So this phone number (425-577-7737) is a fake IRS tax number so they can steal your money and they're attacking against asian and other middle class families. Please be careful.

Received a call from a lady with heavy Indian accent at 425-577-7737 claiming to be IRS and requested that I called back at that same number and to ask for Michael Johnson. When I called back, this Michael Johnson, also with heavy Indian accent, picked up the phone and started his made-up story of my owing Taxes and that they were about to file criminal charges against us (Scary stuff!). When I questioned his authenticity and why his caller ID didn't identify them as IRS, he hung up. A few minutes later, he called again, this time with a caller ID of Internal Revue Service and IRS' 1-800 number. When I asked him who he wanted to talk to, he said some unrecognizable name. When I told him that there was no such person here, he kept asking for my name. I wouldn't give it to him. Obviously, he was confused about his calling list. As Alfalfa referred to in his comment, these scammer are able to spoof the IRS toll-free number. Watch out! FBI should try to shut them down immediately.

Call from this # said call to IRS Agent for tax collection. Funny call came 7:00 AM. I asked 1800 no. Of IRS or website they fail to provide so hung up

Got a call from someone with thick accent too.  Was notified that there was a miscalculation in my 2010 taxes, and to call the director at this number.  I therefore called back.  Person who picked up gave his name and badge number.  I then asked for his social security # (lol) and he said "I don't know you".  When I responded I didn't know him either, he cursed FY <my full name> and hung up.

Very abusive and bullying phnoe call.

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.
