Please beware of this number. Supposedly, it is the IRS criminal department calling where they will provide you with a badge number and case number where you have to pay a fee for tax fraud. This is completely false, do not pay it, call your local sheriff department and report them, like the fraud they are. They will inform you that the sheriff department will come to your house and serve you with the documents and arrest you for the fraud you have committed. This is the scare tactic they used so you could pay them immediately, don't buy into it. The local sheriff department does not get involve with this matter. The IRS have their own policing force which is part of the treasury department. Besides, the IRS will make numerous attempts via certified mail to make sure you have received the documents before calling. I am hoping this note will help someone.
PHONE CALL FROM 301-760-2124 ON 4-10-2015 AT 11:58 AM PST
I GOT A CALL YESTERDAY 4-10-2015 FROM A COMPUTER OPERATED SYSTEM, IDENTIFYING ITSELF AS THE IRS AND TO CALL BACK IMMEDIATELY. WHEN I CALLED BACK A MAN ANSWERED THE PHONE GAVE ME MY NAME, ADDRESS, BIRTH DATE AND LAST FOUR NUMBERS OF MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. HE TOLD ME THAT SOMEONE HAD FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST ME FOR TAX FRAUD FROM THE IRS. WHEN I TOLD HIM I WAS ALREADY WORKING WITH A REVENUE OFFICER, HE SAID THANK YOU AND HUNG UP. I CALLED BACK AGAIN AND THEY WOULD NOT TALK TO ME OTHER THAN TO SAY I WOULD BE RECEIVING SOMETHING IN THE MAIL. I TRIED TO CALL THEM BACK AGAIN USING*67 AND THEY REFUSED TO ANSWER THE PHONE. MAY THEY BURN IN HELL.
Yes. The recorded message was that I needed to call immediately if I didn't want to risk dire consequences from the IRS. I knew it was fraud immediately.
Just received a threatening message from these people. DO NOT believe this, it's a scam. Calls like this have cheated millions out of people in the past. I received similar calls last year like this. The IRS usually contacts by mail, not over the phone. Don't fall for it.
Yup, just happened to me too. left a message to call the IRS, time sensitive issue and all that jazz. Thanks for all the above comments, this helps me to reinforce my initial gut feeling that it was nothing but a fraud
