I RECEIVED TWO VOICE MAILS FROM THIS NUMBER BOTH MESSAGES WHERE LEFT WITH DIFFERENT NAMES BUT VOICE SOUNDED THE SAME.  THE VOICE MAIL STATES HE IS AN OFFICER FROM THE IRS AND IS VERY CRUCIAL THAT I RETURN HIS CALL AND HE WISHES ME "GOOD LUCK".  I CONTACTED MY TAX PREPARER WHOM CALLED THE NUMBER BUT THE CALL DOES NOT GO THROUGH.  

                                                                      DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!

IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH YOUR TAX RETURN OR YOU HAVE A DEBT WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) YOU WILL RECEIVE AND OFFICIAL LETTER EXPLAINING THE CHANGES THE IRS HAS MADE TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
PLEASE....DO NOT GIVE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION OUT!
ALSO, EVERY TIME YOU CONTACT THE IRS OR IF AN AGENT (NOT AN OFFICER) CALLS YOU, HE OR SHE WILL STATE THEIR LAST NAME AND THEIR AGENT ID # AND A LEGIT NUMBER WHERE YOU CAN RETURN THE CALL.

I Just spoke a guy name Robert Patrick from IRS. He called and left couple of messages today. He kept telling me the same story. He threated me that I get involved with check crime. He wanted to speak to my lawyer. When I asked questions about my personal information, He couldn't answer all my questions. All he knew was my name and my phone number. I asked him to send me official letter regarding about this situation by mail. But he refused it. The funny thing is I don't even write or use checks. Be aware !

Received a threatening phone call from "officer Adams" from 716-335-7766. Said if I did not return the phone call there was nothing that he could do to help me and I was on my own.

Just got a threatening call from 716-335-7766.  It's a complete scam.  Beware!

Got a call this morning from 716-335-7766 that sounded like a prerecorded message. Message said from an IRS officer named Adam Scott and asked me or attorney of record to call back to the aforementioned number. This person has a thick foreign Indian accent. Left message that if I do not call back then good luck to me. DO NOT CALL BACK. IT IS A SCAM.

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.
