• Jul 08, 2023

I was contacted via an Indeed Ad for a customer service position with the Internal Revenue Service. I was emailed a form to compete and provide my personal info such as name, SSN etc. I was then referred to reach out to said representative DANIELLE BETHUNE-BERGERON regarding next steps . She then forwarded my a Link for ID.Me website which after I identified myself , the website began to crash.

- Greenville, SC, USA

Stated they were the IRS and they were going to arrest me and I will be in jail for up to 4 years. I had filed my taxes wrong.

- Chesnee, SC, USA

I owe taxes and they are going to lock me up if I don't pay. This is a scam.

THESE PEOPLE CALLED AND THREATENED TO HAVE ME ARRESTED FOR SOMETHING WRONG ON MY TAXES IF I DID NOT RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE NOT RESPONDED BUT THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED!!!! I KNOW ITS A SCAM IRS DOES NOT

CALL AND DO THAT. PLEASE CHECK IN TO QUICKLY BEFORE THEY SCAM SOME INNOCENT PEOPLE AND SKIP TOWN.

Received call saying they were calling from IRS fraud division and that I would be arrested if I did not respond immediately. It gave the listed phone number above. Even though I answered the phone, I could tell it was a recorded message.

- Wichita Falls, TX, USA

I've gotten this call a few times. Usually they say they will "report me to tge local cops" and this time "I and my property were under surveillance". I called back this time and the line was a Google Voice number and the person who answered said they were an agent with the IRS. I called the police and they said the IRS doesn't call people and wouldn't use Google Voice.

- Amarillo, TX, USA

Phone call for an arrest warrant if not paid

- Studley, VA, USA

They took all of my money.

- Moseley, VA, USA

A phone call and later a text indicating that I was going to have a lawsuit filed by the IRS on me and to call 914-620-8481

- Greenville, SC, USA

Recording wanted me to call the number back. They are going arrest me if I don't call back

Said they were from IRS and I had a Warrant out for my arrest for making a fraudulent State Tax claim. Said Please call Telephone #029965164 wherever that may be.

So I did not respond because I am retired and even when I worked I didn't claim on my W-2 tax forms any state taxes because Texas does not require me to pay state taxes. So I have never had to claim any state taxes on my W-2 forms to make a fraudulent claim. I have received this same call about 4 times over about 3 years with the same accusation. IRS does not use this method to contact a person anyway. As for as I know this is as accurate as I could be for this is a message left on my answering machine and a little hard to understand but enough to know it was a scam.

- Ponca City, OK, USA

This is the transcript of the voicemail left on my phone. I do not answer unknown calls for this very reason. I am also attaching a copy of the actual voicemail to this report. “Officially a final notice from the IRS. The nature and the purpose of this call is to inform you that we have received legal petition notice concerning a tax fraud against you. So before this matter goes to the Federal claims court house or before you get arrested, please call immediately on our department number 804-800-7004. Make sure you call us as soon as possible! Again this is Officer Steve Parker from the internal revenue services.”

- North Garden, VA, USA

Received a call today. It was a recording which started by saying "This call is officially a final notice from the IRS ... " at which point I hung up. The call log gave the number 1-210-607-8230 and the name "Janice Stickle." Below, you require an answer to "Did the scammer attempt to take money?" I was forced to say yet, though I hung up before hearing the entire pitch.

- Piedmont, SC, USA

I received a phone call on 9/29/2017 from the listed number (above) on my cell phone and was unable to answer it. The message left stated, "to inform you that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against you. To get more information about this case file, please call immediately on our department number 803-626-1417. I repeat, 803-626-1417. Thank you". I knew IRS would not contact me this way so I googled the number which is registered as a landline phone in Rock Hill, SC.

Sitting at home watch news a phone call comes in I pick up but never speak unfamiliar with the number it comes up and say this you need to call 202 834 6152 or you will be arrested a recording not a live person so not sure this is a scam but I don't think IRS call u or do they thanks you the Washington DC # . They repeat twice then hang up

- Wellford, SC, USA

State they are filing a lawsuit against me. They will not contact me anyone. Called the number and it was busy.

- Pauline, SC, USA

i keep getting call stating they are from the irs stating they have a case file against me and have turned over to the local law. said the spartanburg police will be coming to my house to arrest me.......sorry but i know better. i even told them they were a scam,that the irs does not work that way. on several other times i even told them to have the police come i am waiting. they always hang up

- Fort Collins, CO, USA

Received phone call bout a lawsuit by the IRS. Knowing that the IRS does not call you, I hung up and retrieved caller's number.

- Chester, VA, USA

An automated system called and said I had a warrant out for my arrest due to tax fraud. It stated I owned money to the IRS and I would be arrested. After calling the number back a man picked up and said, "thanks for calling IRS, how can I help you." This immediately prompted me to hang up due to its fraudulence.

Received 2 identical phone calls with the same message indicating I had four serious IRS allegations and needed to contact IRS Investigative team as soon as possible. If I didn't follow-up within 24 working hours to discuss allegations, local police would arrive at my house and take me into custody.
