Called to tell me I owed the IRS $13,000 and if I did not pay i would have charges files against me and sent to jail. If I wanted to handle immediately I could pay $2500 over the phone. This is a SCAM, do not fall for it. The IRS does not call, they notify you by mail first. Don't be a victim!!!!!
Has been calling me for days. Told me IRS has a criminal lawsuit. When I said this was a scam he told me that after I hang up the state police would be starting a criminal investigation of me. Bunch of bull and trying to get my SSN.
his is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for this.

The IRS does not initiate any legal action over the phone. Report it also to your local law enforcement agency. The scammers use voice over IP lines (e.g. magicjack (Ymax corporation). This is always against these companys' terms of use and can lead to termination of their contract. However only law enforcement can initiate the contact if you yourself are not a customer. Ultimately this is a case for the FBI legal attache in Islamabad or Delhi. 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 the NSA can finally be a force for good).
