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.

10 min ago I received a phone call from 347-539-4090.
It is the second time they are calling me from different phone number.
They introduced themselves as IRS representatives.
They told me that I own money to IRS and need to get Money Order from Money Gram to bring to officer. They were trying to fright me, so I do what they want.
Yesterday - June 25, 2015 - at 9:47am Eastern Time I received a scam IRS call from an unlisted number to my mobile phone (Verizon). The caller (middle-aged female voice with an accent that I couldn't place) left the following voice message :
"This message is intended for <Firstname> <Lastname>. My name is ?Sharon? ?Norson? and I'm calling you from the investigation department of the Internal Revenue Service. This call is to inform you that there is a legal case which has been filed under your name. Your social and physical address is under federal investigation, so before we start with the legal actions against you, make sure you give us a call back at our department callback number which is 347-539-4090. I repeat 347-539-4090. Thank you and have a great day."

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
Received a call from this number saying that she was a representative of the IRS and they were filing a claim against me. She kept asking me for my mobile phone number, I refused like always and she became very angry with me and ended the phone call
