I got the same message stating they were from the IRS. First of all they don't call you. You will receive a certified letter from them. Also, the area code isn't connected with an IRS office. Don't be intimidated by these low life scums. They pray on honest people who hear IRS & panic.

Definitely a scam lol I knew instantly and thought it would be a great idea to tell him that I'm a cop and am tracking his location. He started to get angry and kept asking if I was going to pay and he kept reading off of his script saying how if I didn't pay I'd have a warrant out for my attest. so after 30mins of making him talk in circles, he finally hung up on me. DON'T BUY INTO THESE SCAMS PEOPLE

If the government did indeed outsource its employment to India we would be in MUCH bigger trouble than I would be for the alleged $24,000 I owe the government (from the time that I was 16-22 apparently...installing volleyball nets for a living and going to college).

I also got a call today from "the IRS." When I called back, he stated that there was an error on my 2013 tax forms and that I owed $2,400. He then and asked if it was intentional or not. I said absolutely not, but then he said nothing after that. I asked if he was there after that and just heard a bunch of background noise. I googled the phone number and came across this page, that seems to echo the same script they are telling ppl about the $2,400.

My story is exactly the same as RCL. Thought it was a scam but had to verify. A heavily accented individual claiming to be an officer of the IRS answered the phone. Question, isn't misrepresentation of a federal employee a federal offense? This is actually my first experience with this type of scam. Although venting with fellow scammies is rewarding, I sure would like to be able to get people like this in a much more official way. Unfortunately they know it is next to impossible to do so which makes it even more annoying!
