Had this very same experience just now. "IRS has a lawsuit against my company and do I have my lawyer ready right now" because of a "miscalculation of my taxes that did not go through in a proper way". Thick "non-native English accent. Wanted me to make an appointment with the IRS otherwise they will contact local Sherriff's office. He wanted me to 'make an appointment with the IRS office right now and they will provide the documentation" I was immediately on guard and said I would look into this independently. I suspect the act of making the appointment would have been his way to get my information. He never used my name.
Tax identity theft is the theme of the week, but it’s not the only tax scam we’re talking about. Complaints to the FTC about IRS imposter scams have shot up over the last year — by almost 50,000 complaints.
Here’s what happens: You get a call from a scammer pretending to be with the IRS, saying you’ll be arrested if you don’t pay taxes you owe right now. You’re told to wire it or put it on a prepaid debit card. They might threaten to deport you or say you’ll lose your driver’s license. Some even know your Social Security number, and they fake caller ID so you think it really is the IRS calling.
But it’s all a lie. If you send the money, it’s gone.
When you have a tax problem, the IRS will first contact you by mail. The IRS won’t ask you to wire money, pay with a prepaid debit card, or share your credit card information over the phone.
If you get a call like this, file a complaint with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at tigta.gov. You also can file a complaint with the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint. If you’re concerned there’s a real problem, call the IRS directly at 800-829-1040.
This Indian decent, very rude man has called my number multiple times recently with 10 calls this morning alone. He's threatened me numerous times that I'm going to be arrested for IRS Fraud, etc. and that he will get me fired from my work. I've called and spoke to the IRS and was told this was a scam. I sure wished I could come face to face with this creep!
