Type of a scam Tax Collection

Received a really rude phone call from a guy with an accent saying he was Officer Jones and we owed the IRS $3,000 and if we didn't pay within 72 hours, a police officer named Officer White would come and take us away in cuffs to the court house. He added we should pay be voucher, not check.

Yeah, right buddy! Let me talk to Officer Smith while we're making up names! He also gave a false badge number, address, and 800 number. I asked him for the phone number he was calling on now (which was a 320 area code number). He told me he didn't have to tell me. I asked him again for the number he called me on and he hung up. I could hear another guy in the background on the phone too. Trying to scam someone else!

I received several calls this week from a number that originated in Bobota, Columbia. It was a recording that said this was my last chance. The IRS was going to file a lawsuit on me about my taxes. They gave me a number to call back 571-599-8178. I never called the number back. My cell indicated that the original call came from Bogota, Columbia. When I called that back it was a recording in a different language. I just hung up!

Received IRS lawsuit call on my cell phone. Told me to call the ASAP but I did reply as I knew I didn't have any issues with the IRS and of course they wouldn't call me if they wanted something from me. They would send a registered letter I think for sure.

While at work cell phone went off. Did not recognize phone number so I did not answer. Message left and was told that I will be getting legal action and arrested by local authorities. First part of message was cut off. I proceeded to call the number that left the message out of curiosity. The phone number is 360-663-4460. Someone with a strong accent answered the phone. I was told that they went back to 2008-2012 and audited my taxes. They are with the IRS and I am going to be taken to court. I told them to mail me something in writing so I can have my attorney look at it. They said they previously mailed me something and would not again. I will see them in court. I said ok and that was the end of the phone call. I knew this was a scam and am shocked at how they can gain access to cell phones and do this to us US citizens. I have always have my taxes done by a tax preparer/accountant.

Type of a scam Tax Collection

On Friday Nov. 6th I got a call from fake IRS scammers. These people are calling from several numbers such as: (425) 320-4801 as well as a (346) 971-6231, both of which no-longer work.

They claimed they were making this final attempt to contact me as a courtesy “to protect me” because they said I owed $101.00 back taxes and that because of late fees the amount had gone to $3,500.00 and that they would be turning my account over to a collection agency if I didn't pay them in cash with-in the hour.

These people even told me that because of dishonest people that they could not accept checks, debt, or credit but only cash. These are scammers and they are phishing for your personal information.

These shysters ask me if I were a xxxxx that lives in xxxxx, NC with a xxxxx zip code (Of course I lied and said yes) but when I ask them to spell it and they were actually asking for a xxxxx (I guess their reading of English is as bad as their spoken English dialect).

If you call them back, they answer the phone saying they are the IRS but to me my first clue was that they spoke with foreign accents. When I ask them for some form of ID they give me what I’m sure were false American sounding names of xxxxx and xxxxx with a standard IRM-1102 #. When I told them that another person had just given me that same # as their ID number they hang-up then.

I tried to report this to the actual IRS toll-free number of 1 (800) 829-1040 but all you can get is pre-recorded messages.

Please do NOT give these people any of your information including your actual name or the # you are calling from as your personal phone number (tell them it is your neighbors number because your personal phone has been disconnected). Please tell your family and friends especially the elderly about these type of scams so they will not be taken advantage of by these lowlife’s.

When these lying crooks said that if I did not pay within the hour that the police would be coming to my front door to arrest me and that they would put a freeze on all of my bank accounts and seize all of my property and that I would then have to pay what would turn into $75,000.00, for late fees and a fine. I started laughing and told them to go ahead and call the police and that's when they hung-up on me again. LOL!!! I actually enjoyed phishing for information from them these dummies.

Phone call indicated that the IRS had been trying to reach me (not by name). Said that they were about to file suit. The number that the call came from (from caller ID) and the number to which the call should to be returned were the same. It was a 202 area code which is the Washington, DC, area. I think that the IRS does notifications by mail so didn't return the call figuring it was a scam looking for SS number, etc. Three calls came in before I blocked the number.
