I received a second message from this number that I committed a tax fraud on my federal tax. The time was 1.11 PM from Washington D.C. My first notification was 9.23 AM from Longview Washington (360-200-4483) stating that I committed a tax fraud on my federal tax. Both callers left a message and the voice was that same.
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Block and ignore. DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter. But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters. 90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively. IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes. IRS has no powers of arrest. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of money. IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone. IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case. No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments. Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement. All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals. All contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

Claims to be IRS regarding a tax fraud. DO NOT ANSWER OR CALL BACK. It is widely known that the IRS would never contact by phone. The IRS will only contact you by mail.
Do you really and truly believe that the person that is calling you will actually see that post and somehow magically know who to stop calling? Did you put any thought into that post? My guess would be no.
