844-850-3565

Call showed up on Caller ID as Unknown Name 844-850-3565, so I let it go to my answering machine, because I didn't recognize the number. A message was left stating that they were calling from the Tax Fraud investigation Department of Internal Revenue service of Treasury and they were investigating me for tax fraud and I or my attorney needed to call them back at 844-850-3565 to save my good name. Blah, blah, blah. They are the ones who are guilty of such, and I wish that there was some way to stop them from pestering innocent people.

same as above, tax fraud claiming I 'm guilty of tax fraud , the IRS never calls they would sent out a letter

Same as the two above.  IRS sends letters out but when they call they usually identifies themselves as individual agents and asks for the person or persons that they are looking for, never just shoots at the person that picks up the phone. Never heard of a recording from them either. Scary though.

They called in on a work cell for my company so know its fraudulent. Will report today

Same as above

Seemed legit.  Gave my cc#.

Yep, just got one at 9:04 this morning....What a SCAM!  If I were elderly or immigrant who doesn't know any better, I would be concerned and call their number.  I am reporting today as well.  How brazen!

So the irs calls me to say i'm a fraud. Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha! There is no bigger fraud than the irs. Now we see why they are having problems at the irs. They have a bunch of [***] working there.

Wrong, most of these calls are coming from India and Pakistan..

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.

Yep, same call, to my work cell phone.  I spoke with the guy playing his game.  He started asking questions, I said wait, you are the IRS, you have my records, tell me what I did wrong?  He said let me cut to the chase, you owe xxx$, frauding the IRS, when are you going to court to resolve?  I told him to please send me a letter in the mail explaining all the details.....he hung up.  Appreciate the other comments.

suspicious call about fraudulent IRS activity

Same as above.  Left robot message in broken English on phone.    I called back talked to "agent"  told them if you were IRS you have my name.   They did have my address and name. But when I asked what my SSN was ,  he called me a " mother f@@@@r" and I better get a lawyer and hung up on me.     Hmmm. I am thinking this was not the IRS. Lmao.  I was having so much fun, I called back but they just kept hanging up on me.

Btw to  above Joe Biden , mr VP.  That was funny!!!!!!   Love it.

Contact your credit card company asap to have them put a hold on any payment and to start an investigation.  This has been all over our local tv and radio news stations as a common fraud.

If your real name is joy biden, ignore my helpful message and good luck running for president

:-).   I agree Joe good luck.   Nice subtle humor!

Received a call from 844-850-3565. It sounded like a recorded message stating that I've been accused of committing tax fraud that I need my attorney and I to contact the IRS.

He said his name was David calling from the IRS and that he needed to speak to my husband. He knew both our names. When I told him we file tax together and that he could speak to me about the matter he told me it was against my husband not me. Then he told me he was gonna have the law on my door steps today if my husband did not call him back today. Then he hung on me.

These people are scam artists spamming people with false pretenses and I hope someone Deals with this as soon as possible, if you see the number leave it alone. there should be no reason to pick up if someone knows how said people should be dealt with do so nothing pisses me off more than con artists trying to make a quick buck

Same as above.  Ridiculous!
