I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government. 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 as related to ordinary tax disputes. Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime. 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 or Itunes cards or similar 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.
I just got a call from 323-499-3497 sounds like a Robot and he said " the moment I receive this message he needs for me to return the call it is extremely time sensative to call his hotline 323-499-3497, that if he didn't hear back from me or my attorney that all he could do is wish me luck as this situation unfolds on me" 3/13/2017 11:32am
This person has stolen images of a woman and calls himself Helen. Claims to live in Dubai and that she has a son. According to " Helen " her husband is always gone and she needs someone to keep her company and wants to send you 500 hundred dollars weekly to cover your cost for keeping her happy. Yet no answer when you call and she can't skype etc else because she is busy running a modeling company and needs things to be discreet. Keep in mind, the husband is not around, and the modeling staff she claims that is there with her at some point as to go home to their houses. But not available same way. Beware. BEWARE
