These guys have sweat shops set up in India and elsewhere that do VoIP call forwarding so it looks like they are from the US but they are not. They have auto dialers to do DoS (Denial of Service) on companies and light up the entire switchboard. They are extortionists that are scaring people into sending money. We called the around, even the FBI, and nothing can be done. If you call the carrier from where this number originates, they will shut the number down but that is only an irritant for them and doesn't solve anything. All you can do is don't talk to them and they will get bored and move along.
I have received 3 messages to date from this number, left on my cell phone. Male caller with heavy Indian/Pakistani accent represented himself as an IRS agent. He threatened legal action if I did not respond to this "time sensitive" call. All calls originated from (415) 251 - 3754.
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE RECIEVED THIS TYPE OF PHONE CALL FROM THIS NUMBER. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO THEY WERE DOING A SIMILAR SCAM ONLY NOT CALLING THEMSELVES THE IRS. IT WAS ALONG THE SAME LINES WITH THE LAWSUIT. THEY ARE EVEN USING THE SAME NAMES.
I received a call from Sonya on my answering machine. She had a heavy foreign accent and it was hard to understand most of the words other than 'IRS', 'avoid legal action', 'call immediately'. I called the number and Michelle Brown answered Internal Revenue Investigations and said she was the lead investigator. She asked if I was aware of my back tax issues. When I said I do not have any issues with the IRS she hung up on me. There you have it... total scam!
He says he is from the IRS and for me not to ignor his call. I answered the phone, but he did not say anything. Then he left me a message stating I needed to call him back because I have an IRS debt. I called the number back and you cannot leave a message because the mail box is full. I believe this to be a scam.
I got a call from a guy with very broken English, he said to call back a number regarding my irs debt. I called the guy he told me to and he said that the programs have changed (I'm on a payment plan) and that if I didn't send $2000 an officer would come out to my house or office and arrest me. I panicked and am so glad I googled the number.
