We also recieved a call from this woman named Caroline Miller with heavy indian accent.  She said she was the department of legal affairs.  She said I would have a "big legal mess" on the first voicemail message she left on our line if we didn't call her back.  We called the number back, it immediately disconnected.  She then called four days later three times.  We picked up on third time.  We asked her to identify herself - Caroline Miller from the Department of legal Affairs & that enforcement actions were started on our name.  We asked what we needed to do... she said call back the number she was calling from & speak with the Legal Officer.  We said "why do we have to call back the number you are calling from?  this is a phishing scam, we don't believe you" to which she replied "it could be anything, just take this number and call back".  She just now called us back again & we told her the police have been notified (which they came out to our house this morning & told us this is definitely a phishing scam & not call the number back & to give the woman the police department's phone number & they would deal with this phisher).  Just now we offered the police department's number & told her that her phone number was logged.  We started to give her the number & she yelled "shut up, stop threatening me!" & hung up.  Don't give this number any information.  It is a phishing scam.  This number is 559-328-2396 & caller ID reads Avenal, CAT.

My c**** jockey was quite disappointed when I told him I don't file the taxes for us and that I need him to mail me a bill. He didn't know what to say so I hung up. I hope he calls back so I can play along with him by telling him I will pay it.

Some scumbag from India from this number called us today and left a message for my wife on our voice mail. I am an attorney and could smell this scam from the moment the pathetic Indian b*****d named Adam Jones breathed the first syllable of his b***s*** name.  How many Adam Jones are there in India?  I'm sure that Jones is as common a last name in India as Patel. Come on really?  I just keep playing the message back so I can laugh my rear end off. Don't fall for this and what ever you do don't loose any sleep over this. God bless the USA you Indian dirtbag piece of __________ (you can fill in the blank with your own appropriate noun or adjective.

Cool! Caroline Miller called me too. She sounds like a real hottie, doesn't she and the fact that she wants to help me avoid "a big legal mess" just seals the deal for me! I'm SO glad this kicked over to my secondary voicemail on my computer so that I can play this over and over again.

LOLOLOLOL!!!

The best part was her closing of "Have a blessed day and God bless."

I got a call from this no# 312-289-3782 saying they were the dept of legal affairs for the U.S. treasury and they wanted the no# of my attorney to settle the matter. This is a scam all these people are foreigners and this is a scam. I got a similar call from some foreigner about my computer and they wanted some info to help me keep my info safe. There needs to be a gov't dept to deal with this kind of thing.

Do not fall for these guys always ask for a written statement and watch how fast the will hang up.Who knows how to get the IRS on these people ?

I received a call from this number today. It was someone with a very thick Indian (as in India) accent. He said he was calling from the Dept of Legal Affairs and I was going to be in a lawsuit. I have it on voicemail and plan on reporting it to the authorities. I did call back and was told this too besides having it on my voicemail. I told them to "put it in writing" at which point they hung up.

Oh... I forgot.  Caroline called and said that I had to call that exact same # back and talk to Daniel Rich (officer).  So WHY wasn't Officer Daniel Rich right there right then??????  (0:  Idiots.

I just got the same call.  Called the FBI and reported it.  So they are on the list.  I just hate scammers and wish I could jump through the phone and punch them in the face. oh sorry.  that wasn't very Christian like.

WASHINGTON ? The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver?s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

?This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,? says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. ?If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don?t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn?t the IRS calling.? Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim?s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it?s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver?s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here?s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue ? if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don?t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you?ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you?ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their ?FTC Complaint Assistant? at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

We received a call from 213-289-3782 and also from 559-328-2374 both from the same woman with broken English, and again this morning at 5:30am from the 213 number asking to speak to my husband. We tried to call the numbers back but they don't go through, please do not give out any information at all to these people as this is a phishing scam plain and simple!

I received 2 voice mails from 213-289-3782 that her name was Caroline Miller with the Department of Legal Affairs and that I needed to call back or have an attorney call back to avoid legal problems.   I did not call back.  Any legal problems would be handled by mail, certified mail, or a legal process server in the State of WA, not by phone.

I received a call from this number a few days ago and again this morning.  The individual, with what sounded like an Indian accent, identified himself as Steve Daniels.  He advised that he was with the US Treasury Legal Department and that I had not paid all my taxes.  He said that they would be sending someone out to arrest me.  I asked him what I should do, that I did not owe any taxes.  He replied that he would call the IRS and call me back.  I told him that he was running as scam and he hung up.  I am a retired IRS Special Agent and know that the IRS would never do what he did.  In addition, there is no such department as the Legal Department of the US Treasury Department that uses a phone bank to call taxpayers.  I could hear a number of people talking in the background of this call.

He did not tell me how I could solve the unpaid taxes, but I am sure that he wanted money.  Individuals should not be concerned if they are called.  This is a scam.  

Stated to represent the Department of Justice and that my current issues with IRS were now revoked.  Threatened with legal action unless an agreed settlement is paid.  All a scam.  

STATES THIS IS A LEGAL SERVICE FOR THE IRS AND IF I DON'T PAY THEM A MINIMUM OF 500.00 BEFORE I DISCONNECT CALL THEY WILL HAVE ME ARRESTED. I CALLED THE IRS AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS A SCAM THAT THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE ANYONE ARRESTED OR CONTACT SOMEONE BY PHONE. BE CAUTIOUS OF THIS NUMBER AND DO NOT GIVE ANY BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION OR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!! NO ONE AT THIS PHONE # IS AMERICAN THEY ARE ALL FOREIGN FROM CALIFORNIA. I WAS TOLD TWICE THAT I WAS GOING TO BE ARRESTED WITHIN 45 MINUTES AND I AM STILL WALKING FREE!
