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.
IRS enforcement by court or administrative action is a last resort. They always start by sending you a statement showing their position relative to you tax claims. This is always done by US mail. The IRS DOES NOT initiate actions with either phone calls or e-mails . Most IRS offices are more than happy to work with the tax payer to resolve disputes without either administrative or court action. No way would the IRS start a court action over deductions without going through a lengthy negotiation process with the tax payer.
This is a common scam run by extortionists working out of India.
How about reporting them to the FBI
I hope they will be caught and put in jail.
Too bad morons like them have nothing better to do with their miserable life.
All you had to do is tell them you are reporting their telephone number to the FBI. I bet you, had you said that, they would have hung up the telephone immediately.
Just had a call from phone number 1-415-251-8504. An Indian Lady with such a thick accent left a message that I needed to call regarding a tax lawsuit against me and to call their tax litigation dept. immediately. She gave a claim number too. Her accent was so thick that I could hardly make out what she was saying. Plus she didn't even use my full name. I decided to check the internet before calling this piece of [***]! Thank God for that and the internet! I could only imagine how many people would get scammed with out the web to check these kind of things!
