Says irs that owe money

Same as above. Got the same call yesterday and today. Says that I committed fraud etc. automated message left message on my cell phone

Says I'm hiding from federal government and to return call. Called back and heard lots of voices in background-- call center? Man who answered phone had thick accent and was difficult to understand. I hung up.

Same message...am blocking the number...wonder where you can report this

Here are two pages of links to (mostly government) sites in Canada and the USA were you can report phone scams, or learn more about them.

First, look elsewhere on this site for an Article, entitled "Where to Report Phone Crime".  (It may appear in the column to your right).

Committed fraud hiding taxes from IRS. Calls several times a day.

Called 4 times first automated message telling me to call back to discuss a urgent IRS matter. The other calls were all at 6:30 am. Each time a man with thick accent stated with IRS Freud department. The first call the caller gave a fake name John Black and a badge number A812 (not real). Caller said if I was aware a arrest warrant was issued for IRS fraud. When I respond I was at my job with the police department and the officer next to me wanted to talk with him. The caller became arguementive attempt to tell the officer to arrest me. Officer (who started it was a scam) asked for him to prove who he is and proved contact informed and provide the supposed paper work. The caller began screaming and yelling and was ordering the officer to do as instructed then made threats. The caller hung up after a string of curse words. The third and fourth calls were the following day. The caller had a thicker accent difficult to understand. The caller was very aggressive demanding I spell my name and provide personal information when I refused he began threatening me. He said that I had a arrest warrant and that I have been uncooperative and hostile to investigators. When I told him he is not a IRS representative and to stop calling I hung up. He called back before I could block the number told me the police are coming to arrest me and I will be going to prison for IRS fraud.

Voicemail message on IRS fraud and arrest issue again. This is the 4th call in 1 month. Caller was rude & had an accent. There was call center type noise in the backround. Please do something about this.

Recorded message that irs was filing charges for tax fraud... Getting tired of it. If you ask me ,its a laugh.. Not!

Same type of call.

First, the IRS NEVER calls you, they contact you by either by first class on very rare occasions registered mail.
Second, Do Not Answer the phone if don't know who's calling you! The moment you answer they know it's a good number. They will use it for their needs and then sell it off to the highest bidder! Your phone will never stop ringing, if you don't stop answering it. A valid business will leave you a detailed message with the name of the actual busimess, a contact name, phone number and extension number. Most of all real business a WON'T threaten you they can't, if they do file a complaint immediately with the FCC, no has the right to threaten you ever. Also, if it is a real business find them on the BBB (Better Business Bureau) website and file a complaint with them. No real business wants their BBB rating to be compromised.
Finally a little fyi...A couple  in the mid--west was arrested last year for using this scam and stealing $150K from hard working people that didn't know better. Don't fall victim to this scumbag's!!(sorry there isn't a better word to describe them)

Good Luck!

They called and left a voicemail saying they were from the irs and i was to return the call immediately. I called the number back no one spoke,  so I pretended I was looking for my uncle fred never heard anything but background noise. I blocked the number. I never answer numbers I don't know.

Just happened to me. Told him I am turning it over to police.

Same here

I got the same  call and I haven't called back and wont they are such a waste of time and how they want to try to threaten you and take money they never worked for is a load of crap

They just called me, and threnten me with the same irs..  How can i report them..plz

Pretty much the same as above. It was a robo call message left on my voice mail. Indicated I need to call back and give them a file number they indicated. IRS deals in paper and would have mailed me information, not call. Especially if it was a matter of this nature. Optionally they would send a bunch of investigators in trench coats. They wouldn't call. Spammers!  Block 'em!
