The guy calls me around 8:00 am telling me that I owe money. His name is Ricky Johnson and is calling from the IRS. I call the "other number" to get in contact with Michael Carter, 415 251 8504, and I ask him for Michael Carter. I tell him that I really need to speak with Michael. The guy tells me that Michael is on holiday, so I grill him asking what holiday it is. I tell him that the IRS doesn't operate on the weekend and Mike needs to know the difference from holidays and vacations. He needs a talk from HR. They'll pick up if you want to troll. These people are terrible and claim to be a major government institution. The IRS will usually send a letter or take back taxes/tax related charges out of your following refund. They'll send a letter before ever calling.
Received a call from a person with heavy accent from India, saying that I have an IRS violation on tax Fraud, and that I will go to jail if I don't pay
My wife received a call from a "Zach Thomas" saying we needed to call 415-251-8504 asking for our lawyers number for Michael Carter, When i got on the phone they hung on me. I called this number back consistently for 30 min after they hung up on me and they kept hanging up. They finally stayed on the line and i called the IRS Treasury inspector general while they were on the line with me and all i could do was leave a message on that number. I kept it on speakerphone so they could hear me leaving the message and afterwards they hung up. I called back again and spoke to another person "Alex" after several minutes of going back and forth I was able to get his real indian name and when i asked why he told me alex he said it was his pseudo name, i asked why he was lying and saying they were the IRS and he said it was his job, I asked what call center he was calling from in India and he denied it and stated they were in San Fran. So to say the least this is a scam dont fall for it. I had fun for an hour bugging them though.
I received a call from this number from people claiming to be IRS employees saying there was some sort of miscalculation in the system in which I owed them over $6000 and I would be arrested the following day if I wouldn't comply.
