I almost fell for it!!  This is a scam!!  Went to the police and checked it all out!!  The scammer under the name: Danny Archer Employee ID#02801 tried to say that I owe the Fed's $1284.85 and that an arrest warrant was out for me and that my credit score will drop 200 points...  He stayed on the phone with me all the way to the bank then to the store to get the money sent, yes I went that far with them until the lady behind the desk spotted what was going on and stopped me.   When I asked for ways to confirm this was legit and he gave me these # to call; 510-545-7912 and 202-506-8020.  The original call was from 917-652-8604.  Another name used was Michelle Jones.

Received a call from this number on my cell phone.  I let it go to voice mail not recognizing it. Checked the voice mail and was told by a man with a thick accent that he was from the department of legal affairs and needed to speak to me about an urgent matter.  The background sounded very busy.
I blocked the number and didn't call back.

These people have called my 89 year old father saying they're from the U.S. Dept of Treasury legal affairs department and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.  And, if we don't pay $500 "today" over the phone the sheriff is going to come to his house and arrest him. Said they sent papers 3 weeks ago.  I've called them back several times and they hang up on me.  Will contact the Attorney General's office immediately.

I just received a phone call from this number at 7:30am pst. First a "Process Server" called and instructed me I needed to call the 917 number listed above immediately as I have a case pending against me from the Treasury Department. I then called number back and spoke to Michelle Jones who tried to get me to pay $1,284 immediately to stop a warrant being issued for my arrest and that if I didn't comply I could be arrested up to six months with no bail if I didn't pay this amount as well as arrange a payment arrangement with them today. I put her off and said I needed to check with my bank regarding if I had the funds available to do that and immediately called the IRS line that I already have been dealing with. They instructed me that my case is currently under review with their collections department and that this is a scam and to report it as soon as I could.

Same phone, same nonsense scripted crap. I actually spoke with Michelle and told her that obviously its a scam because I have my files saved right on comp for backup reference and then she gives me bogus figures not matching mine at all, basically told her to go f*** herself and hung up. Also indian and just like the people above had said, IRS wouldnt outsource calls like this, especially to a person who barely can pronounce the english language. Fake crap, got me fumming, and they called while I was at a damn baseball game, the nerve.

Quick update. A-hole called back again and mocked me regarding my sons death. Decided to answer the next three calls using an old police whistle. Guess I got my point across. Hasn't called back. May be worth a trip to a local store for a sports whistle. :-)

A-hole called twice today and left a message for my son. Same game. Legal action on the part of the Treasury Dept. (didn't know we were outsourcing to India). I called him back to let him know my son died last year. At least he had the decency to express his condolences.

Everyone I talked too tells me to disreguard as its a scam but with all the trouble of our own gov. spying on us I can't help worrying I hope and pray someone puts a stop to them soon.

Got a call every day this week, including Sunday, saying they are from Department of Legal Affairs regarding action against me and that if I could not call them back I needed my attorney.  It was very apparent to me this was a scam, because it was so loud in the background with people talking each time they left a message, and it is the same person.  It also seems evident that this is being done out of the country because he could barely speak english and talked very slow.  Each time he leaves a voicemail, it is the exact same conversation without missing a beat, so it was obviously scripted.  The whole thing made me google this and found out this is indeed a scam!  I live in the west coast, and this comes from the 917-652-8604 number every time.  Not sure how to tell them to step off!!!!!!!!

Prank Call
I got a called from a number 971-652-8604 saying something about a case against me from the IRS, I barely understood him because he had a heavy accent. So I told him why didn't I receive anything on the mail, he just said that I needed and attorney and to call this number which was the same number (dumb head) and talked to a Michelle Jones. I did not have time to call back that day so he left me another voice mail again saying something about the Dpt. of legal affairs. I looked it up on line, found out this number is a cell phone and that this is a scam. I reported it to the police and sent him a text saying to stop calling me because I had informed the police about this fraud call.

They ("Michelle Jones") claimed to be a U.S. Treasury Department calling about litigation being filed against my 89 year old mother for "back taxes."  Most definitely a hoax!!!  We are reporting this matter to the Indiana Attorney General.

Called twice. Left a message saying name was James Synder or something along those lines. Had a thick Indian accent, and said he was with legal affairs. I'm currently waiting DSS to award me custody of my niece so naturally I called back immediately. Told me I had a warrant for my arrest. I asked for what? Said IRS filed a lawsuit against me and I'd better contact a lawyer. I said a lawsuit about what? He said I failed to file my taxes in 2010. So I snapped back with in 2010, I was 18 in high school, pregnant and working. I remember filing my taxes because it was the first time I had ever had a job so you're obviously incorrect. He asked why I wasn't on a "payment plan". I said listen I've never been notified of this and I'm pretty sure they can't jut ISSUE a warrent like this. Idled have to be notified of the debt I owed before legal action can be taken. He said I'll have to look at your file and call you back. I said yeah you do that. Hung up and blocked the number. I love this website! Keeps me on my toes!

I received twice a message from 917-652-8604,  he said he was from the Dept. Of Legal Affairs. He told me to get a lawyer. I screen my calls so I never answered it. He left at both times messages. I'm 62 years old and I did believe him at first...I thought it had to do with a bill I owe. I had my son listen to the message and he told me that it sounds like the scam that they mentioned on the news awhile back. That the news said to beware of 917 prefix.
I'm glad I found this site to see that I'm not alone...now I have gone from worried to angry. Not only am I 62 but I'm a recent widow.

Starting this past Friday I started receiving these calls. A man with a heavy middle eastern accent claiming to be an agent with the Treasury Dept. left me a message asking me to return his call immediately, or to have my attorney do so on my behalf. He explained that it was regarding a judgment against me and that a warrant has been issued for my arrest. I returned the call, and asked for this person, but I was not passed on to him, rather talked to another person and had to listen to the exact same spiel as was left in the message. Verbatim. I was passed on to several different people as I asked questions, all with heavy accents claiming to be in different positions of authority. I talked with a Steve Jones, Eric Johnson, and Kevin Smith, and I forget if there were others. Curiously they all had thick accents. They said this was not a collection call, that it was too late to pay, but rather a plea for me to turn myself in before I am arrested. There were also claims that my bank accounts have been seized. When I asked them where I am supposed to turn myself in, they told me that they would be willing to work out a payment plan if I would give them a $4000 down payment, that they could accept no less. I knew it was a scam and told them to get lost. They then asked if I didn?t have $4000, how much could I put down? At one point in the conversation with one of them, they broke into profanities with me. The calls have resumed this morning, including two new voice messages for two different people, but the same exact spiel I received on Friday. Horrible, evil people out there. I have been advised to file a report with the FBI, which I will do next. I urge anyone who gets these calls do the same, so these despicable people can be taken down.

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.
