Foreign criminals will often use famous names for their scams: James Olson? Try "Jimmy Olson", Superman's pal. I'm sure you know, The IRS will not call you unless you call them first. They also do not threaten you on the phone, they send you a letter.

Got a phone call from this number 716-210-8027 from a James Olson claiming to be from IRS and threatened with dire consequences if I do not call back.  I guess it is a scam.

Got the 4 calls from the same number 716-210-8027 and he was claiming to be an IRS Officer..

Same message as above, twice in a 6 hour period, including a very early morning call. I am reporting to the IRS, the Federal Trade Commission and blocking the number through my phone service provider.

received call from someone claiming to be an IRS police officer - this is a scam being conducted on immigrants or people they think are immigrants. said they were coming to arrest me. IRS or any police don't call people before they do that, do they?

Just now received the call, need to talk to the police regarding this.  Identified himself as an officer from IRS

Guy called claiming he was IRS agent.  Doubt he was.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

Got the same msg, in so many words, as all the above people are saying!!!

same message - Voicemail from (716) 210-8027  
"The matter at hand is extremely time sensitive and very urgent. This is officer James Olson calling you from IRS and direct hotline to my division is 7162108027. I repeat it's 71621808827. They'll disregard this message and do return the call now. If I don't hear from you or your attorney either the only thing I can do is wish you a good luck as the situation unfolds upon you. Goodbye and take care."  

called the idiots...asked them to send me the information in writing, no response.

Same call came today, claiming himself an IRS officer. Same message as many people have received. This was fourth or fifth call using different no. What will stop these calls ? He had an accent so unable to understand his name. Total scam.

This is the message on my voicemail
"The matter at hand is extremely time senstive and very urgent.This is Officer James Salson (?) calling you from IRS and direct hotlines to my division is 716-210-8027. I repeat its 716-210-8027. Don't disregard this message and XXX (?) the call. Now, if I don't hear from you or your attorney either the only thing I can do is wish you a good luck as this situation unfolds upon you. Goodbye and take care

I also received a Phishing call from an individual claiming to be an IRS agent.  This individual was male with a noticeable accent.  The following is the transcript from the call:

"The matter at hand is extremely time sensitive and very urgent.  This is officer James Olson calling you from IRS indirect hotline to my division is 716-210-8027 I repeat 716-210-8027 don't disregard this message if I don't hear from you or your attorney all I can do is wish you a good luck if this situation unfolds upon you, good bye and take care".

The individual making these calls is violating Federal law by impersonating a government employee.  If you received this call please file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

File the complaint as "Imposter Scams"

Got the same call. Total BS.

I just received a voice message from this number, too. The caller claimed to be calling from the IRS. This is "phishing." See the following from the IRS -- http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Warns-of-Pervasive-Telephone-Scam.

This is the message on my voicemail.
"The matter at hand is extremely time senstive and very urgent.This is Officer James Salson (?) calling you from IRS and direct hotlines to my division is 716-210-8027. I repeat its 716-210-8027. Don't disregard this message and XXX (?) the call. Now, if I don't hear from you or your attorney either the only thing I can do is wish you a good luck as this situation unfolds upon you. Goodbye and take care."

I got the same message yesterday. The caller left a voicemail claiming to be an IRS agent and trying to scare me into calling back.

I received a call from this number at 6:33 this morning claiming to be an IRS agent he had a foreign accent and could not even pronounce all the words he was saying properly

Received a call today from this number. Stated he was "officer David Salsin" with the IRS. Again, repeating "dire consequences" if we did not return call and address situation.  I am on the Do Not Call list - is anyone following up on these people and addressing these prank calls?

Just got a phone call from this number. Guy left a message claiming to be an IRS officer and threatened with dire consequences if we did not return his call. I hope these kind of calls and these people could be traced and apprehended.
