Got a call from 202-846-0115 some automated message claiming to be the IRS and that I need to call ASAP and do not block this number as they have my SSN. Automated message said to call 202-846-0499. Not even going to waste my time with this, blocking the number.
These people have been calling me all day i finally answer and they state they are an officer with the irs in a very heavy Indian accent. They could not pronounce my name right so i told them it wasn't me he then told me i was a liar and i needed to Stop lying. My husband took the phone to tell them to Stop calling the man on the phone told him he was going to come rape his wife and rape him as well. He also called us dirty Americans. Its ridiculous and i feel bad for anyone that believes these idiots.
The IRS reminds people that they can know pretty easily when a supposed IRS caller is a fake. Here are five things the scammers often do but the IRS will not do. Any one of these five things is a tell-tale sign of a scam. The IRS will never:
Call to demand immediate payment, nor will we call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill..
Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe.
Require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card.
Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.
Threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.
