IRS Scam

Type of a scam Tax Collection

Initial call was recording stating "the IRS has a suit filed against you please call us at 404 891 0356" so I called and a man in a call center answered. His name was "ADAM SMITH" his IRM # 2247 (Internal Revenue Member number)

said "the IRS has a suit filed against my Brother for tax years 1995 to 2000. Funny thing is, my brother is disabled and has NEVER had a job in his LIFE. He has been on disability and is not required to file taxes. When I told him this ADAM said "Do not lie tot he IRS ma'am". I told him i really didn't believe he was with the IRS and he hung up the phone. They had his name, birthdate and asked me for the last 4 of his social. I did not give them the opportunity to tell me how much money they wanted.

I woke up this morning and there was a message on my machine saying we were being sued by the IRS. I was like what is going on? So when I called the number back no one answered. When I *67 them and dialed the number I asked who I was talking to and she said Karen. I asked who I was calling and she said Kentucky Fried Chicken. (KFC) So I asked why they called my house saying we were being sued by the IRS? No answer. She just kept asking me if I wanted to order something. Don't know what kind of scam this is, but I know it wasn't the IRS and probably not KFC either. I told them not to call my house again. There number is 603-307-9869. Thank you for your time.

They left a message on my answering machine. I called them back. The man with a heavy foreign accent said that I owed the IRS money and he was going to give me the information that I needed. After he asked me my name and I told him he knew what my zip code was. He then told me that he was officer John Roberts and his ID# was GS6704 and my case # is BC94135. He then asked me when the last time was that I filed income taxes. I told him if he was from the IRS he should already know that. He then said that he was just trying to verify information that he already had. I was going to stay on the phone and try to get as much information as I could but I got to mad because this phone call was costing me money and I knew it was a scam. I thought getting information would help but as I find out I should not have even called back because now my name is being sold to many people and I will be stuck with a lot of unwanted calls.

I received a voice mail message stating that they had checked my tax returns from 2010-2014 and that there were some inconsistencies. They said they did an internal audit and found that I owe $7500.00 in back taxes. I talked to a lady of Indian decent and she gave me her badge number and a case number. She said I had two options, either pay the amount today or go to Washington DC with an attorney. She said my property could be seized and my drivers license revoked. I told her to hang on and I hung up on her.

Received 2 calls today from Steve Moddix (sp?) concerning U.S. Treasury Enforcement. Ignoring this will be an intentional second attempt to avoid initial appearance before a magistrate judge for a federal criminal offense. His number is (844) 432-5962. The first time he called I told him to "go to hell!" and hung up. He called back tonight and left the entire message on my message box. I found similar scam reports on your website so decided to report this call.
