Received a call from this number. I didn't answer it, but received a voicemail (robo) to call back ASAP. I knew it couldn't be legit, but a man, whom I could not for the life of me understand, answered. I guess he was attempting to be aggressive with me, but I just couldn't understand him until he asked me to spell my name. I told the guy that I wasn't telling him anything until he could verify who he was and where he was calling from. He said something, again that I couldn't understand completely, and I simply said, "okay, you do that, buddy." Obviously this was a scam. The IRS would send an official letter if there was an issue.
I was left a voice message identifying themselves as "Federal Offices of Internal Revenue Service Headquarters". It went on to say I had 4 unresolved cases and that there were "4 federal charges under your name". They asked me to return their call at (571) 402-8007. I didn't and won't.
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. IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government. 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 as related to ordinary tax disputes. Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime. 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 or Itunes cards or similar 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.
