Yes....definitely IRS imposter scam. Doubtful this phone number can be traced? Encourage everyone to purchase portable boat air horn and call these [***] frequently and ask that they speak up and then blast the horn into your phone. [***] them up..!!
A man with a foreign accent saying he was calling me from the IRS concerning taxes I owe told him to get lost. Isnt there anything that can stop this kind of robbery.
Actually, i was very impressed with all the details he provided--his name, his id number, the case number, the amount of the fine (&75,000), etc. Of course, he gave all information to me but thought he was talking to a woman. He had asked for verification of my name, but i would not give it to him--but he did have the address right. My voice sounded like a woman's--my tenor voice. However, when i told him i was going to turn myself in--to the local police department. He told me not to hang up--but to take the phione with me. I told him that was impossible. I was on a land line. He hung up me--before i could promise to pay whatever he wanted. Too funny really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About all you can do is invest in a call blocker and also do not pick up on numbers you do not recognize. These are hard core Indian or Pakistani scammer/extortionists and as such beyond the reach of US law.
