Arrest these scammers, where is our government when we need them in instances such as these. Please everyone, file a complaint with the IRS and the FTC or innocent people will continue to be hoodwinked out of hard earned and much needed income.
Vivian Sanders has had a couple of active days calling people with the same IRS scam. I do wonder where they are getting these phone numbers? All you need to Google is "IRS scam" and lots of pages show up. I pay my tax accountant big bucks just so that there are never errors on my return. The IRS does not call people on the phone, they send out a letter and you darn sure would meet with an auditor first if there was any question about your tax return. Unavailable or private called shows up on caller ID when they call. These are very likely robo calls to blocks of people trying to sucker someone into giving out personal information and sending money. If they are "Unavailable" I will be too.
I just got a message today, June 27th 2014 , on my answering machine from a number 202 751 2543 claiming they were the IRS and that I was guilty of tax evasion. I called them, they were very rude and said that as I didn't answer to a letter that had been sent to me in March (that I have of course never received) , they will send the police to arrest me. They were rude and yelling at me, not at all what an IRS employee would do. They had a thick Spanish accent. I told them to send me a letter as I didn't understand what they wanted; I also told them that the IRS wouldn't contact someone through the phone just to tell them they will arrest them. They hung up. I called again to tell them that I had seen on internet they were a scam. They hung up.
