I received a call from this number this morning.  The gentleman who left the message barely spoke English and told me I needed to call the IRS right away about my problem. Said he was from IRS and I or my attorney need to call before legal action.  Caller ID showed out of area. Nothing about IRS.

Your're welcome. Glad it helped.

Impersonating a Law Enforcement officer or Federal agency officer is a crime! Most of these callers are not in the US though, rather being in India or Pakistan. You can report these calls..

I got the same call today from 585 310 3285 today at 10:01 am EST (2/28/2014), left voice message, is this a crime? Can it be stopped?

Please stop this kind of nonsense this # call me for IRS And this # 415 5062511 call me same person Indian accent from IRS.

Voice message left by a man with a heavy Indian accent claiming to be from IRS. Very tough to understand because of the man's accent: "This message is intended for {my full name}. {First name}, the very second you receive this message, I need you or your attorney {mumbled word} to return the call. This {mumble word} is an extremely time-sensitive {mumbled words}. My name is Allen Drew {name was mumbled so this is just a guess} and I am calling from the IRS, Internal Revenue Service. {Mumble words} My number is 585-310-3285. I repeat my number is 585-310-3285. Don't try to disregard this message and {mumbled words} illegal take place {mumbled words}. We have determined that there is a deficiency in your income tax. Good bye and take care {my full name}.

I did reoprt this number to FTC. You should all do the same thing too, rather than just complaining. Good luck.

Today is 02-24-2014. I recieved a phone call early in the morning from some guy 100% with an Iranian or Arminian accent (since I am too from that part of the world & can tell on the accent) calling himself Justin Conner working with the IRS department and left me a message to call him back urgently. I called back at this number 1-585-310-3285 and Baxter Cruze voice mail came, saying this is an IRS investigation department. Left couple of messages to see if they have the balls to call me back. SCAM written all over them. Be Aware and don't give them or anyone your personal information especailly over the phone. IRS does not make phone calls like this. If IRS needs you for something, then they will inform you in writing. I will report them to the FBI.

This week he was using the name Allan Parker.  He called on Feb 20.  Heavy Indian accent, so sounds like the same guy.

>>> "Chris Miller" called an identified himself as IRS inspector. <<<

Please see my post in the 800notes.com forums about these types of calls.  Just click here to see
"Fake IRS agents and magicJack numbers:"
http://800notes.com/forum/ta-97219e249ee2fc8/ ... gicjack-numbers

Note that I am not impugning either the magicJack company or YMAX Communications in any way -- it's just that their service and devices have proven convenient for scammers.

I also suggest that you make a simple demand of people who call and claim that you will be arrested immediately.  Demand the number of your local IRS Taxpayer Advocate's Office so you can call them immediately and ask for a hearing because "You face (or your business is facing) an immediate threat of adverse action."  (They probably can't actually get you a "hearing," but this is one of the ways you can qualify for help from them.)  There really are such offices and you can look up their numbers on the Internet, or you can get IRS Publication 1546, which contains a list of them.  There are other ways to get this list or just your local Advocate's Office, but I am deliberately being vague here because I don't want to make it too easy for foreign scammers to get this list.

This demand may by itself either scare or confuse the heck out of the scammer or force him to improvise from his script, because he is unlikely to know that there even is such an office (there is) or how to contact them.  And once they are scared or confused, you'll know it and you'll be in the driver's seat.

"Chris Miller" called an identified himself as IRS inspector. Used propensities when I tries to ask him a few questions.

Yes I would send the information to the FBI. They also called our cell phone stating the same thing, We immediately filed a police report and will be contacting the IRS during their normal business hours. As this scum bag called us on a Saturday! I fought back with him when he threaten us with the US Marshal coming to our home to arrest my husband. When I READ HIM THE FRAUD COMPLAINTS posted on the IRS. this creep said. "you got me, are you going to report me?" I hung up.

Received a call message 2/22/2014 from 585-3103285 Alan Bruce. Very strong India accent, saying this is from IRS, do not discard the call, by law?.Feel wired since this is Sunday, IRS should not work and they should send letter instead of phone calls. Called back the number, the other side no reply, but saying Magic Jack please leave a message. Come online check the number found this board. Thanks for the info.

Received a call from 585-310-3285 this morning, individual had a heavy accent and said he was with the IRS and I had a tax issue.  I just hung up knowing it was a scam, but he kept calling back.  He said why did you hang up, I said because you are not from the IRS and have no time for him.  He said ok, I'll send a police officer to your house.  I said please do.  

Indian man claiming to be from IRS called at 8:30 on Saturday morning - caught me just waking up.  Told me IRS had been sent a registered letter to my address that was returned to office because no one home to sign for it.  Confirmed my correct address.  Said to call 585-310-3285 and give a case number he gave me and that my case officer, Officer Dexter Cruise, would explain issue with my last tax return.  I called.  Phone answered by man that sounded the same.  He asked my name.  I told him I had a case number.  He demanded my name.  I told him I would give him my case number.  He told me that he would see me in court and hung up.  I looked up number on internet and saw all of the posts.  Do not give this man any information.

Got the same message left on my vm.  Broken English but he could make out the trigger works "illegal" and "attorney" very well.  But I doubt poor grandma could understand him so I guess it's a fail.

Same experience as above. Hope the REAL IRS goes after these CRIMINALS!!!

Same scam...

