They are criminal extortionists located in either India or Pakistan.  Their governments are not going to do anything and our government can't.  So.

Got multiple calls from a person identifying themselves as Chris Milo from the IRS. He left a number of 571-207-0690. We recognize that this individual and their team are fraudulent.

Got the call and told them they were a scam! even before I read this then went on line and found this.  They said you know you are being recorded and hung up.

Please explain to me how you arrest someone in Asia, or Africa? Foreign criminals using high speed internet, voip, a few dollars in software are calling Americans for all sorts of extortion scams. So now what? Oh! Let me tell you: (1) DO NOT call back a number you do not know (2) No voice mail, no worries. (3) Check ALL numbers on line FIRST. If the number leads you to 800 notes, READ what is writen here. (4) Know your civil rights. Debt is civil, not criminal. LEARN what debt collector's in your State can, & cannot do. Due diligence!

I received the same call today. I hang up saying we would call back. I checked he nr(s) and found this. Thank you.

I am tired of listening to this going on and on....I need to know what is being done about this scam seriously??? They are scamming people every minute,every second.  I WANT THEM ARRESTED ASAP and never let them see another daylight ever.  I cough tip with their scam on the phone but there thousands of people getting fooled.  THIS HAS TO STOP NOW

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.
