Just got the same message from Ryan Gibbson. Did not answer the call but knew he was a scammer from the news report a month ago regarding this very issue.
Stating he is from the Treasury Dept. and I should have legal assistant for a very important matter. He has a very heavy accent. Call was out of Los Angeles.
What a joke. I will forward the scam information to the IRS.

I received a phone call today from 213-603-9090 in the Los Angeles area. A man with a heavy Indian accent proceeded to ask me if I was aware that I had legal action against me from the United States Treasury Dept. He told me this was a very serious and urgent matter that needed my prompt attention. He did not give me his name, but told me to call back the same number that he called from and ask for Kevin Peterson. I could smell the scam through the receiver. It was almost comical and I tried not to laugh in his face. Believe me, if the IRS had a problem with me, they would not have someone call who could barely speak the English language. Really Kevin Peterson? You can't do better than that? I blocked the number and of course the autodialer found a way around it and called me from 323-498-3326. I will keep blocking numbers and they will continue to call. I will report them to the Criminal Division of the BBB and they can inform the United States Treasury that a scam is being run in there name.

Kevin Peterson called me 15 time so far today. After I asked for his " business! address he got very nasty and threatened to come to my home and "kick my a**". After I got nasty right back he told me he was gonna beat me bloody in 45 minutes. I lol at him. Hell I wish he wasn't hours and hours away he never bother us again if he would really show up. There has to be a way to stop this jerk. We know its a scam but so many dont.

His name this time is Kevin Peterson and he told me he was with the U S Treasury Department.  I told him it was a scam and I would call the police and he said they would be there to arrest me within 45 minutes.  I self-reported to the police and went back to sleep.  INdia-the accent was that of a man from India, or Pakistan or whatever

A man named Ryan Gibson called me from this number with a very thick accent claiming to be with the U.S. Treasury. He has a very thick Indian accent, was very threatening and left me a very long message.

It's a scam:

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 tophishing@irs.gov.

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

Just got called from this number 6 times in a row. I finally answered and it was a heavily accented individual asking for someone who I am not. Then when I said he had the wrong number he proceeded to ask me if I had a number for whoever he asked for. I politely asked that he not use my number anymore. He said I wouldn't receive anymore calls. That was 2 minutes ago, we'll see what happens..... ANNOYING and I'm sure some kind of scam.
