Been receiving calls from what sounds to be a generic (female) voice recording. The recording claims that they are calling from the IRS, and stated that they had been trying you reach me for some time (have made several attempts). The recording states "Please call us back immediately, as this is the last request before a lawsuit is filed against you." -They are using high-pressure scare tactics, watch out for this number!

This phone number called us 7 times in 6 hours declaring to be from the IRS and we would be jailed. We know it is a scam. Can these people be arrested?

Claimed they were collecting $4,700 in taxes that I had wrong plus court costs & penalties. If I discussed with anyone or hung up the phone the local police would arrive at my location per the gps on my phone and arrest me & I would go to jail for minimum of 6months.

I keep getting messages that state they are the IRS and if I do not call legal action will be taken. It is a computer recording. I called back after hours and the message said only that no one was available now. (NO BUSINESS) I called the next morning and a man that sounded like he was from India picked up. no business greeting. He just said. Hello who is this? I asked him who he was and what business this was and he would not tell me. he simply said that before he told me anything he needed to verify who I was by my personal information. (phone, Social # ECT.) I refused and stated to him I felt this was a scam as any upfront business would identify themselves. the man promptly hung up the phone. It was then that I contacted the BBB.
Thank you.

Phone call came in listed as unknown number from United States. A automated voice message was left that said: that my income tax returns were under investigation because of some discrepancies, and that I needed to return their call or face prosecution. The name given was Officer Robert Edwin from the Internal Revenue Service.
Caller claimed to be tax collectors for IRS. Threatening to send you to jail if you don't come up with half of thousands of funds they claim you have in delinquent taxes for past 5 years. Give you two options. Either pay by Itunes pre paid cards is whatever amts they quote you or half or agents will come to your door and arrest you. They'll have you go to nearby merchants such as Walmart, Family Dollar, etc. to get them. They'll keep you on phone until transactions complete. Then, take scratch numbers from back of cards and done. They got me for $100 only....but "fool me once..."!
They are slimmey and scary. Very convincing. Tips : Don't do it. They don't even speak clear or fluent English. The recording from IRS sounds real but don't freak out. IRS doesn't operate that way.

Says he is w/ the IRS, I owe a lot of money and if I pay the whole thing, they wouldn't put me in jail/arrest. I didn't give any information and hung up. They used scare tactic for me to pay them.

Called and said there was a warrant out for my arrest
Number called twice and left same automated message stated legal action will be filed within 24 hours if this legal issue of not resolved. Called the number, connection was terrible, very choppy. Told me I had been audited by IRS and that between 2010 and 2014, incorrect amounts were used to file. I had filed timely, but with wrong amounts. He said that I had not responded to any mail that has been sent. I told him I've never recd any mail from IRS and that I had no idea what gw was talking about. He said I should know exactly what this is about, and I said, No, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and then he hung up. SCAM!

The recorded call from this number claims to be the IRS -- tries to make it sound like we are in trouble with therm -- but my husband used to work for H and R Block, is an accomplished accountant and very honest. I know we don't have any problems with the IRS.

The caller claimed to be from the IRS (they called twice in the same day) and wanted me to give them information on myself. They had such a thick Asian accent I could barely understand their English (a man). I'm sure the IRS would not employ a call clerk who could hardly speak English, and I am sure we are not having any problems with the IRS.

I received three identical calls one after the other on June 20, 2017. The recorded message was supposedly from the IRS claiming that I owed back taxes. The message was almost identical to most other scams of this nature. The quality of the recording was very poor and difficult to understand at times. The voice which sounded like that of a female with a slight accent said she was from the IRS crime division. The caller left a phone number that I was encouraged to call immediately to resolve the tax problem. I hung up on the call.
