I received a call from this number. A man stated that he was from the Bangladesh Embassy and tried to convince my father that he owed $28,000 to the IRS (American, I believe) and was facing imprisonment for tax evasion. The "Embassy" man 3-way called a man claiming to be from the IRS and argued on behalf of my father until the IRS man agreed to accept $14,000 instead. I took the phone and demanded an email stating the amount owed and some sort of identification from the Embassy man. The IRS man left the phone call and the embassy man said that letters were already sent to my address and the time to notify us of the debt has already passed. He said there are no ID numbers for Bangladesh Embassy employees. I demanded some form of id and he told me to shut my mouth and I hung up.

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 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.

I have received 2 phone calls from 509-228-8704, 202-239-6553 and 206-923-9438. Since I do not pick up numbers I don't know, they left a voice recorded message stating that the IRS is going to sue me and asks me to call back to get information. I have not returned any calls. I came across this blog as I was looking up the numbers. It is sad to say that I am not the only one people try to take advantage of.
My mom was called, as well, from 202-239-6553 last week & today. He stated last week that he was calling from the IRS and she had an outstanding $19,000 Tax debt. He demanded an immediate payment of 800 sum dollars by phone, Today when called, he left a long message leaving his number and told mom to have a Blessed Day!