I also received a called from this number on Monday, Feb 17, 2014. Broken English could barely understand anything.  Said something about IRS and audit  said his name was Tom squad or something like that.
Have tried to call this number back and says there was an error, mail box was full.
Would like to know what it is about or if it is real.  
REALLY using IRS is not something to play with - when leaving messages.  puzzled?????????

he called me and left message with Indian accent in my answer machine yesterday.  I called back many times today but no one answered and mail box was full. I called again about half hour ago.  Some one picked up phone and said IRS but he did not have India accent and refused to speak to me because he did not understand my English.  This is a b***s***.  Just want all of you received call my this guy be alert.  Thank you for google.

A india Man called 11am 32 claiming to be Cris Miller from the IRS , he said we do have a problem about ours taxes when we ask a file # he refuse to answer .what we should do with this peoples they haves ours Names and phones.thank u

He call me I knew he is a fraud and I used the langue whatever he deserved and I hang up, but latter on he call me and using an India langue to reply me back. Hahaaaa

After reading these other posts, I'm surprised the 585-310-3285 number is a working number, and not a spoofed number. Everyone should call this number continuously, as many times as possible. Please state that you are Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. from the FBI. Tell whoever answers that you want to talk to "Alfredo Lasagna".

Thank you.

Received call on 2/19/2014 at 11:22 AM: Caller left voice message from 585-310-3285. Speaker has heavy foreign accent, claiming to be "Alan Berg" from the IRS. Claimed a "discrepancy" in a tax return and needed an immediate call back. I reported on FBI tip site also as fraudulent activity with voice mail available and the number. FBI likely gets hundreds of these reports a day, but I feel it is good to report and hope they will shut these guys down.

I received a call from this number this morning.  The gentleman barely spoke English and told me I needed to call the IRS right away about my problem.  I asked what problem and he said, call and you will discuss it with your IRS person.  I asked for his name and was told Baxter or Dexter Crude.  Very difficult to understand this person.  DO not return a call to this number.  It is some kind of SCAM!

In the last few days, I've been repeatedly harassed by this telephone number 585-310-3285, constantly leaving me voicemail messages which I couldn't understand, except the word 'IRS' and she sounded urgent and has a very thick Indian accent.  Then again this morning at 7:43 AM (EST), she called again, the same Indian woman, and I accidentally picked up the phone by mistake, so I spoke to her briefly as I was curious to find out what?s going on.  She identified herself from IRS but I couldn't understand any of her conversation or who she's trying to reach and when I asked her to spell the name for me, I still couldn't understand!!    So I decided to call back, instead of the Indian woman, a man answered and when I told him someone was trying to contact me but I couldn't understand who she's trying to reach, without asking me any question, he told me that they are looking for 'John'.  At this point, I think they are "high-tech" and probably identified my phone with the caller ID, so I asked who's John because I have two family member with the name ?John? and same last name.  He couldn't answer me but said to me 'John' lives at this street address which belongs to me.  I realised who that 'John' might be as he had used my address for some of his mail in the past but never the IRS.  Besides, he files his own income tax using his own home address and his own telephone number, not mine!!!  I immediately felt suspicious as most of the time IRS would identify the person with the SS#, not the street address.  I told him that I would contact John and asked who should he be looking for when call back.  He said to call back 'Dexter Cruz' or 'Baxter Cruz'.  He sounded rude and is not a professional like and IRS rep would be.  I then called 'John' and related the message.  'John' called back 585-310-3285 and it's 'Cruz' who answered the phone, 'Cruz' told 'John' that 'John' had owe IRS lots of money and threatened to send IRS police to the house to arrest 'John' and put 'John' in jail for 5 years if the outstanding balances are not paid up.  'John' questioned ?Cruz? why there?s never a letter received regarding the delinquency.  ?Cruz? claimed that a couple of letter were sent by ?Registered? mail in December but was returned back to them and therefore they are taking the last action to contact ?John? by phone (through me !!!) ?John? finds it suspicious but let 'Cruz' to continue his nonsense.  Apparently, 'Cruz' might be looking to get a check from ?John? but ?John? just hung up the phone after telling ?Cruz? to send the IRS police to arrest him!!  

This is definitely a SCAM.  Why would they contact me to look for a family member using my cell phone number and my home address?   Please ignore all messages and calls from this phone number.  If someone could identify where the origin of this phone number 585-310-3285, they should contact the local police to arrest them.

I received a call from the same  guy  on Monday around 11  am  I was at work  at that time  and left me a massage
I have   a problem in my  income tax and if I fail to call him as soon as possible   he will be left  with the only option to file a law suit against me I called him next day to find out what was the  problem  he answered that he works for the irs  investigation  department and after investigating  7 years of my income return  he find out that it was fraudulent and the irs need me to pay 25000,00$  or I'm going to face 5 years I prison and pay the fines and all the interests and he told me he is going to send two police officers to arrest me I told him go ahead I be in my residence at 5 pm and hung up on him

I caled back this number on Friday 2/14/14 the voice mail saying  "the mail box of this number is full" then Monday is a Holiday and I just call back this number this morning the first two times I got the messages saying the mail box is full then the third time the same voice of the Indian call me on Thursday answers the phone, I ask for Pester Cruv he sais Mr. Cruv is in the meeting then I ask him that someone called me and told me to call this number ASAP but the mail box is full, I ask him who he needs the information he said that he needs my son info, I said I 'm the one who prepared his income tax then the phone line turns busy signal right away; so I called my friend he is a CPA Tax expert he told me if truly IRS needs information they always send letter out and he told me to Google this number and I know this is a scam so I just want to have a briefly report.
