On 2/23/16, I received via my cell phone (which by the way, I only give out to close friends and family) four voice messages through the day from 206.899.6305 (WA, USA). Each from female computerized/auto message saying: "From IRS/Internal Revenue Service, reason for call is to inform you that IRS is filing lawsuit against you. To get more details on this case file, call 206.899.6305." On 2/24/16, I received a voice message from my cell phone from "Unknown" with similar message that IRS has been trying to reach me regarding lawsuit filed by IRS. This time it was from a male (calling himself: Officer from Internal Revenue Service) but left no phone number to return call.

I did not call the callers back because I know this is a scam as IRS always sends information via direct postal mail. However, I am most concerned there will a vulnerable person who will not know this and will get hurt by trying to be a good citizen and providing personal data and/or money to these crooks. Please strive to shut these criminals down.

On Tuesday, February 9, 2016, an automated message was left on my home telephone in a woman's voice saying that they were calling from the IRS in Washington and that this was our last opportunity to take care of our tax debt. Later on that day, when my adult daughter arrived home, another call came in. She answered and spoke with a man who spoke with a very heavy Indian accent. He told her that she owed over $4,000 for back taxes and that she had filed fraudulent tax returns and was trying to defraud the government. She told him that she needed to speak with me and he told her that she could not speak with anyone and if she did they would be a party to the matter. He further told her that if she failed to pay the $4,000, they would be sending the police to arrest her. She called me at work from her cell phone and told me what had occurred. She was very upset and worried that she was in trouble with the IRS. She provided his telephone number to me and I said I would call to speak with the man. I called the number and I also was informed that I over over $4,000 to the IRS and had filed fraudulent tax return and was trying to defraud the government. I put him on hold and asked a colleague who is a part time tax preparer if the IRS places threatening phone calls to demand payment of money owed to them. She assured me that the IRS send correspondence and doesn't make phone calls or threats to tax payers and that it must be a scam. She advised me to contact the IRS myself which I did and was reassured by the IRS Representative that I owed no taxes and that the phone call was an attempt to scam me and my daughter. The man that I spoke with who was impersonating the IRS spoke with a very heavy accent and also threatened me with police arrest if I did not make a payment immediately. I did report the incident on the TIGTA website. Last week, we received yet another message on our answering machine claiming to be from the IRS in Washington. The call back telephone number that was left on the answering machine was (206) 451-9513.

We received a call from the someone who said his name was officer Jeff ( I don't recall his last name ). He said he was with the IRS. We had received a similar call last spring for the same thing. We contacted the BBB last time too so we new it was a scam. We hung up on him. The number that showed on our phone was 352-547-4013.

Identified themselves saying the IRS had a claim against me and that I needed to pay money or be sent to jail. But I told them I worked for the IRS and they still insisted until I told them I was an IRS Auditor and I know I have no issues, They just hang up, but 3 hours later the same number called me back and this time I just ignored the call, but they left a message telling me to urgently contact them, but the voice message both times was robot leaving me the message.

received a call from 206 708 2849 this morning with a recorded male voice instructing me to call 206 201 0042 because the IRS was proceeding with a law suit against me due to the nonpayment of taxes. I know that It is a scam because the IRS does not call people. Just figured that I would report this.

I never called the other number to proceed any further or to investigate.

IRS impostor, indicating I was in violation of several IRS breaches, filing a fraudulent tax return, violation of IRS act, and tax evasion. Did not allow me to ask questions, was very belligerent, multiple threats of a warrant for my arrest. When I asked questions, he accused me of being rude, that he didn't care if _they_ were being rude, he was just doing his job, he didn't care about me, I was just a number. Then he advised that if I spoke more than yes or no, recorded the call, had any conversation with 3rd party during this call or had any background noise, he would immediately terminate the call and issue a warrant for my arrest. Said I had committed treason, that Homeland security is involved. When I answered his questions, he said he didn't believe me and thought I was being distrustful, that I was trying to dodge taxes. He cited two mailings to my address, the second saying that I had 30 days to respond. Since I didn't this was only a courtesy call to advise me they were sending sheriff to handcuff me and drag me to jail for three days, until I had my courthouse trial. He said that since I had a clean record, and although he was surprised I was trying to evade arrest, he could transfer me to a Sr. Case Manager who might have a *might* have time-sensitive alternative. Transferred me, and she began asking the same questions. I advised that I was hanging up, and terminated the call.

Very convincing call from an actual IRS general number in Buffalo. 716-200-5100 with a call back to 716-200-4980. Indian/Pakistani accents. Very threatening. Threatened my with impending arrest for tax evasion. Read an alleged affidavit that basically said I had broken just about every tax law.

The automated caller stated this is the final notification that the IRS is going to file a lawsuit against me and I need to call this number to get more information. The recording stated one number and then repeated a different number at the end. Here are the 2 numbers it told me to call back 50-368-7081 & 509-288-4981. When I mentioned this to a few people, they told me they got this message this morning as well.

The caller called and stated that he was Officer Edward Fitch with the IRS with the ID: IRM529700 - and he was calling because the IRS had filed a lawsuit against me. Stated that my taxes had been audited from 2008 to 2013 and found that I falsely reported earnings and owed $2400. He ask me if I wanted to handle in court or out of court because there was a warrant out for my arrest. I told him out of court and that's when he transferred me to someone else who stated I couldn't tell anyone about the call until after I received court documents. He said I needed to pay $500 up front then they would put the rest on a payment plan. I kept questioning him until he finally hung up the phone...

I received a call on my cell phone on Monday, 2/22/16 at 2:41pm EST from 360-810-6212. The message was:

"Hello, this call is officially a final notice from IRS, Internal Revenue Service. The reason of this call is that IRS is filing lawsuit against you. To get more information about this case file, please call immediately on our department number 360-810-6212. I repeat, 360-810-6212. Thank you."

I hope this helps prevent others from getting this same scam. I have kept the message on my voice mail if you should need further information.

Received voicemail from Internal Revenue Service [via text to speech program] Informing me that IRS is filling a lawsuit against me. **Transcription of call from voicemail** -- "...Internal revenue service the reason of this call is to inform you the irs is filing lawsuit against you to get more information about this case file please call immediately on our department number 206 319-8780 i repeat 206 319 8780 thank you." -- Google says Bainbridge Island, WA was where the call originated from at 12:34pm on Feb. 19th 2016

I figured I'd report this since I read about SCAMS in East Brunswick on patch.com and that reminded me about this voicemail.. Well hope it adds on another count when they catch these [censored]. I attached a copy of the voicemail file in mp3

Thank you for your time.
