Some foreigner call me stating their was a warranty out for my arrest for fraudelat tax information, press one for more information. When I press 1, with an spanish accent.. When I ask him what's it all about and I was going to the BBB, he hung up in my face.

HIS ID # 313845 HIS NAME HE GAVE WAS VICTOR FRANK

- Doylestown, OH, USA

I received this call on two separate days and its the same number. They told me there were from the IRS and told me that I owed them money I finally said to the man " I know that I don't owe any money and your full of crap". He went on a ramp and said " You owe us money!" I said to him " I don't owe any money and your trying to scam me have a great day." I hung up the phone..

Ask for your Social Security and says you owe tax money and send it to their address.

- Milton, FL, USA

Threatening me and telling me over the phone that they have closed my accounts, closed my social security number told me I have had warrants for my arrest if I don't call them back telling me that I need to update my credit card info.

- Havelock, NC, USA

I had a partial message on my answering machine threatening possible legal action if something isn't worked out. They said it could be due to identity theaft. I called the number on my caller id, and got a man with a thick indian accent who said he was an officer for the irs named david allen. He asked me if i was given a case number and when i told him no he asked my name. Then after i gave him my name he asked for my social security number and when i said no he became very irritated. When he asked me why i told him that the IRS would never ask for that info over the phone. He became more irritated and reiterated that he is an officer for the IRS. Then I hung up.

- Yuma, AZ, USA

I got a voicemail that said this:

"Executed by the US treasury depositing for tax evasion and tax fraud. Ignoring this will be an intentional attempt to avoid initial appearance before a magistrate, judge or a grand jury for a federal criminal offence. Which is against your name. For more information on your case you can contact the tax and crime unit at extension 201 4197467021. We'll be glad to share your case information and help you with you situation.

I did not call them back and instead I called the IRS to inform them about the situation at 1 (800) 829-1040. After a talking for a few minutes I was advised to report this scam to this website.

Thank you

- Knoxville, TN, USA

A recorded message states they are from the IRS and that I must make immediate contact because my SS # has been linked to criminal activity. I was given a choice to call back (a number was given) or to press 1 to speak to an "investigating agent." I received two of these calls. The first was from the 833 number, which came up as suspicious by my carrier. I just blocked the number. I knew right away it was a scam. The second call came from the 202 number. I can see how people get hooked by these crooks - the recorded message was very convincing. Even though I knew it was a scam, I pressed 1 to speak to an agent - mostly to see what they would say. The person on the other end of the line answered as "Officer" so-and-so, and had an obvious 'English as a second language' accent. He immediately attempted to take control of the conversation and convince me that he was really trying to help me because I was in serious trouble. That is when I ended the conversation by telling him I was reporting all of this to the FBI cyber crime unit. Officer so-and-so hung up. Again, pretty elaborate story line, and scare tactics. Don't fall for it. The IRS does not call you PERIOD. The IRS does not call to tell you your ss# has been linked to criminal activity. They do not call. If you are linked to criminal activity in any way the police will show up at your door and arrest you with a warrant. No one calls ahead. Please don't fall for these scams.

- Corpus Christi, TX, USA

They say I owe them money and need call them back

- Savannah, GA, USA

Automated message stating I was in trouble with IRS and to contact them before they take legal actions.

He did not speak good English so I believe he said his name first, I had to ask 2 times who he was with because i did not understand his fast talk(IRS) said I owed tax for 2018 and wanted to know who did my tax because they were wrong and i owed money. HE CALLDE MY CELL PHONE (PERSONAL) I TOLD HIM IT WAS A SCAM & TO REMOVE MY NAME & HE SAID A FEW MORE THINGS I HAD TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING & AM SURE HE SAID POLICE! I DO WORK AT A TAX OFFICE SO I KNOW MY TAX WERE FINE.

- Port Orchard, WA, USA

said that they were with the IRS and that my SS# is being compromised and asked for current address and last 4 digit of SS#. tried to call them back several times, finally got a hold of "Michael" and he said it was a private number.

- Karthaus, PA, USA

the recording says "you haven't paid your IRS taxes for several years". DO NO GIVE ANY INFORMATION! Hang up and report.

- Greeley, CO, USA

These scammers will first call using an automated voice saying to not hang up, this is an emergency, there is a warrant for your arrest. Then they will leave a phone number for you are to call back. When you do, a man will most likely answer and will sound legitimate. He will say you've called the Internal Revenue Services and will give you a "case number" and "badge number". In my personal experience, he had my maiden last name and threatened me by saying I owed the IRS $2,989 and I explained that I used H&R Block so I will contact them then. At this, he got escalated and said I was on a recorded line and that I was responsible, not anyone else. He "transferred" me to his supervisor who sounded just like him but with a slight souther twang. He proceeded to also threaten me and tell me that I had a warrant for my arrest and that if I disconnected the call 911 would call me and I would be picked up at my workplace. I told him I knew my rights and that this sounded like a scam call. He got upset at that and I hung up. literally 1 minute later I got a call and 1(911) did pop up on my caller ID. I answered and it sounded like the same man asking for me but using my maiden last name, I hung up. At this point, I was shaken up and was searching for myself online. He called a second time and I didn't answer. I googled the IRS actual phone number called and had them verify my account and the representative also told me that, that was scam call and they have gotten reports about that same situation

- Arnold, MO, USA

numbers claiming to be IRS, trying to get info from me.

- Derby, KS, USA

Robocall threatening to terminate my tax ID number and seize wages and bank accounts if I don't call back.

Received a call from 530-385-8969 stating they were IRS and to stop legal proceedings call back at 800-674-9869. Another number used was 323-688-7869.

The Texas phone number attempted to get me to give them money. I did not speak with them; they left a voicemail.

- Grand Rapids, MI, USA

Some voice recording that starts halfway through a sentence about my ssn being suspended from “suspicious activity” and to call back and press one if I want to fix the situation.

- Hays, KS, USA

I received a call from phone number 530-378-9374. It was a recorded message telling me that they were the IRS and I had 4 allegations pending against me for taxes. I was supposed to call the number right away or else in 2 hours there would be federal agents sent to get me.

I called the number to see what they would say, and there was a bunch of background noise, and then a lady with a heavy accent answered. When I started asking her if she thought I was going to fall for this, she hung up.
