Called this morning. Did not answer. No message. Googled the number and came up with this posting. Get a life.

S***...I'm getting these too! I would NOT advise answering or calling back! If you press their any keys on your phone to "unsubscribe" you might actually being agreeing to a hidden purchase or authorization! That's how they got my husband for some stupid joke line subscription. Had to call Verizon and have the charges removed and block acceptance of these lil buggers. Be warned! :)

OOPS---sorry for the double post!

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.

Recorded message stating Sarah was calling about IRS debt. I hung up and called back and was told I could press any button to be removed from their call list which I did. I probably  just confirmed I have an active line they can really attack. We'll see.

These knuckle heads keep calling me. I've finally reported them so hopefully they'll STOOOOOOP IT!   Adding, I got the app to block unwanted calls like spam.  Sooooo happy I did!!!

Called at 4:22pm. Left no message.  I am in Ohio.

Called at 4:25pm didn't answer, no msg.

I have received calls to my cell several times recently from this number.  I NEVER answer calls on my cell unless I am expecting a call from someone not in my contacts.   Today again I got a call at 4 pm so looked here.  I am from Alliance so I was really curious.    Thanks to this site, I will continue to NOT answer unknown calls.  If it was someone important, they would leave a message and I would call right back.

Hi Sara from 330-614-7545, Alliance, Ohio. I just reported your sorry A$$ to the IRS for tax fraud. Merry Freaking Christmas. I hope you spend the new year in jail where you belong.

I just got a call from this #. Didn't answer, no msg left. Looked up this forum and seen other people had the same call. I called back and there was an automated msg stating "to be removed from this listing press any key, could take up to 48 hour for removal"...so I pressed the * key, there was a beep, then I was disconnected. Sometimes we just have to answer and say remove me from your list. Or call back and typically you'll get an automated message like I received. It's annoying, but the only other option is to keep getting these calls.

*OW* Hey, the DNC list is for telemarketers, but won't protect you from these kind of scammers sadly!  Yeah I agree it sucks, but thats the way it is. You need to file a complaint with the real IRS and not the DNC.. Which is down anyway from the government being shut down. You can file a complaint with your state Attorney general and the FBI also.. Otherwise tell the IRS, they want to know about these things, same as the DEA wants to know about the DEA scammers..

Do factor in the fact that some of these creeps are not even in the US pulling this garbage also, that opens up a whole new bottle of red tape..

I don't have outstanding IRS payments!!!! Leave me alone! DNC list works like our goverment should......hey, let's let them run our HEALTH CARE!!!!!!!!

You need to contact the real IRS and file a complaint..

I answered the call and a woman said, "Hi, this is Sara (I think) and I am calling you about your IRS tax debt." She then hung-up. I have no tax debts and she never bothered to ask who I was before asserting I did have such a debt, so I'm going to assume this was a cold call from scammer or telemarketer.
