I just received a phone call from these people. They should be arrested for what they are doing. They asked me for money and told me to keep it confidential. I didn't fall for their scam but some people might. It is so sad the lengths of what people will do out there to scam decent people. They called from this number 202-622-3000 and said I owed 3,642.00. They used case number 000425634892 be careful people.
Just got a call about case # 000425634892. Said I was in violation of federal tax regulations, IRS 6331H, and deception. I didn't file on time or pay on time. They knew my work number and home address!! Said the police were coming to my house if I hung up....... :(
I got a phone call today about the same case number. Raised an eyebrow when they said they sent two letters (they didn't) and that I needed a lawyer not a CPA and that they didn't have my tax return with my CPA's info. Also, they didn't call the # I give out. Googled the case number, and here we are. Scam.
I received the same call. He used the same information about an attorney.
He used the same case number. He said I was going to be arrested for tax fraud and I would be in jail for 180 days. I told him I hadn't received a letter from the irs. He then told me to be at my residence in the morning to be arrested!
At about 6:30 p.m. this idiot with a thick accent (thick enough to cut with a knife) called me claiming I had committed tax fraud between 2002 and 2007 and my immediate reaction was that this was some scammer. I said I didn't believe him and that he should stop harassing me. I got the B.S. question about the "notice," too. I reported the call to the IRS on their complaint page. Maybe he was Indian, maybe Arab, but it doesn't matter: stupid is as stupid does across borders.
