I received a call from this number saying they are collecting an IRS debt.  This is a scam the IRS will garnish your wages and freeze bank accounts to collect money.  The IRS only sends mail, they do NOT call to collect a debt.  They seize property, wages and bank accounts.

I got a letter from the IRS saying that they DID give my debt to a collector, do you think it’s fake? I’m not answering them anyways, I refuse to pay anything unless it’s in writing.

Hey Casey Connor are you the same Casey Connor that calls me every day. Tell marketer for employment specialist.

They called one time saying the were debt collectors for the irs telling me they need my social to verify that I’m that person they’re asking about

I have zero debt with IRS, so they may say they are a legit company, but they are not

This is a IRS Collection Scam. IRS does not hire collection agencies to collect tax debt. The IRS will waste more time garnish your wages, levy bank accounts than fork over more money to hire a 3rd party to collect your tax debt. The IRS must send you a letter if they are going to move forward with collections and they send this by certified mail. The IRS only calls you directly from their offices if you have a working phone number.

Performant does not have the right to collect tax debt. The iRS only does this. No one else. Do not answer, do not give out your SSN. Anyone can do a recorded line just to scam you.

Do not answer. Call IRS to confirm you owe debt. I just did with this call and they stated its a scam call and only the IRS Collection department enforces collection activity which mostly is garnishment, levy or lien on property

So it seems that they are a legit company coming from irs.gov website: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-business ... debt-collection

These tax debts are more towards people who own businesses or self employed. If you are a regular tax payer owed taxes from income taxes than this is not legit. They also stated if they ask for SSN right off the bat it is a scam. You don't give out a SSN without them announcing who they are and what they are trying to do.

They do turn past due taxes over to a collection service. I don't know when they started doing it but I know they do. I don't know if this is that company or not though.

Gee, if you had read the other posts you would have found a link to the official IRS website that lists the names of the debt collection companies that are allowed to call you for taxes. Amazingly that post is directly above your post.  See, reading really does help you learn things.

Actually,  for debts more than 36 months old and less than  $5000 they do use a 3rd party collection agency.

Yes, not only was that just discussed but I doubt Kayla who posted here last year will be back to see your answer.

This is a scam, they say the irs has turned over a collection to them, don’t fall for it

Proformant Recovery is the one used by the irs not Performa Reconvery
