Just received the messagefrom the same phone number and they wanted a lawyer's number also and had a thick accent and he said his name was Ryan Miller and that I needed to call back and speak to Michael Lee who was supposed to be an officer I never called back they said this was a law enforcement against my husband

Just got a call from this #, a guy with a heavy oriental accent said his name was John Davis. Said it was the us treasury legal dept.

I Got A Call Saying this is Legal Affairs By A Heavy Accented Person And I Told Him I Was Calling The Police And He Hung up.

Calling to collect tax debt

They called for my husband and left a VM saying they were from the US treasury and legal action would be taken if they don't get a call from him or a lawyer.  After reading replies above I have delete4d the message.

I got the same call today from a woman with
Heavy accent.. I told her send me a letter and i hang up...

I received various messages from a man who calls himself an officer from the IRS and at times Shawn Gibson from Legal affairs.  He has a very heavy accent advising for me to called him back urgent.  I did call this number back and it was someone else's answering machine.

just got a call from a heavy accented person, said he was with US Treasury, requested my wife call back or legal action would be taken.  I told him my wife would not be calling, that I thought he was a scam.  He hung up.  I checked this web site and it seems to be so.

Verbal notification in regards to enforcement action started against my name. Delaying calling them will lead to legal mess for me.  Said he was Ryan Miller with the Dept of Legal Affairs. Also had a very heavy accent.

My parents got a call at my old number, they werent home, so they left a VM. Said he was John Davis regarling legal action and to call him immediately.  My mom said you could barely understand  him and it sounded like he was in a call center cause she could here people in the background. I called the number and got a play back recording about the number not being hooked up. My mom texted me back and said to read on the Internet about this number and here i am.

yes this is a very common scam used by criminals to extort money from you by scaring you.  Remember that in any debt collection situation you have rights, and the collector must follow a set of rules that are etched in stone.
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

My mom got a call at her house for me. The mans name was Ryan Miller. She said he had a thick accent. He said that he was from the US treasury and to have me call back because it was very important. When she gave me the 909 area code, I was like yeah right they don't have a 800 number? I came on here and read your comments. Out of curiosity I called the number and it was an ad for Magic Jack. It says the number hasn't been assigned yet.

These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement.

If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.
It's a phone scam.In fact, it tops the IRS "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams this year, and it's been surging in recent months, the agency said Thursday.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, has received reports of 290,000 scam calls since October 2013 and said nearly 3,000 victims have been swindled out of $14 million so far.

By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.

Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.

They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.

Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.

The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.

If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.
