My 82 year old Aunt received a call Wednesday at 7:00 a.m. from a man that identified himself as an IRS Agent.

He told her that an arrest warrant had been issued for her for non-payment of 2008 IRS fees. He said her house would be seized along with her car. The man told her to go to the bank and withdraw $5,000.00 and wire the money to an address he would provide after she had the money.

My Aunt got out her Income Tax and read everything; but, she was so frightened that she actually went to the Bank and withdrew $5,000.00. Thank God that she did not call the man back or send the money. She called every IRS office in North Louisiana and they all told her to make an appointment to come in. The IRS personnel also told her to NOT comply with the stranger on the phone. I could hug and kiss every IRS employee that had contact with my Aunt.

My Aunt had colon cancer surgery and chemotherapy in 2008 and actually had filed for an extension on her Income Tax because of her illness. When she did file her taxes, she received a letter than she had been granted a hardship waiver and owed no fees. At first, I thought this was ironic that he chose 2008 - or was it ??

She returned to the Bank on Thursday to deposit the $5,000.00. An employee commented that she "just saw you yesterday" and my Aunt told her about the fake IRS caller. The Bank employee also cautioned her about telephone scammers.

I saw a report on t.v. the other night about the fake IRS agents and I will make a point of telling my Aunt if I see any other reports.

Yet another Indian scam. This was shown to me in a pop up ad on Mediafire (A popular site to download files from) when I misclicked an ad. A voice started playing in a loop with an unclosable dialogue box stating "PLEASE CALL THE TOLL FREE NUMBER TO HAVE VIRUS REMOVE!" The Number, by the way, is 1-877-895-9188.

I have not called, but I am certain of this being a scam.

Someone called me and said I won 1.8 million dollars in a lottery. As soon as I said I didn't enter a sweepstakes, they hung up.  They called from number 876-436-4471.

My e-mail was hacked by someone posing as me saying I was mugged in Manila and needed funds to return home. My entire e-mail mailbox disappeared and all my contacts received the scam e-mail. The scammer used my personal AOL e-mail address.

Called claiming I won sweepstakes, obviously a Jamaican accent.

As he talked, we googled the phone # and information, learning this was a scam.....I read to the person what I found about the scam and told him to lose my #. He responded with extremely vulgar language....and I hung up...he called back and left an even MORE vulgar message.

The name they gave us was David Richmond.

Received a call from a gentleman by the name of Sam with regards to a notification they received that my computer had a virus with mal-ware and spy-ware. He stated that it needed to be taken care of right away and wanted to know if they could take care of it now. I had read in the AARP magazine about calls that people had been receiving about an individual calling about their computer having a virus. When I questioned him about who notified them about the virus and what kind of virus he started rattling things off in an accent so that I could hardly understand him. I told him that I was going to report him to our local law enforcement and he stated he was sorry that I felt that way and hung up. The number on my caller ID was 5-634-8956.

I received a call I missed from 970-528-20882, called them back at that number and talked to Joseph I asked if they were are associated with BBB he said no . Asked  why is that he did not know. He said  you are a lucky winner of $300.00 in Walmart certificates.. Then he told me to call Solution Management but did not give the # then he hung up. I called them back and talked to someone who I could not understand so I asked if they had someone I could understand. Said they needed my debit or credit card number to pay for the shipping and handling of the first 100. Walmart certificate. I asked if I could not just send a money order to pay the 3.75 shipping and handling they said no because they would need to charge my debit or credit card for shipping and handling of the additional certificates. Then told me it appeared that I did not want to get my certificates. I asked for their company name but they would only give me the name of their website, it was; leadgeneration.com. They said they were a third party just distributing the certificates to winners. They made a rude comment and hung up.

Getting calls from 2 different numbers, but the same exact scam/behavior.

Calls from Texas at 469-223-4338 and calls from New York at 607-385-2067. They both start with an automated message saying you could lower your interest rate and credit card debt. I have gone through to a representative a few times. Every time, I ask them to remove me from the calling list, and they immediately hang up on me. It is happened every time. One time, I asked them what they needed, and they ask for social security number and date of birth.

I have been called by a collection agency last month. I don't know the name, but this is a new phone and a new phone number and they said its for a 11,279 chargeoff amount I owe from 2008, and how they got my number I don't know, but the debt was settled with bac or bank of America back in 2011. I said not to scam me anymore and don't call again, or I would notify an attorney. I then got negative items on my credit reports of this and the amount and it prevented me from getting a credit increase to get a new floor in my house and also my car insurance and car payments went up as well as my credit payments and credit limit suddenly decreased

Just got phone call that said "Attention: The IRS is about to sue you. Call 202-386-0453." It came from a cel phone with the same number and did not mention anyone's name nor the reason for why the IRS might sue. I did not call the number assuming it was a scam but thought I'd report to you for investigation. I have no outstanding debts with the IRS.

Phone call came from "David" at 876-248-5825 on the morning of January 5, 2016 to my cell phone. Caller said I had won 2.5 million and a Mercedes-Benz and I must leave to go home so the limousine could deliver the check and car. When I got in my car I was instructed to honk my horn twice.

I had the caller on speaker phone and knew the next instruction would be to go a bank and withdraw money for taxes, I was wrong it was to go by Walmart and buy green cards.

I told the caller I was reporting him. Is there another entity I can report him to as well as the BBB?

Funny thing happened after that, a worker in my office received the call next, our numbers start with 615-477

doubt it was a coincidence.

I received a call leaving a voice message to call them back. When I call back the telephone response system said IRS, I knew this was a scam and wanted to report this to the BBB warning others. I did not talk with anyone at the number, call was disconnected as soon as the system said IRS.
