When I pointed out the incongruities in his statement, he because agitated. Based on my estimation of the accent, I asked him if he was calling from a call center in India. He eventually claimed that he was Mexican and was calling from Brooklyn and then said something in Mexican-accented Spanish. I still think that he is Indian. Eventually during the course of the banter, he said to me "[***] you" and hung up. Yes indeed, I will report this as well.....
Call came in, asking for me by first name (not legal name), stating he was an IRS officer, who was calling to ask if I had a attorney yet for the upcoming law suit filed against me. I stated I had no I idea I had a lawsuit filed so why would I have a lawyer. I asked what the case was about, and another person came on the line. This man basically stated the same thing. My being suspicious I said is that all you need, the man said yes, and disconnected.
Both men sounded as if they had an Indian accent. This call came in late afternoon.
The IRS will NEVER call you direct, and NEVER call you by your regular shorten version of your name.

I got this today, I could tell it was a call center left a message on my voicemail and knew my name, but I worry about people who aren't so savvy and will call this jerks and get ripped off. I think these telemarketers and scam artists are out of hand. Shame on them. They know everyone is terrified of the IRS, so they are using peoples fear to rape them of their hard earned money. So shameful
Got a call today from officer someone with a very thick accent (maybe Indian or mexican). Lots of background noise. He said I was being sued by the IRS for fraudulent tax reporting from 2008-2012. Asked for my lawyer information.. I was shocked and said I had no idea what he was talking about and thAt I received no mail correspondence. He gave specific dates on when letters were sent and asked me where I was on those dates back in march!!!! He told me that I could be lying about not getting the mail and the courts would decide... He also said that a cop from the local authorities would be at my house in the next few days to arrest me!!!! I continued to deny wrong doing and he becomes clearly frustrated. ' saying things like ' omg,'. I told him I was being harrassed and he became more defensive and told me that he would resend the paperwork. I asked for a supervisor and got much of the same. Then I asked for a number that I could call back to confirm this and he gave me a 'John smith' number at 917-300-3102. He was suppose to be some type of officer and when I called back the phone connection was bad so he called me back. Again, spoke w a rude man w a thick accent, claiming I was being sued by the IRS, he has my address and name and told me to get a lawyer and to expect the police to imprison me... I insisted that he give me another number for my local IRS dept in pa. He said that was useless that they didn't have the files of information for me.. I continued to insist that I had general questions for them and I wanted more contact info. He continued to become more frustrated and eventually hung up on me!! The whole thing was upsetting as I was harrassed and was being told that cops were going to come to my house and arrest me and could face jail time for up to three years!!!!! They never asked for money but wanted lawyer info! I hope these guys get caught! Was total harassment and impersonation of the IRS!

I also got calls from a man stating he was from the IRS, I know he was Indian for a fact because at work I get a lot of calls from that country because some people have international health insurances and at work their always being audit as fraud and abuse cases because that country is known for that. Anyways I got a call from Mr. Jackson stating that I owe money to the IRS an that they were going to freeze all my accounts and take all of my money when I got paid. They knew my first and last name and told me that I will also be arrested or deported and the funny thing is that I was born in this country so I'm like we're are you going to deporte me if I was born here. I said India? Right? Mr. Jackson got so frusted that he said he was going to call the cops for I can get arrested now. So I'm like okay my neighbor is a cop can he arrest me ( he really is a cop) because I don't mind at all I talk to him all the time and I think he would have told me if I was in some kind if trouble. My call was so epic that I don't think they will me calling again.
