On Friday Nov. 6th I got a call from fake IRS scammers. These people are calling from several numbers such as: (425) 320-4801 as well as a (346) 971-6231, both of which no-longer work.
They claimed they were making this final attempt to contact me as a courtesy “to protect me” because they said I owed $101.00 back taxes and that because of late fees the amount had gone to $3,500.00 and that they would be turning my account over to a collection agency if I didn't pay them in cash with-in the hour.
These people even told me that because of dishonest people that they could not accept checks, debt, or credit but only cash. These are scammers and they are phishing for your personal information.
These shysters ask me if I were a xxxxx that lives in xxxxx, NC with a xxxxx zip code (Of course I lied and said yes) but when I ask them to spell it and they were actually asking for a xxxxx (I guess their reading of English is as bad as their spoken English dialect).
If you call them back, they answer the phone saying they are the IRS but to me my first clue was that they spoke with foreign accents. When I ask them for some form of ID they give me what I’m sure were false American sounding names of xxxxx and xxxxx with a standard IRM-1102 #. When I told them that another person had just given me that same # as their ID number they hang-up then.
I tried to report this to the actual IRS toll-free number of 1 (800) 829-1040 but all you can get is pre-recorded messages.
Please do NOT give these people any of your information including your actual name or the # you are calling from as your personal phone number (tell them it is your neighbors number because your personal phone has been disconnected). Please tell your family and friends especially the elderly about these type of scams so they will not be taken advantage of by these lowlife’s.
When these lying crooks said that if I did not pay within the hour that the police would be coming to my front door to arrest me and that they would put a freeze on all of my bank accounts and seize all of my property and that I would then have to pay what would turn into $75,000.00, for late fees and a fine. I started laughing and told them to go ahead and call the police and that's when they hung-up on me again. LOL!!! I actually enjoyed phishing for information from them these dummies.

So I called the number back for fun and they asked for my acct number they left me and I said they never gave me one so he asked my social and I said I would never give that over the phone and he hung up on me.

While at work cell phone went off. Did not recognize phone number so I did not answer. Message left and was told that I will be getting legal action and arrested by local authorities. First part of message was cut off. I proceeded to call the number that left the message out of curiosity. The phone number is 360-663-4460. Someone with a strong accent answered the phone. I was told that they went back to 2008-2012 and audited my taxes. They are with the IRS and I am going to be taken to court. I told them to mail me something in writing so I can have my attorney look at it. They said they previously mailed me something and would not again. I will see them in court. I said ok and that was the end of the phone call. I knew this was a scam and am shocked at how they can gain access to cell phones and do this to us US citizens. I have always have my taxes done by a tax preparer/accountant.

It is a recorded message from an officer Lauren Matthews. Her message is telling me to" call her back at 323-284-4189, that it is extremely important. Please call me back before any action is taken." They called me today, 11/7/15, Saturday, at 7:01 am. It woke me up. I called them back and yelled at them for calling so early and that they were not the IRS because the IRS only gives out 800 numbers to call back. How do I get them to leave me alone? Thanks

I received automated call about being sued by IRS and given a number to call. I called back the original number 832-761-6076 in Tomball TX. A woman with middle eastern accent answered saying she was IRS, and gave me a name and ID number in clear rehearsed English saying they looked back into my 2008-2013 taxes and I owed thousands of dollars. I told her I hadn't gotten anything in the mail or a call from my accountant, and she said we are not suing him, it is in your name and how would you like to take care of this now, or you will have to retain a lawyer. I told her I was calling my accountant and she said, well you can do that and hung up.
