On March 7, 2017, I received a telephone call from a Lewis Lerner who provide a badge number of GS1917. She also provided a case file number CCB501. She stated that she was calling about tax invasion and that I owed the government $4,700.00 and it was for the years 2010 - 2015. She wanted to know how I wanted to solve this issue, in court or out of court; at that point I told her that I was on disability. At that time she passed the call on to a head officer; however, I could not understand his name. He stated that the batch number I put in for my employer did not match up with the system. I stated to him that I was on disability for those years and that I am still on disability. He said, how would you like to resolve this, in court or out of court. He said I had to pay 15% of the total or I would have to obtain a criminal attorney and I would spend five years in prison. I said I could not pay, what I receive each month is what I need to pay my bills. He said a warrant will be issued for my arrest and he asked if I understood that and I said yes, I guess so. He then stated ok, have a nice day.

I never answered the phone because I have a monitoring service telling me the number was a potential scam. Two numbers left a message saying there was a problem with my tax filing and I needed to call them back. I never did.

Message left on my answer machine from man named Ron Martin (not real name)said IRS was suing me for back taxes, filing fraudulent returns and some others, He said Attorney James O'Conner (also false) was issuing a warrant for my arrest in Federal Court House and local authorities would be at my home within two hours to arrest me and I would not be able to post bond until I had a court date. I was scared. He said unless I settled out of court by paying $2,986.73 immediately I would be arrested and held without bond TODAY! He gave me ID# IRM5347 and Case #TDS5616. I asked him to repeat the info and his name, he gave me a different name of "Steven", I said "I thought your name was "Ron" which he replied "sorry, he was talking with someone else....I smelled a rat at this point!!! I told Ron-Steven or whatever his name was, I did not have that amount of money, he then asked did I have $1000.00, I said I only had $8.00 in my checking and no savings account, he mumbled a few words than hung up. I called back but got hung up on again. I called using a different phone and asked for "Ron Martin" but they recognized my voice and hung up again. SCAM!!!!!
Caller: Ron Martin or Steven

Also…I received a call at my home from 408-809-3453 stating that the IRS had a law-suit against me and I was supposed to call them back??
I know the IRS wouldn’t call, but in the event of an issue, they would send a registered letter.
I received three more calls yesterday from the same 408------number talking about a lawsuit against me.

Said that IRS records are different from my tax return. I owed the IRS $1478 in taxes, penalties, and court fines. They said that they would confiscate my bank accounts and etc. They asked if I willfully or unknowingly cheated on my taxes. They asked if I wanted to settle outside of court or did I want to go to court tomorrow? They said that they would send the law to arrest me within 45 minutes. No one showed up.

Received two automated calls on 3-3-2016 from the listed phone call- We have been trying to reach you. This is the Internal Revenue Services and you owe money and we are going to file a lawsuit. (paraphrasing)
We hung up at that point. My husband answered the first call about 9:00 A.M. and I answered the second call at about 11:00 A.M.

Received a recorded message saying this was the third and final call to collect a debt to the IRS. They said I should call them back to make payment arrangements. I don't owe the IRS any money, so I know it is a scam. I hung up the first call part way through the message, since I had received some of these several months ago and knew of the scam.
An hour and seven minutes later, I received another call from the same number. I let it go to voicemail. An hour and 4 minutes later, I received a 3rd call, which I selected to send straight to voice mail. The machine does not leave a message.
