Same scam. Claimed it was 2nd attempt. I called back. He's an extortionist. He's a crook. Claims he's with U.S. Treasury and is "sending officers over"
Today I got a call from this tel# located in the Seattle Washington area. The man identified himself as Steve Martin with somewhat of a british or australian accent? claiming to be from the US Treasury and making their regular threat that if you don't call back they will take action against you.He also left this # to call him back 765 558 3695.Obviously this is a scam sso I proceeded to block the number.
I have gotten two calls today. It is a recording with an Indian accent. He is blabbering on about turning me into the supreme court and this is my second warning. Saying to call back at a certain number. I called back, some one answered and could hear people talking in the background they claim is a tax evasion in 2010, I asked him to repeat the information and hang up on me, anyone knows where to report this scammer 206-800-7919
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Block and ignore. DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

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.
