I hope he comes looking for me. We save the Silver Bullets for the bloodsuckers like this. Anyone reading this, don't be taken in by their scare tactics. The only thing official about this caller is a professional scam artist. Doubt the number used is real. May be spoofed. Just another form of terrorism. Stay vigilant!

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 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.

Just got this same call. I believe they were Indian. Trying to tell me we owed back taxes, that they wouldn't take a personal CC or debit card. Had to go and buy a money are. Told me would have the police come and I would be facing jail time if I didn't do it. I knew something was wrong! Thank you for letting us know about this scam!!
IRS scam... called t hem back game fake name and birthdate. Said I owed $11,780. I told him I don't think so. He told me officers will be showing up to arrest me and take my belongings. Can I told him I don't think so doesn't work that way. I yanked his chain along longer and had a little fun with it to waste his time so somebody else doesn't get scammed. I called him out tiled him then call is being traced and he had better run. He became sexually belligerent and I laughed.
