I RECEIVED CALL FOR THIS NUMBER LIKE A OFFICIER OF IRS FOR MRE THAN 6 TIMES I WAS CHECKED OVER INTERNET AND THIS IS A SCAM NUMBER ALSO HI TRIED TO INTIMEDATED TO MY WITH POLICE I DID NOT PAYATTENTION
I got scammed today by "Eric Martin" from "IRS" as he claim. They threaten me with police arrest and up to 7 years in prison. They also threaten me my properties, my car, etc etc. They asked me how I want to resolve it. I told them I did not want to go jail and resolve it right away. They kept my phone line busy all the time. I had to leave work right away to do what they ask. I drove around town to various Moneygram places to pay out in cash. Any calls coming in or any text message they question me. They gave me instructions to empty my bank account (now is $0) and send to a lot of people via Moneygram (all in Chicago, IL), which I did. They got approximately $8000 from me. They want me to get my wife to send money to me tommorrow for the rest of my bail payment. I am blocking their phone but my money is gone. I was frightened but now I know the truth. IRS do not call and ask for cash. They usually send a letter stating the person owe this much and must resolve it within a few months. If not resolve, the money is compounded with interest rate to pay for the following year. The only time if IRS come to the door is evade tax for millions of dollars. Then, go court and be jailed if don't pay.
If you sent money to various parties you should got to the local IRS office and tell them what happened. The people you sent money to are guilty of money laundering. Also make a report to anywhere you purchased the moneygrams.
Why are people still falling for this scam? It has been around for years. How is it that someone can simply call you out of the blue and tell you they are whatever, and you will simply hand them money over. How does that work?
Did it ever occur to you to call the police about this? Didn't you have ANY doubts? Christ. Empty your bank account? On the basis of a cold call from someone you know nothing about?
Jeezuz. Hard to believe.
Anyway, read the following and memorize it because now you are labeled as an easy mark.

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter. But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters. 90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively. IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes. IRS has no powers of arrest. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of money. IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone. IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case. No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments. Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement. All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals. All contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.
