Big Scam. I have been calling them every morning for the last two weeks. After they tell me i will be arrested at that point i tell them to F--k off. I have never been hang up on so quickly. The last couple of time i have called and given them my case file they hang up. I guess there are on to me.

They have been calling me since Monday, and they are kept silenced on their end then hanged up. Now I know who they are and let the phone rings as long as it can be -SCAMMER.

They left a voicemail stating that I or my attorney must return this call. I enjoy screwing with jerk weasels so I called them back. A guy with a thick Indian accent answers "Internal Revenue Service". I said that I would neuter him if anyone from his organization ever called me again.

ALL THE SAME AS ABOVE...
I have to say they did scare me at first then once I started talking to them I figured it out and put the number that called me in the computer and I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE IT HAS HAPPENED TOO......
SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP!!
They told me I owed 2,526.42 EXACTLY....
AND IT HAD TO BE PAYED TODAY!!
RIGHT THEN OR I WOULD BE ARRESTED IN 30 MINUTES..!!!!
AT MY WORK OR AT HOME!!!!!!!!
IT WAS AROOUND 12:15PM..TODAY!!!
I WAS ON MY LUNCH HOUR...!!!!!!
SO IT IS ALMOST 1 NOW..???
I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE POLICE....LMAO
They gave me a case number and said they are done sending me letters and if I do not pay the full amount right then I will go to jail and it is a CRIMINAL CASE!!!!
The lady who I spoke with 1st read the accusations against me and then the "officer" who had my case assigned got on the phone and it was a man with a THICK ACCENT..SO DID THE WOMEN...
I could BARELY understand either one of them..
they could scare a elderly person and they just might pay instead of going to JAIL!!!
WTF?????
THEY SHOULD ALLLLLLL BE IN JAIL!!!!

Same issue as others. Called and left voicemail claiming to be 'Internal Revenue Services" and urgent legal action was pending against me. My case number was PH762945. Message said "(me) or (my) legal representative" must call back immediately. Voice was very broken up like a bad cell connection. I called back (from a non-personal business line) and was on hold, with estimated wait times ever-increasing. I hung up after 11 minutes and the wait time increased from 1 minute to 10 minutes (gradually).

It bothers them back to call and just tell them you miss them calling about 12 times in a roll. The guys can help you just say "how are you, my day has been great thought you might want to know since you haven't called in like an hour" , seems to upset them and they hang up. but repeat calls is fun to annoy the heck out of these scamming A-holes. Wouldn't it be fun if everyone did this the same day for about 24 hours straight so they could know how irritating they are. Plus their line would be tied up and they would not be able to do the scam for a whole day.

Just received this same call with a recording wishing me luck as my case unfolds. So far second call in two days. Both messages are saved. Makes me sad to think that an elderly or anyone might believe them and drain their savings or something. What is wrong with people these days. Just get a real job or find something you can be proud of. Not steal from others accomplishments because they we actually did something with our lives.

They have called 2 times under different numbers-same speal. The one I got this morning was much more threatening, I think they feel if they call when you're a little out of it you may be more apt to believe them as we all know what it's like to get a call in the morning. It's also easier to put you into a panic. They're going to kill someone who has a heart condition if this doesn't stop. These horrible scamming SOB's. They're using a new number- 202-552-4068.

The moment you receive this message I need you or your retained attorney of records to return the call. The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My phone number is 213-289-3862. Do not disregard this message and do return the call. Now if you don't return the call and I don't hear from your attorney either then the only thing I can do is wish you a good luck as the situation totally unfolds on you. Goodbye.

How do you go about reporting this number? I actually called them back even after reading all these messages because 1. I wanted them to take the number off their calling list... They actually called my place of employment... Business phone..
So I called them back and when they finally answered.. They actually answer.. Internal Revenue Service... So I responded. Ohhh this is.. May I have your Name? He says Charles Reed..I said I also need your IRS identification #.. he rattled off something... He said Mam.. why are you needing all this information. I responded because I want to make sure that I have the correct person to turn into the police with impersonating the IRS. CLICK!!! he hung up on me very quickly...
Soooo If they call you again... You answer the Phone (whatever City your in) Police Department.. How may I help you..

Yes, same deal, a "canned" robotic voice, with a threatening message..... I had not picked up the call, letting it go to voicemail. A few hours later I called it back and when I was transferred to a real person (background noise sounded like a "boiler room") I screamed as loudly as I could right into the mouthpiece of my device. Hung up.
These types of calls have been coming from several different numbers, and states. Figuring if everyone yelled a loud cry into their ears, it might stop. One can hope!

I told them they had a known address in Delhi and that if they didn't comply with a request for business information the investigation would be handled by field officers that would visit their location by the end of business today. They guy on the phone said, "no, we're not IRS, we are the import export office" and denied having already told me they were IRS. I said that we were ready to meet him and would be knocking on their door. He said "come on in, you know nothing" and laughed. Don't fall for these scams.

have received two calls on my cellphone from this shyster. originally they left a voicemail asking me to call back. when I did an eastern-sounding man told me I owed money to the IRS and was being sued. I knew he was lying and told him it was a scam. told him the next time he called, I'd report him to the authorities. these 2 most recent calls had noone at the other end of the line so I just hung up. Saved the number as Bad IRS Scammer.

If I was BIG trouble with the IRS I'm sure I would have gotten several letters first, and I am almost certain they would not leave a broken choppy robotic voice mail to let me know I was in trouble, plus they never mention your name. They just call us 'you'.

Because she is from a trusting generation, the potential for her to have actually called back and give them info was great. Fortunately, the voice mail was spotty so I had to listen to it several times to actually hear the number to call, While I have many times told her to not give info out over the phone to ANYONE, I cannot help but worry with these fools being as pushy and using the scare tactics that they are apparently using.
