I got the tax scam phone call from this number today (13 May 2015). They are getting it more and more polished all the time. The caller had a New York accent, not a foreign one. He provided my home address and asked why I have not responded to correspondence sent to that address. (The reason is because I received no such mail, of course). He said my past 7 years of tax returns all have errors or fraud and will be audited. Most importantly, he said he was faxing a warrant for my arrest to local law enforcement within about 45 minutes. At one point he did ask if I could afford a lawyer or if I needed one to be appointed. I told him I could hire my own lawyer. LOL, probably a mistake; now he'll take my bluff to heart and think I am Daddy Warbucks, sell my info to all sorts of scammers.
Interestingly, this guy told me my alleged failure to file correctly was treasonous and a violation of the laws of the Constitution. That was special.
This caller did not ask for money. I expect I will receive a call from someone purporting to be local law enforcement soon. That person will go ahead and run the money pitch on me.
Similar message here, female accented voice purported to "IRS charges and other issues will be pressed against me" Number they called came from my CV posted online. ...LOL. Anyone gets similar idiocy, just ignore it, clearly they are targeting silly people that can not put two and two together. .
Called my college student claiming to be IRS Collection Agent, stating there were 3 warrants out for her arrest for filing false tax returns. Said my daughter did not have any right to an attorney and the local police were being notified! It was VERY BAD and horribly upsetting to a student who has never been required to file a tax return yet! Woman said her name was Sharon Narton but had a foreign accent. Have reported it to local law enforcement.
05-13-15 ..Phone call from the number today. Jake Johnson who spoke with some accent, but clearly understood him. He was from the IRS Investigative Services. There were perjury charges being considered against me. I should call him right away so he could help make these charges go away before I wind up going to a Federal Prison for tax fraud. Yeah..OK.. Let me get right on that. These idiots don't scare me, but they sure do make me angry.
The "agent" scolded me for not repeating the "case number" she had just stated to me. I said I don't need to and she started getting upset. I asked for her agent number and she stated some numbers. I asked, "did you just make that up" and she didn't know what to say. I'm an attorney...so I said you know you just called a law firm and that your phone number is posted all over the internet...and then she hung up.
