The person who called thereten to put in jail in 2.5hrs. for min.of 3 weeks, and said that IRS didn't got some money.  Found it is a scam.

got the same message today. Idiots. The person who let me a message had an Indian accent. I did called back. There was a women with the Indian accent saying that I own money to IRS. I did not understand the half what she was saying. I freaked out. My husband did check the number and it turned out to be a scam.

I recieved the same call today.  The background noise, and woman's voice with acsent told me about  
me having the fraud with IRS.  She said I have debt $3565 and even gave me the # of case.  She insisted they send me mailing request 3 times and verified my address.  I was scared to death, but, thank god, my daughter-in-law find this site. I would never gess it could be such scam!  Unbelivable!

I received the voice message from this number 6/4/14. The man with indian accent named himself as officer Jonathan Rich from IRS. Next day I called the number and the man said I owed a large amount of money to IRS for tax fraud in 2008-2012 and there is open "court" case. Then he described awful consequences if I do not pay and offered help. The call was very noisy such I could not understand many phrases. Then I found this site.

Aar, same exact call, same exact woman, same exact message. Not to worry!

I got the same call on 27th on my landline: I rarely check my landline messages as everyone who wants to talk to me calls my cell. I was checking the VM and this woman: Emily Pearson: sounds like a black lady, with some background noise, said my name, and said they have received a legal complaint in my name for tax fraud and if dont contact her soon, there will be an arrest warrant sent out. Given that its 30th night, I, like one of the guys above, nearly had a heart attack. I checked IRS website and saw the same press release:
http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm

Then a friend told me to google the number and here I am. Nasty b*****ds.

This phone number is a SCAM!   Please report them.  We need to stop them if we can.  I received a message today from this phone number, but it was for another person.  I also received a call about a month ago from a 415 area code.  In that message, they did have my name.  I knew it was scam, so I did not call them back.  REMEMBER - the IRS will never call you to demand money.  They only send letters.

IR-2013-84, Oct. 31, 2013

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.

Had a message from David Myers!, called him back today. Spoke with a guys with an Indian accent (David Myers!!). Son of a bi*** almost gave me a heart-attack.

I've got the call from this number they accent was a Chinese guy who said he is from Federal government and I did a fraud with Feds and they are coming to arrest me in 45 minutes, I was really scared and left my home for one and half hour

Got two calls from this number saying IRS have been audited my tax documents and sent the certified mails on this issue for 2010, 2012 and Jan 2014 which were all returned by USPS. (They said they have proof.)   Initial caller was man and switched his boss, lady.
They said tax were miss calculated and I owe $6930 in total and if I will not pay now I will be arrested within 48 hours.(I'm very much scared.)   I told I am not preparing the tax documents and my CPA will call you. During first and second call I have contacted my CPA and found this is a scam call...

We also got a call from this number.  I did some investigation. These guys are using a Magic Jack phone and are calling from a call center in India.  THEY ARE A BIG TIME SCAM !!!!!

>>> The callers are calling from India possibly a call center whose main purpose is to scam. <<<

It has been reported that some Indian users of magicJacks are individuals who play loud tapes in the background during their scam calls.  Playing tapes in the background resembling the sounds heard from a call center makes their operations seem bigger than the are.

We were similarly targeted. I have done some research.  This is a majicjack number.  The callers are calling from India possibly a call center whose main purpose is to scam.

some body call from this number to my home number saying i have done irs fraud, so there is  law suite against me , the person has was not speaking proper english, then i call them to find out whats going on. the person told that irs audit me and i did not pay 9000 thousand, so pay now or got penalty of $ 32000.
