This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.

As general background information, here are a few things you can do:
1) Report it to TIGTA under http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml especially if you have become a victim (lost money, gave personal information etc.). You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint (include “IRS Telephone Scam" in your complaint). This way you can also help the government establish specific fraud patterns.
2) Help kill their phone lines. The scammers use Voice over IP lines (e.g. magicJack (Ymax corporation)) to make it seem as if they are calling from the US. This is always against these companys' terms of service and can lead to immediate termination of their contract and blocking of their IP addresses for future attempts to register. Do a reverse look up of their telephone number (e.g. www.whitepages.com) to identify the Voice over IP provider and report it to the company and/or law enforcement (local police and/or state attorney general)
3) If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction and provide US law enforcement agencies with the political backing and the resources they need to work in India and Pakistan together with local authorities (it can happen, read: http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ex-call-cen ... mmission-320427). A US task force has already been set up in Jamaica to nab scammers there (see http://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/library/reports/cornerstone/cornerstone7-1.pdf). You can use the following template for your letter (more powerful!) or email:
keeps calling me, sounds like 3 people, 2 men and 1 woman. Annoying. I tell them each time stop scamming then the man if not on the phone come to the line starts cussing me out. Telling me he is coming to arrest me if i don't send him wired money gram using only cash through walmart money transfer or similar western union to send money. The dollar amount they determine is what ever amount you have in pocket now unless your willing to go to your atm to get more. They will stay on the phone with you as long as it takes if they think your going to send them money on the spot. Do people really fall for this?
on 10/5/14 at about 2:45 P.M. (PDT) I received a call with a record m who said it was from Agent Julie Smith of the Internal Revenue Service and that I had to call back imeaditly or legal action would be taken. The recording told me to call (202) 241-0883 and that was also the message that appeared on my telephone display.
