813-421-5902

Claims to be from IRS.  Spoofs actual IRS 800 #.  Demands you call this # to settle unpaid taxes.

Voice mail message that was left said to call this number to contact IRS about some kind of fraud that had been committed by me on my return. I have not filed yet so i called the 813-421-5902 number. The guy who answered the call asked me why i was calling! LOL!!! I told him that they called me so they should know why i was calling! SCAM!!! I have reported this phone call to the proper authorities.

They called me saying I owed back taxes. This is the 2nd time this has happened. I contacted my lawyer and he confirmed it is a scam.

Absolutely!

Tax identity theft is the theme of the week, but it’s not the only tax scam we’re talking about. Complaints to the FTC about IRS imposter scams have shot up over the last year — by almost 50,000 complaints.

Here’s what happens: You get a call from a scammer pretending to be with the IRS, saying you’ll be arrested if you don’t pay taxes you owe right now. You’re told to wire it or put it on a prepaid debit card. They might threaten to deport you or say you’ll lose your driver’s license. Some even know your Social Security number, and they fake caller ID so you think it really is the IRS calling.

But it’s all a lie. If you send the money, it’s gone.

When you have a tax problem, the IRS will first contact you by mail. The IRS won’t ask you to wire money, pay with a prepaid debit card, or share your credit card information over the phone.

If you get a call like this, file a complaint with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at tigta.gov. You also can file a complaint with the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint. If you’re concerned there’s a real problem, call the IRS directly at 800-829-1040.

Left me a voicemail stating that a lawsuit is being filed against me by the IRS, did not answer call and th evoicemail was very rude and harsh left for me.  I am working with the IRS on any issues we have so I know this is definitely a scam.
