Victim Location 14626 Type of a scam Tax Collection
Received a telephone call from a US Teasury Agent stating that our 2013 tax return was incorrect and we owed $6,000 + for errors in that return. I read the information supplied by you regarding the tax scam and the call was exactly as described. The first person was foreign calling from 708-377-9158. I asked to speak to someone in English. He put me on hold and when the phone was picked up again it was the same person claiming that a representative from the local IRS office would be at my house within an hour to impose charges against me. The second name he gave me was Mr. Matthews and his US Treasury ID # is 11545. None of this did I believe since our accountant has been filing our returns for several years and we have always received refunds including 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Received a call stating I needed to call them back or face being arrested. Called back and person in foreign accent answered as US Treasury and hung up on me when I asked their name.

Victim Location 20716 Type of a scam Tax Collection
I received a voice mail yesterday from this number saying I was being contacted regarding a criminal offense and failure to reply to the call would result in charges. I call the number and was told by "Kevin from the US Treasury" that I was being sued by the IRS for tax evasion for my 2013 and 2014 taxes. He said that I was going to be arrested within the hour as this is a federal offense but they wanted to try to work something out with me. I "owe" $5,650.45. I'm not going to lie, I was freaking out. Lucky for me, I had called my boss on another phone and told her what was going on and she had seen this scam reported on the news a few days before. So I then told him I didn't have that kind of money and couldn't settle anything without first contacting my attorney and accountant. He then reminded me that within an hour of hanging up the call I would be arrested and I told him I would take that risk. I wanted to report this as I'm sure that some poor person will not know this is a scam and may try to settle and loose their money to these people.
This person has been calling my cell phone for months now claiming their name is Steve Martin and I need to call this number 1-310-301-4267 or I will have to appear before a judge. I know this is a scam and I want it to stop, I never answer I just let it go to voicemail, the day I answer them they are not going to like it. I am concerned that they could deceive and elderly person in to giving them money though.

I received a pre-recorded message stating that there was a lawsuit being filed against me from the US Treasury. They stated that someone named 'Amber' or 'Amanda' was who I was suppose to contact. I hung up after I heard a name that I was suppose to contact. I know that the US Treasury is too large and ambiguous to assign my little case with an individual caseworker so I knew it was likely a scam.

I am in Roanoke Rapids, NC. This a.m. I got a
call ( my message machine took it-) from a recording of a foreign sounding man
(Indian i believe) said the call was
from the US Treasury. I needed to call
him back immediately, he said his name was "David Blair" to avoid
criminal action that could be a Federal criminal offense and would mean
appearing before a magistrate. The phone number he gave was : 562-444-6097.
Hope this helps others and alerts them that these calls are in our area.
