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.

My wife recieved this call and number with the same threatening voicemail. I did the research and figured I would call him back. Today his name is Officer Frank White Badge Number with the IRS from Arcade NY (585)4928480. He told me the number given does not come up in his database but if I would like to proceed he would need her name and social. I informed him that the call was being recorded for her protection and that he would need to get that information from my lawyer and I would need a certified copy of the complaint before anything further was to happen. the line went dead hahaha

He is a threat to the society and creates a lot of mental tension for new immigrants who are not aware of the laws of USA. Can someone give the related website where he can be reported for this scam. Few of my friends ended up giving away him money through some scratch cards. They were completely unaware of the fact that it could be a scam.

I just got the call from this 585-492-8480 and 517-827-4852 and 516-210-4056---they told me if I do not respond police will come to arrest me and I told them please come my husband is police and would love to arrest you.  All this phone numbers are scammers and I can not believe they are still calling ----and threatening our society--

I have got the same calls. It is quite annoying. I wonder why police does not do anything about it.

Got a call from the same number. Never heard of this scam before but got pranked and eventually ended up giving away some money. Be careful!
I got aware once I became the victim :(

I got the same call and when I told him I was a lawyer he hung up.  So I called him back.  It just so happens that my husband works for a tax company and my father-in-law is a judge so I was certain this was a scam.  I tried to play along and see if he would ever ask for any personal information but he never did.  He eventually went on talking about getting married and about how much cocaine he uses every night.  I told him once his fiance finds out what he does she will leave him.  He said once he gets married he will quit but he is making $5000 a week right now.  Just keep reporting the guy and eventually he will get caught.

this called called and stated that I have been on a wanted list for IRS and that there was an arrest warrant out for me. I had the same types of calls last year and it was bogus people trying to scare people and get them to pay. How can I stop them from calling they call like every 30min for god sakes. so irritated and annoyed by this. why cant people just get a life.

These guys would be laughable if they weren't so persistently annoying!  I get several calls a week from them.  I did get through to them once.  Told them I was with the FBI.  They hung up immediately and by the time I hit re-dial, the number had already been disconnected!

Does anybody really believe the IRS outsources its collection enforcement to slumdogs who can barely speak English?

I  also got a call from this number 585-492-8480!!!!!!!!!!
on April 7, 2014 @ 8 am, on my cellular phone, they
left a threaten mess. about IRS taxes and they will
call the cops!  but no name or anything else to identify
themselves or the person to reach. so I ignored, I did called
back, but no answer...
Please be careful with scammers like that!

When I answered nobody was there.

Got the same voicemail yesterday and all this treats doesn't make sense at all, google the number and yes the reviews are helpful.

I had a call 15 min ago. Same like everybody. He was saying that he is from IRS, They are going to arrest me. I need to call my lawyer. So I search this number to Google and everything clear now. Thank you all.

Believe, the way the scam works is that most people will click to return the call right away. These calls have massive per min charges through your cellular services ( third party billing) Never return call from number that you do not recognize anymore.

he call me few time left voice mail today i pick up his call he tell me same thing fraud IRS ect.. so i ask him if its anything have to do with IRS i should get letter he say he trying to reach me 18th moths send me mail i never get no mail also i start getting his call since april 1st . i have law office next door first day when i get voice mail i get nervous then they say its fake call ... but its really scarily .

Got the same call as everyone else today. He was threatening legal action for IRS fraud and wanted to speak to me or my lawyer or I would be arrested. He called a month or so ago too, but I just ignored it. If you get a threatening message from someone at this number you should disregard it completely!

i came back from work and retrieve my phone message **the message stated that  it was important to return the call..his name was officer frank and that if i do not return the call that i will be hearing from a lawyer and good luck to me

This one sounds more like extortion scam..

I got the same theratning massages as above saying that I have a fraught tax dealing and he would lie to speak to me or my lawer, if I don't return the call and ignore it the cops will be there to arrest me, on my answering phone. I think this guy must be mad he needs to be in a mad house for treatment. He must be working or worked at Global Crossing LocalServices Inc., in Arcade. Ny 14009 and using the phone to creat a problem for the company which may be,he is no longer working.

I got it too. Twice now.  Am submitting it on the FBI tip line now.

These people are scammers who take the name of IRS and want Green dot money pak.  unfortunately, the company green dot money pak knows about the scam and does not cooperate in catching these scammers.  

He called today. Lately thrre has been several calls. Once my wife started confronting him he started using abusive words..

The only thing you can do call 1800-366-4484 to rebort him to IRS and they will take it from there

I saw a missed call from  number 1 818 175 8836 . The person left a threatening voicemail about us being charged with tax fraud and that there was an arrest warrant out there for us and that they had been trying to reach us for several months. The message said to either call back or have our attorney call back at 585 492 8480 number.I had received a similar call about a month back. Not sure why this person is making prank calls. Can this be stopped somehow?

I received the same threatening call/message today. I happened to check this thread while on the call. He know my name and nothing else. When I asked him if this was real IRS or some prank call, he threatened again asking me to wait for the local police to reach out to me and hung up.

Same number - 585-492-8480
