I received a phone call today, February 9, 2015 at 12:40PM EST, purportedly from an Officer Amy Brown (badge number IR40215). She gave me her phone number of (202)436-9098. She said that the IRS is suing me (case number CD8642CA) and asked if I have a criminal lawyer representing me, but she would not elaborate what the lawsuit is about. I asked for the 800 number and extension that I could reach her, and she said she has to talk to her supervisor on how to proceed and never called back.
I emailed TIGTA and they confirmed it is an impersonator in a scam.
I received a message from an Indian gentleman claiming to be from the IRS Legal Department. When I called them back at the number left for me to call (202)657-5061, an Indian Lady stated that I was being sued by the IRS and I was going to be arrested for tax fraud. The advised me that I needed to get a criminal lawyer, and when I questioned her, she got very hostile, and argumentative. We ended the call by her telling me that she was sending a police officer to my house and the address she gave me was correct. This was a very unnerving call to know that these people had my name address and phone number.
Called, stated that they were calling from the legal affairs office of the US dept of treasury regarding tax fraud and wanted personal information from me. I refused to give any info without further ID from them.
Received a call from a woman with a heavy Indian (or similar) accent, purporting to be from the Dept of Legal Affairs, Dept of Treasury, IRS, saying there was a "legal affidavit" concerning fraud, asking me to call this number. Some of it was hard to understand, due to the accent. I was urged not to ignore the call, and to have my attorney call if I didn't. I didn't respond to the call, Googled the phone number, and found that others had received similar calls. Would like to know what would happen if a person did call back.
