Received a call stating there was an inquiry against me. Voice recording said to call 305-712-7729. Called phone number and it was a gentleman with an accent. Answered this is the IRS, thank you for calling. When I questioned who they were and stated the IRS does not call you, he hung up.

CountryUnited States Type of a scamTax Collection
Just received a recorded message that said that the IRS was filing a law suite against me & I needed to call 646-417-9553 back as soon as possible. When I did he said he was an officer for the IRS & started asking me my name & I said that if the IRS was looking for me than he would already know that. When I started asking him what this was about & how come the IRS did not notify me by mail he started saying just a moment & I will look into this. Then when I said that this was a scam and I was going to report them he hung up. Please let every one out there know what is going on. I do not believe that the IRS would 1 - be calling me on my cell & 2 - be calling me at all. If you can look into this perhaps we can get the proper authorities to also look into this & shut them down. Thanks.

I received 2 messages from the IRS stating that I needed to callback as there was a pending lawsuit. As soon as I got a person I told them that it was a scam and that the IRS does not call people with information like that.

I did not answer the call. The caller left a voice mail claiming to be the IRS and said I should call back immediately. I have received a few of these calls before and have blocked the number so they couldn't call back. Apparently, they have several lines. I am aware that this is a scam due to warnings in the news. So, I didn't fall for it, but I can see how others would.

I was called by a number similar to my company's phone numbers that I work for and was notified by "Officer Branda Garmin" that I was "under investigation by the IRS" for some serious allegations. After she continued on about the allegations I was facing and told me that I owe the IRS over $3,000, it became clear it was a scam. She then transferred me to "the most senior agent at the IRS" and recommended that I be polite and receptive to him or that I would be in trouble. Once transferred to him, he was even more aggressive and rude and threatened to send the police to my place of employment. And to that threat I said he better bring the SWAT team with him and at that point he hung up and it was over.

Scammer's phone386-518-0608 Type of a scamTax Collection
Someone calling themselves officer Nitzwalker with a badge number of IRM1129
informed me that the IRS had a lawsuit against me. They had my address down. I didn't have to give them that.
They spoke with an accent from India.
They said there were charges against me and that there was a warrant out for my arrest concerning taxes that I did not pay from 2011 to 2015.
I was to be quite while he read the legal charges against me. I could hear enough at the end of it that I could hear him say
I was going to be kept from deporting from the country, could not leave for 5 years and that I could go down to the federal court house or pay off the fine right now. Which one would I rather do?
I asked to speak with someone that I could understand and they hung up on me.

First time they left a message stating I was part of a lawsuit being filed on my behalf. The second call message was so broken the words were unrecognizable. Then, my husband used his phone to call them and after many rings a man answered and said, "This is the IRS...". My husband heard voices in a foreign language speaking in the background and in a short amount of time they disconnected the call.

I received several calls from the "IRS" stating that there was a lawsuit against me, and that I needed to pay them money in order to get all of this resolved. The first time they called, I received a voicemail on my phone from the # (201)-948-1016. This was a general message saying that they were from the IRS, they mentioned the lawsuit, and asked for a call back. I did call them back just to see what was going on. The man that I spoke to said that they needed to confirm some information, and asked me for my address and social security number. I said that I didn't feel comfortable giving this information to them, and he immediately hung up.
I received another telephone call from the # (609)-756-1332, who said his name was Samuel Martin, who said he was calling again from the IRS. He was different than who I had previously talked to. He was very rude and told me that he would continue to call me until I gave him my social security number and address, so that this issue could be resolved. This was definitely a red flag for me, and I knew that this was a scam.
