Scammer's address130 S. Elmwood Avenue, Suite 100, Buffalo, NY 14202, USA Scammer's email[email protected] Type of a scamTax Collection
Call received stating it was the IRS and that they had (5) legal counts of fraud, possibly tax evasion against my brother. He was given a number to call (716) 961-5100 which was an automated message giving (2) separate websites to contact. Sounded legit. When the number was entered into Google, the third option down (attached image) shows number linked to U.S. Internal Revenue Service with a New York office address but when selected, it was through a white pages link. When number was entered for search, an alert popped up saying that the number had been flagged for Fraud and/or Scam (attached image). Contacted the local BBB who was definitely certain it to be a scam and given instructions to report it on this website. It has always been my understanding that the IRS does not contact consumers via the phone. At least they didn't call me when they reported to me that I had been a victim of the recent IRS database hack and that someone had attempted to use or present my SSN. They sent me (2) letters to the address of record used when my taxes were filed. Being a government employee myself, many agencies have policy to not give or discuss important or identifying information over the phone. The local BBB agreed that as many of us know or have heard, the IRS does NOT contact consumers by way of phone. Besides thinking on it, how would they actually have someone's cell phone number....????

Received several calls from a long distance number, finally answered it and it was someone claiming to be "Chester" from the IRS. I had heard about these scams so I didn't give him much opportunity to say much - told him not to call this number again (which he did, several hours later) and hung up. The number the call came from is 606-545-5035, Barbourville, KY

Some one called me from a Washington number claiming to contact police saying there was fraud under my name or something like that it was a automated machine and they said i needed to kindly call them back so I called them and the man had a thick accent. I didn't give them any information. There was a lot of people in the back ground all saying the same thing. And the guy kept threatining me saying he knew i had a daughter and he would come to my house. Then he kept asking if I had a boyfriend. I searched the number up online and about 30 people experienced the same thing from the same number.

I received a phone call today from (860) 309-8212 stating that the IRS was calling. I did not understand the caller's name because he had a heavy Indian accent and there was a lot of noise in the background. He told me that the phone call was my last notification for back taxes or I would be sued. I told him that I did not know of any back taxes owed and I hung up on him.

A message was left on my answering machine from the "IRS" that was a final notice. The phone number to call about this final notice is 913-547-6907. (a Kansas exchange, I later found out.) I asked who I was speaking with. The person said his name was Andrew Lewis and gave a badge number. I was told that the phone call was being recorded. He proceeded to tell me that I owed the "IRS" over $6,000 from the years 2009-2014. As I asked for more information, the person reminded me that the call was being recorded. When he realized that I was not being cooperative, he told me that the local authorities were going to be contacted and I was going to be arrested in 30-35 minutes. I hung up. I then received the same prerecorded message on my phone less than half an hour later! The scammers have to be stopped. I have heard that others have been called with the same scam.

Caller has called twice a day, for the last two days, and claims to be from the IRA and that "They have been trying to reach us, and we need to call them back at such and such phone number, and if we don't pay taxes," {threatens us with some sort of action on their part-I usually hang up at this point they will file bankruptcy against us"}. They have called as early as 8:30 am and later in day, on April 4, and 5th. I was able to write down part of their phone number they wanted us to call them back at; last digits were: 6537. We do not have called ID.
