this is an irs scam go to irs.gov to see info on this scam caller identified himself as officer john bell badge # 1010 with irs said I had miscalculated my taxes and owe over 8700.00 if it wasn't paid there would be a warrant issued and my drivers lic cancelled within 30 min. I told him that irs contacts my mail he said there was a snapshot of a officer leaving a notice on my steps. when I said I was calling the irs 800# to verify this he hung up. he was getting aggressive there toward the end wanted to know if I did my taxes wrong on purpose lol idiot
Got the same voice message on my cell phone saying it was the IRS and they had been trying to get a hold of me and I needed to call (360)200-4621. I called it and got a lady that couldn't speak very good English. She asked for my first and last name. I did not give her my name, I just simply asked her why they were calling me because I told her I knew the IRS did not contact people by phone. She didn't say anything, she just hung up. This is a scam!! This kind of stuff needs to stop! Yesterday my husband got a similar call on his cell phone from a collection agency, supposedly, saying we owed over $1,200.00!! Which is bogus!! They need to crack down on all these scammers!
I just received a call from this number and unlike the phone calls listed here on this site they'd mentioned a survey I had taken a while back and were claiming to want to ship my gift cards that I had earned to my house. It seemed ok at first because they mentioned the survey and even tho I wasn't sure how they knew about it I knew it was true I had taken the survey. Then they wanted credit card information and personal information that's not required for this type of thing. As soon as I said I don't have a credit card they just hung up out of the blue. I feel this phone number is not safe and am not sure how to report it........
I'm copying another reporter verbatim, as my call was identical to his:
Recorded female voice (American accent w/o inflection, possibly electronically simulated) states: "This call is officially a final notice from the IRS, Internal Revenue Services. The IRS is filing a lawsuit against you, etc...pls call (360)-200-4621". Despite the official sounding voice presentation, it made no sense. There hadn't been a "pre-final notice". No name, case number, instructions for the return call, or right to an attorney, etc. were mentioned. The # is listed as being in Washington State and did not match any IRS #s w/area code 306. It's clearly not legit and likely to have fraudulent aims.
