These people should be locked up.    

Indian accent speaking man called stating he was calling from IRS Department about back owed  taxes, threating to take my home & car also put hold on my back account and take drivers licensee away and threating me with jail time if I did not make some type of payment so that he could stop all these things from taking place. demanding a payment of some type and would set up payment plan. called IRS a they said that they do not work that way. if you get a call like this call the IRS and speak to someone and report it

Left a mostly-unintelligible message and said something that was probably about the IRS, although even that wasn't clear. If he wants his scam to work, he's going to have to speak English well enough for his marks to understand what he's asking them to do.

Got a message on my answering machine dated tuesday ... same thing:
Some one who identify himself as Alan Parker from IRS called twice from this number He said that I have tax issue and need to call back the number. He even said threaten before any legal allegation can occur. The guy said in a very slow english - indian accent.   thanks for the prior posting.  I will report this to IRS.  

Yes, got a call from 585-283-7013 stating that this was from IRS. This guy left me a voice mail to return his call. The line had a lot of static, but sounds like a fake call.

Received the similar call, three time this afternoon, ignored the message. Agreed with comments above.  IRS would not do this.  It's an scam not even worth the time to pay attention to.  Just hope these guys get caught and locked up forever!

Some one who identify himself as Mathew Jones from IRS called from this number He said that I have tax issue and need to call back the number. I checked this phone number in GOOGLE and found all of many messages. Don't answer a call from this number , ignore it!

Had a message left on my phone yesterday from this number asking me to call as there is a problem with my taxes. Try to call back from my work phone it goes strait to voice mail every time.

My wife received the same message: I am calling from the IRS, that's the Internal Revenue Services hotline, my division is 585-283-7013 and then he repeated the number. Don't try to disregard this message and do return my call as soon as possible, before any legal action is taken. We have to talk about a discrepancy in your income tax. Good bye and take care.

If they're going to run a scam, you'd think they'd at least get someone that can speak English.  This "Ben Wilson's" English is about the poorest I've ever heard.  

I just received the call too. Ours was from, Dan Wilson, with a pause before stating his name and a very heavy Indian accent. His message was...I am calling from the IRS, that's the Internal Revenue Services hotline, my division is 585-283-7013 and then he repeated the number. Don't try to disregard this message and do return my call as soon as possible, before any legal action is taken. We have to talk about a discrepancy in your income tax. Good bye and take care.

Thanks for posting these, as I won't be bothered with this now.

RE

I got a called from this number on SUNDAY at 9:30AM. The person with Indian accent identified himself as PETER BROWN and gave me a 60 seconds long message threatening me that the was an issue with my tax. The same guy called me on Monday at 7:45AM with the same message. I called him back and he started threatening me with the tax things. I quickly and politely asked him for my SSN so that I can verify that he is from the IRS. Guess what? He told me that he can't because it is illegal and private. So, I asked him just to give me the last four or middle two number of my SSN? He got PISSED and then hang up. Just be careful. Do NOT give out your info.

BTW: Thanks to DINETTA and all of you here to start reporting this scam. That is why I posted this so that others don't have to deal with these nonsense threats.

This person called my home twice on Saturday January 25 and nine times today , Monday morning January 27. A man with a Indian accent.he says I owe the IRS and i need to speak to his senior officer by the name of Gavin Johnson in order to discuss the exact issues with the taxes. This s*** is so annoying . I don't know how to stop the calls . I've already told him " I know it's a scam they're doing and a reported them to the Cop " but this idiot still continues to call.

He finally picked up his phone.  I confronted that he is not from IRS.  He admitted he is not from IRS and said what am I going to do about it. Mother F....

I received a message from a foreign guy by the name of Alex martin claiming there was a descriptese with my taxes I got hostile with him he threatened legal action called local police they say sounds like a scam phone number 585-283-7013

I have received a similar message on my answering machine last night.  When my husband called back this morning on this number 585 283 7013, a man with an Indian accent answered as IRS.  As soon as my husband said "you have left a message on our answering machine" he hung up the phone immediately.  Several minutes late he called again and I picked up the phone, the same person ask my name.  When I interrogated who was he, he hung up the phone immediately again. It seems a scam but he is a real person.

