Same thing - my mother got a call this morning from Tony Foster, Mike Jones and Tom Michelle - all claiming to be from the IRS and needed to pay otherwise be arrested and all her property taken.  Put these guys in jail, I'm sure other people have been taken by this scam..... call back the 888-508-0149 and they answer "IRS" - I thought that impersonating the IRS and extortion illegal?!?!?!?

This number keeps calling my parents house saying that they will be arrested if they don't do what the "irs" is saying. I called and told them they are scam artists and needed to get real jobs, he proceeded to ask me if he could see my private parts (the words he used were very vulgar) it's safe to say that this is not the IRS but some do***e bags that need a life. I wish there was a way to report them to the authorities because they call over 4 times a day.

Call them back and bother the hell out of them. I did and they take phone off the hook and are getting clearly frustrated.

*60 then the number to block them on some carriers

Yes....keep calling them back....they get mad when you throw it back in their face.

This guy called twice, left two messages, and freaked my mom out.  He gave his name (garbled), said he was from the Internal Revenue Service, then spelled out IRS.  He left this phone number 888-508-7967.  and said that if she didn't call back, she would be arrested!  I am glad I googled, and found this page.  You'd think with all the power the government has over phone tracking, they would go after a***oles like this one...

(but no, there is no money in that!)

Keep calling the number back and piss them off like I've been doing....if we all do it they will at least changer their number....it's annoying them...keep calling them back and hang up or yell s*** at them.

Someone called from same number ... He told me that He is officer Mike Jones. An thick Indian accent and same thing as the other people have mentioned about IRS and owing money.I told him that I heard from your fraud and scam phone calls . stop calling me . He said are you insulting the IRS ? I hung up on him .

I just had 2 back to back calls from this number and the same message was left on my VM. An thick Indian accent and same thing as the other people have mentioned about IRS and owing money. I deleted the messages.
It is getting very annoying. Can anybody do anything about it?

I got a call day. he said his name is Mike Davis  with Indian accent.  He said I'm with IRS. I told him Are you joking? he said if I do not listen to him he is going to call police. I told him go head and he hung up.

Called my parents. Reported he was from the IRS. Indian accent with the name andrew Hamilton. Said not to tell anyone about the conversation. When parents refused not to give him cash, he said that he is sending the sheif over. When the "cops" called my parents they Threatened to kill my parents.  There were sirens in the background noise. We called the calls to report the incident.  

Same as some others.  Caller harassing my elderly mother about my "tax fraud".  Man with Indian accent saying he is Frank Marshall with the IRS when I called to on font him.  Does anyone know if this is one of those numbers that charge ou lots of money when you dial the number?

FOLLOW UP - The IRS website warns of a phone scam where they try to convince you to settle your debt to the IRS. You can report them to the IRS as follows:

From IRS.GOV:  "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 (http://apps.irs.gov/app/scripts/exit.jsp?dest=http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/) at 1.800.366.4484."

I hope they find these fraudsters.

They called a few times today, after having tried several times in the past. ONce they left a vmail and today I decided to answer it. The man with the Indian accent claimed to be with the IRS. I thought it is a felony to impersonate someone at the IRS (or similar agency).

From this number a message left claiming to be an auditor from IRS saying that I'm about to be arrested because of tax fraud. Asking me to return call immediately.  

I called back and the person identified himself as Kevin Rogers, an IRS auditor, asking my phone number and couldn't find records for my case. He said he will call back and haven't heard from him again.

I checked on IRS website and found this following announcement:

We just got a call from this number (at 7:30 a.m.!). It went to our answering machine. The guy said his name was Steve White and that he was with the IRS.  He used my husband's name, saying there is a legal complaint against him for tax fraud and that if the matter wasn't resolved immediately our local police (named the state and citiy where we live) would arrest him. I recognized it as a scam but it was disconcerting to hear our name and city used. The caller had a difficult to understand accent, although it was NOT an Indian accent. His first language is more likely an Eastern European or Asian language. He was working hard to emphasize his "Rs".
 He finished with "Kindly call us back, at the toll free number 888-508-7967. Thank you and have a blessed day"

I had such a call before,IRS never call people for money. do not give any personal infurmation ,just do not answer and dont talk to this people at all.

Received several messages from this number from an Indian accented guy stating I needed to return the call regarding IRS issues before a legal action is taken against me. I looked up the legitimate IRS numbers online and didn't find any 888 numbers. When I tried to call the above number just to hear what they had to say, a different guy answered saying ,"IRS" and when I asked which dept. of the IRS it was, he suddenly changed his demeanor and said something extremely nasty and hung up.

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.

I had the same situation.  Calling from IRS  "Tax Audit department" 888-508-7967 from Allison Hamilton then Robert Marshall- both were male operators sounding like Indian heavy accent. Robert Marshall sounded very agitated when I started to ask for an invoice or bill for  "tax deception" allegation.  He asked me to follow his instruction very carefully. Or, police will arrest me within :45 mins to an hour. (It's been more than 12 hours)  ;-0 He said I had an option to pay $3856 or face 9 months jail time plus $72,000 penalty / court case.
He said he will send all the documents regarding the allegation once i send him the payment!  Boy, did this scare me at one point. I knew it was a scam the moment he asked for the money first then get me "the necessary document"

I know where they are going with this .... HELL!

I got a phone call today also. Some idiot called and said he was fromt he i.r.s and i owed $3400. I told him i want to talk to his supervisor, and the same idiot changed his voice and started to talk to me. The phone number they called from was 888-508-7967. He said his name was Allison Hamilton, whos supervisors name was Bryan Smith. They will try to tell you their badge id and employee id. Its a big scam.. Dont tell them anything

IRS never calls you first, they always send letters initially, and allow you to call them first.

Tell these characters you're reporting them to the IRS, Dept of Treasury and FBI and they'll never call you again.

Another fake irs caller I got 2 calls and he then shut up.

Have been calling my parents asking for someone saying they are from the IRS...yelling at my mom saying 'do you know what IRS is?' Have been looking it up and they've harassed so many people!! I can't believe people like that are out there living off of innocent people's fear and robbing them of money!

This is a total scam. I spoke to someone with a foreign accent who said his name was Tony Foster on the voice message he left at my home. When he called back, he said his name was John Harris. He gave me an address in Washington D.C. and told me he was "done playing games"  when I challenged who he was.

i had the same call today... someone named tony larson.. we knew it was prank as we used to get these a while back... from local number and reported to sheriff... who said pranksters use disposable phone to make these calls... the strange thing for this was they used toll free number and also respond as irs with some recording going. asked there address and told will pay them a visit and get the line tracked..response hung up.

I got a call from this number and the name of the person was Bryan Smith .He also called me last week with the same name but different phone number (888) 508-0325 and asking for my husband..He said he was from IRS and should call him back ASAP.what a joke.He keeps calling every other day i have his number blocked but no luck.How can this be stopped its driving me crazy.

Got several calls from this #  .  The person never actually speaks.
How can this be stopped?

This number is toll free and says its from the IRS and wanting me to call them before any action is taken. Calling several times and leaves messages

I also received a phone call from this number, but I will not be calling it back.  I would report it to the annoyance hotline.  There are numbers that can actually get a hold of your information and actually make charges in your name if you call them back.  Not sure if this is one of those or not, but I'd rather not take my chances!

Received many messages from guy with Indian accent purporting to let me know of a "legal petition" against my name. Sounds completely like a fraud. Tried calling back to warn them to stop calling me but no answer.
