I just received a recorded phone message saying they were from the IRS, and we are being charged with fraud. It said they had tried numerous times to contact us in the last six months. That since they haven't been able to reach up we were being brought up on fraud charges if we didn't call this number.

I received a call with a message that I had an issue with the IRS and to avoid an arrest warrant I should call this number. I called and the man said he was a detective for the IRS and if I did not cooperate he would issue a warrant for my arrest.

Then he asked my name and I said first I needed to know who he was.

I never gave him any info as I knew this was a scam. I just wanted more details to report. I refused to give him any info and kept asking how I could prove this was the IRS. Since I never gave him my name he never got to asking for anything other info..

I told hin I need proof you are the IRS. Send me a written statement concerning my case.

He said he could not send me an email. I said I did not want an email...

I want it sent to my physical address.

I asked how I was supposed to prove what he said. He suggested I go to the local IRS office where I would be arrrested for not cooperating with him.

I told him I'd do better than that and report this phone number to the IRS, police and whomever else had an interest in scammers. He said, "brilliant idea, then I will just send the local police the warrant info now. I said, thanks I'll be ready, laughed and hung up.

I was contacted by the number listed with an automated message that there would be urgent legal/criminal action taken against me for back taxes owed and to call back the number immediately. When I called back the individuals I spoke with (whom had Indian accents) confirmed they were from the IRS and were looking for additional information. When I asked a couple questions they should be able to answer they became irritated and hung up the phone. After I called back a couple times requesting information from them they became hostile.

My concern is the aggressiveness displayed with their message and that they repeatedly confirmed they were calling from the IRS. If they were to target a more vulnerable person with such a message there could be some real harm done

Beware of IRS calls, they say that you have to pay a certain amount of money for back taxes or you will be arrested. This is our second phone call, the first one was on the home phone and the second one was on our cell phone. Both wanted money or we would be arrested within the hour at our home and they also said that our home was under investigation. So Please Beware of These Calls and if you do get a call from them report it to the B.B.B. and don't be a victim by sending them the money!

And there could be no third party involved I couldn't tell no one about this. He had even asked what kind of phone I had who was my service provider model and serial number of my phone.. he also asked me who has been doing my taxes, I told him if he was from the IRS he would know that. The phone call lasted 29 minutes and I was scared he said he was calling me back tomorrow.

I need to call back within 24 hours or the local police will arrest me. Of course I know this was a scam and did not call back. I am sure if I did, they would ask for money.

They tried to contact me on "these issue in previous six months but we had never got response from you so it has been considered as an intentional fraud and lawsuit has been filed under your name by the United States government. You may call our department number at 254-226-9805." I listened to the voicemail they left and typed out the information exactly as it was left on my phone.

I received 3 voice mails over that past 2 weeks saying that I had a debt and they would have to initiate a law suite over the unpaid debt if I did not respond to their message. I know I don't have any unpaid debts so I ignored the calls. Then today I got another voice mail saying they would have to issue a arrest warrant over some unpaid taxes if I did not contact them. A threat to be arrested got my attention so I called 646-682-0792 and a women with a heavy (middle eastern) accent took my name, put me on hold, then came back and said there was a discrepancy concerning my taxes over the past 5 years and asked if I paid my taxes in the past 5 years. My response was "are you the IRS?" and she responded "yes". I said "If you are the IRS how can you not know if I paid taxes over the past 5 years?" She ignored that question and asked me to confirm my address. I told her I wasn't confirming anything until I knew who I was talking to and if there is a problem with my taxes they need to send me a letter. She hung up.