A man who identified him as Marty Jones left a message today. He with Indian accent claimed to call from IRS to threaten a legal action against me due to a tax issue. I called back with his number 585-283-7013. No one was available but a voice mail saying the extension 3029 was on the phone and asking me to leave a message. Be careful ... it seems a scam.

Same thing here in Hawaii.  Received a call from someone (Alan Brooke??) with a very heavy accent.  There was a lot of background noise...said he's from the IRS and there is an issue with my taxes.  I let it go to voicemail!!

Some one who identify himself as Mathew Jones from IRS called twice from this number He said that I have tax issue and need to call back the number. I withheld my number and called the number back. It would just take me to the voice mail that says " extension 3029 is on the phone." Next day, He called again 7:30 am saying that I did not call them back. I contacted IRS and filed complain online and phone. IRS would never contact individual on the phone. Don't answer a call from this number , ignore it!

Some one who identify himself as Dan Murphy from IRS called said that I have tax issue and need to call back at this number.
I have heard that the IRS never call you directly like this, so I pretend to take a message and never call this number back.

The first time ever got such a call I called 911 because I freaked out. The police officer from our local town educate me on the phone scams that come along text season specifically because a lot of people are in that scared of the IRS to start. When it came for him to conclude the one hour education and leaving I asked him if he will file a report he said it's up to you but I can just tell you know from his personal experience that whenever they file phone number scam such as these it does not go beyond one or two offices and then it is stopped . He said that the FBI are the ones who usually follow cases that deal with such nonviolent crimes and that there is a special office for such crimes but he mentioned that the FBI are very efficient with Internet crimes more then telephone calls as the verbal communications and connections are harder to track. Again I'm just conveying what the local police officer told me from his experience of dealing with me a few weeks.

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.

Same deal, some guy with a thick Indian accent called me twice (name was Mike Carter), claiming I had some gap in my income tax, which I haven't filed yet this year.  Left a number 585-283-7013 to call back.  I called back, his mailbox was full so I couldn't hear what information he wanted, but I'm going to call back once his mailbox clears up so I can hear what kind of scam he is trying to pull.  

I just got this phone call Friday morning at 9 AM January 24 with someone with an Indian accent claiming to be the IRS identifying himself as Ofc. (English name I can't recall ) and asking for my specific name -they had done this previously so I was aware of this scam -I told him this was the Police Department and I will transmit this information from police to the FBI to put this phone number under surveillance he said well can you just pass on my message to ( my self ).
It's as if The word police department did not click and he did not understand he was calling the police.

I got a call at 8:30 this morning saying his name is Frank with the IRS and I needed to call back immediately or face penalty. His phone rang once and went to voicemail which was full and stated it was ext. 3029

We received a call from this number at 9pm last night, then again at 7:30am this morning.  Person says his name is Roger, that he is calling from the IRS and our attorney call-back is "extremely time sensitive".  When he called this morning 7:30am, he was speaking a foreign language on the voice mail.  

No doubt, it is a scam.  The IRS is required to send you a letter for any debt they think you owe.

we also got a call from a man claiming to be from the IRS, Davy Down, with a heavy East Indian accent. (585) 283- 7013 was the number he left for us, I couldn't really understand much except that it was urgent and there was a problem with our taxes. Definitely a scam!

this is a scam. called IRS to verify.
IRS/Treasury criminal line 800-336-4484 call to report this scam

Received this call at my office asking for me by name; said he was from the IRS.  We had a bad connection, so he became frustrated because he had to call back three times.  Sounded like telemarketers in the background.  I know that if the IRS needs to contact you, they do so my mail.  Finally told him we had a bad connection and hung up.

I just recieved the same call.. I thouhgt it was a prank call because like everyone else I could barley understand what the person was saying. She went from asking for 3k to 280.00.
