received a call from this number where the guy claimed to be an IRS agent. He threatened me with police involvement and deportation because I was being investigated for fraud. I did not verify any info with him and hung up. I contacted the police and reported the incident. I also called the IRS directly to verify the alleged charges. The IRS does not threaten anyone, nor will they contact you via phone initially, you will have a mountain of paperwork on their letterhead regarding any action/investigation they are performing involving you before they will call you. and when they do call you it will not be from a cellular phone like this idiot did to me.
Someone called me from 202-239-7073. Such an idiot. He didn't speak English very well and tried to convince me that the IRS was initiating an investigation on me for fraud or something like that. I plainly told him once the IRS reach out to me, i will then retain a lawyer. He hung up.
Received a message on my cell phone from a person with a thick accent saying this call if for (my full name) from a person calling himself Senior C.I. Officer James Price from some company, sounded like Tex Cline Investigations and something about an arrest; he said word-for-word "the reason for the call is that I have been listed as a primary suspect in a case being filed by the IRS; needed me or my attorney to return the call before they proceed further with any steps against my name; if I failed to return the call, they would not be responsible for any consequences that I may face in my future; goodbye and have a blessed day." Since my professional background in the past 30 years has been in the legal field and law enforcement, I knew this was a scam. If there was any investigation by the IRS, they would contact you by certified letter. I hope no one falls for this.
This same foreign person has called me and said these exact same lines to me. I am a college student and do my taxes every year. Get out of here! Someone needs to shut this person up.
Just saw a message in my answer machine from Jeff Hoffman claiming to be an IRS agent, and that I was under federal investigation with the IRS. it was hard to understand the phone he gave me, he had an indian accent. this seems like a scam, so I disregard this call!
