I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. 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. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. 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 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.
This perky woman called twice today saying to call back immediately regarding a legal issue. I'm not calling anybody back. If you have an issue you write me and we will resolve it. I do not answer unknown numbers. Why don't we all contact the media and report this number? This way others will be aware that it is a scam!
Left message on answering machine and when I called it back they told me they had a warrant out for my arrest since I had ignored previous messages regarding the US Treasury. I asked them how they knew it was the correct number for whomever they were trying to reach and they said they know who they are talking to but no name was ever given. I told them I knew this was a scam and the man said you are a [***] and hung up on me so I called back from my cell phone and asked for my name and I said I would not give it but I told them the home number they had called the first and he said you are the f*** [***] that called back before. I proceeded to tell him government offices do not handle themselves in this manner and he proceeded to tell me to suck his d** and I hung up.
