I am getting phone calls which are recorded messages which say they are from the IRS and we have been turned in for prosecution and we need to call them right away.
- One number came up on my phone as a SKYPE 1-347-494-1912. This was two days after taxes were due, which I did file.
- I just received another call that did not have a number show up on my phone, but the number was 1-347-637-6194.
I tried to do a reverse search and found the most recent caller's number was a land line from the Bronx, Coretel in NY, although another website said it was a cell phone. One of the reverse phone sites I looked at had a section where people could leave a note stating what was happening and there were so many that were IRS scams from different NY numbers. They weren't the 347 area codes necessarily, many were 340. The people who talked to the scammers are told to go get a type of payment card that evidently can't be traced.
I'm familiar with this because I was the victim of another scam where someone called and said she was my granddaughter and was in jail in NY and needed my help. She supposedly had gone to a funeral and was driving someone's car back to the house where she was staying, they were pulled over and one of the kids had pot. They were all put in jail. I have 4 granddaughters in college. They had me guess which granddaughter I thought it was. She had me speak to her attorney who told me what kind of payment card to get to help her with bail. Fortunately a clerk I spoke with at RiteAid told me what was going on; so I didn't follow through. The young lady at RiteAid told me that the majority of the scams where they want this type of payment card, which can't be traced, so you're just out the money, comes from New York. I would have lost $3,000.00. I haven't had any problem with this again, this was just an aside as how these payment cards work. They tell you which drugstores or grocery stores to go to to get them. RiteAid quit carrying them.
Thinking back, this is about the 4th or 5th time I have had a phone call supposedly from the IRS. I have never called anyone back. My husband and I are Senior Citizens.

Received two exact phone messages 4 1/2 hours apart on 04/25/2016 claiming it was the IRS. It was a recorded female voice, telling me I was being sued by the IRS. She did not identify the subject of the lawsuit. My caller ID indicated it was a "wireless call," and the number was 607-293-0298, and that was also the number I was instructed to call. I did not call.
Thank you.

I've received two calls from a company identifying themselves as the IRS stating that I'm being sued by the IRS. This is definitely a scam. The phone numbers are:
So far we have received 2 phone calls. First one on 4/23 second one 4/28/2016. Both are recorded messages saying the IRS has a lawsuit against us and we need to call 715-605-2589. I'm well aware the IRS would not contact us in this way if we owed them money. Do not call this number, just hang up!

Hello. Recently i have been bombarded by the "IRS" claiming that there is a lawsuit pending against and to immediately call the number provided. Just for curiosity's sake i called the number. They asked why i was calling and then hung up on me. Three times! The last woman i spoke with, obviously from India, told me she was from Spain when I asked her if she was American. I told her she was NOT from Spain... then she hung up on me.
I could hear other call takers yelling at calling in the background.
Listen, I am smarter than this. Others, however, may not be. This has got to stop before some unfortunate elderly person or some young person with little life experience gives away their life savings or credit card info.
Thank you.

Received a telephone call on 4/26/16 from someone who said his name was Paul Mason from the Audit Dept. of the Internal Revenue. We asked him where he was located he said Washington DC, when we asked for the address he hung up the telephone. I personally know from experience that IRS do not call My husband on the other hand (who they asked for) did not know this. Just wanted to make the report for whatever good it may be to others. Hopefully this will be reported.
