number.  I was pretty sure it was a scam.  So I looked up to find a number from the IRS to report this scam.  Well the number I called was directly from the IRS web site and in turn was still scamming me.  That number is 804-916-8700.  The man claimed to be Officer James Wade and that my husband and I were being sued on 5 counts of falilng to reply to their notices (which we never recieved such notice).  The man said that a warrent for our arrest was going to be placed on us.  That we would be served by our local police and that a lien would be placed on all our properties, accounts would be frozen, wages would be garnished, ect.... . He said it was because we were audited fro the years 2007-2014, and that 08,09,10, and 11 our taxes were not filled properly and that we owed  $4,980.40.  He said that there was nothing to worry about if we did nothing wrong ect.  In the end we were going to owe something like $80-90 thousand dollars.     The way he talked and  everything made me to feel that this was legit.  I then contacted a friend who had worked for the IRS and this friend  confirmed that this was and is a scam.  These jerks need to be arrested and not allowed to get away with preying on innocent people.  I hope this helps someone else out so as they do not fall for it.  Thank you for this site it helped me see that it was a scam.

Beware off this IRS scam this not real Google IRS phone scams report them 1800 366 4844. They called said it was my final notice and something about a law suit don't call them back this is a call center spoofing numbers. They will act like a officer when u call back read fake charges fake badge numbers will say they 4 counts fail to replay and if I didn't pay them5k$ the cops will be at my door and if I hung the phone or told any one they will be a warrent for my arrest. Please report them to the FBI or go your mayors office post on Facebook warn others so nobody will have to go though this or fall for it it takes 10 mins help others
