I keep getting calls from this number. They tell me I am qualified for some kind of discount on my gas bill. Then they ask me to get one of my bills (no reason given). When I tell them I don't have one, they get very confused. I have talked to several people from this number, including one supervisor, and not one of them seems to understand much English. I'm not really sure what they are trying to do, but it's not very effective.
This is an Indian man named William that is forever calling saying he is with IRS and needs to speak to my dad or myself concerning money we owe the IRS. I had a talk today with IRS who said this number has been reported to them several times. The man is very nasty and verbally abusive. He also has made threats to my father's citizenship status as well as threaten to take my child away if this money is not paid in full by a certain time. We both made police reports and NYPD is looking into it this very sec. You try to call back and it's a number you can't reach anyone on
Almost all of these calls are coming from India and Pakistan. They can nothing to you! Don't talk with them, don't answer or call back. Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.
This number calls all of the time. Today, at 8:37 AM. For some reason, the answering machine didn't go on, but the caller was clearly heard breathing and there were many foreign speaking persons in the background. I am CERTAIN we have blocked this number.
