IRS will always write. IRS never calls. Above all IRS will never threaten you, IRS will never make an offer to settle your case over phone. Whatever IRS does, it will be in writing, and you will get a chance to contest or appeal your case with facts.
IRS has enormous resources and it will find your correct current mailing address if it needs to reach you.
If someone's calls and threatens you over phone with an arrest or big fines or punishment, it is a scam. That is not how our American justice system works. Don't fall for scams. Scams support criminal, terrorist groups.
I got a call at 5:00 a.m. Pacific time so call woke me up! Claiming to be from IRS and caller ID showed Washington D.C. but accent was so strong, I could hardly make out what he was saying. Now WHY would IRS CALL?? SCAMMER!! Hung up before he could finish talking and giving his "pitch"!!!
My elderly parents receive a phone call from a Devin Marshall, rude as hell individual stating he was from the IRS and that they owed money. My parents are disabled and in panic. I finally googled the phone number and found this blog. Thank you for the peace of mind.
Received a call Tuesday @ 8.51am Male with heavy Indian Accent Named as Jason Stewart 2025069166
IRS INCOME TAX INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT in Washington DC ,
Said I have not Reported my Income Taxes Fully for last year.
So I told him normally IRS always sends out in writing with any tax returns issues which I expect
to receive for any issues on my Tax Returns.
Why he was calling from Washington DC as I do not File over there as my are done in California so I
started asking him more questions with a response from him getting more aggressive towards me and call his Senior
Officer Damon Marshall on 2025069166 Immediately or face legal action from IRS as was asking too many questions repeatedly so will hung up now which he did.
So called the # as given with no answer and voice mail message box full and cannot leave any messages or call back later again (Did Call Twice) same thing.
Fact is I have not filed my last years taxes yet which created a concern so investigated further and came across this Scam Issues So Beware.....
