Says it's to resolve tax fraud, but this might be a scam

Common India or Pakistani based IRS scam.  Block and ignore the calls.

Same call. Said there is fraud but no reference to type. Called back and was greeted with "hello?" And very poor quality connection. Asked for my full name. I hung up.

Received a call from this number saying there was tax fraud on my file.  Tried to call back.  First the circuits were busy,then deaf air, finally I just got rings for awhile with no answer.  Thinking this is a scam.  Any thoughts?

"IRS" tax scam.  Do not return calls to this number

This is a scam.  The IRS will NEVER call you.  Block this caller and do not return the call.

Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.   Block and ignore.   DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.  IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government.     Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter.  But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters.  90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively.  IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes.  IRS has no powers of arrest as related to ordinary tax disputes.  Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime.  IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of  money.  IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone.   IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case.  No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments.  Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but  usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement.    All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals.  All  contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

Especially on weekends when they are CLOSED!

Said he was an IRS special investigator... Said his name was 'Ramon' and then 'Ken Murphey' when I asked for the supervisor in charge it was the same person that he transferred me to, which transfering me meant holding his  hand over the phone for a second and trying to figure out what to say. He tried to get my personal information and when I tried asking the same, ext #'s ect, I was hung up on. When I tried calling back by hitting redial I got hung up on then he, and Indian man, said 'domino's may I take your order. Never got my delivery lol   They don't like getting over a dozen phone calls back, it was their lucky day catching me on my day off! I filed a report with the FTC and the IRS, not that it'll do any good but hopefully my phones calls put an irritation in his morning like he did mine :)

The caller tried the IRS Tax scam.  The IRS never calls anyone if taxes are overdue or fraud is involved, they just seize your bank account
