Got a strange call for my wife this morning before 7 AM from the IRS. We didnt pickup. It was from a 415-251-9252.
On the voicemail, he was an Indian accent and I cant hardly understand him. Besides, what IRS agent works that early anyhow!
Good thing, I searched the internet to find this is a scam!
I also got the same message from this guy (heavy Indian accent). The message was exactly the same as what Scam Hunter described above. Now I know this is a scam. Thanks for posting guys.
I received a call on 2/15 at 6:50am from Susan Brown leaving a message to call back the IRS at 415 251 9252 looking for my husband and not to ignore this call. I was wondering why the IRS would call us and not notify us in the mail. Then I called back asking to confirm it was the IRS, Michael Johnson answered the phone. He claimed I was being a stupid lady and that he would not be giving me any information and that I could wait til the sheriff's office can come and arrest both my husband and I. I told him that in this day and age there was a lot of fraud and I would like him to give me verification that this was the IRS. He called me a stupid lady giving him a hard time and not to call him back. I told him that I would like to speak with his manager or supervisor. He said I will not be receiving further information until the Sheriff contacts me. I told him that I didn't appreciate them calling me and harassing me. He told me not to call them back again and hung up. I then found this blog and felt much better. Unbelievable.
I got a call from this number. The first 2 times I let it go to the answering machine, on the third time I picked up the phone. The guy on the other end spoke with heavy Indian accent, stating he is calling from IRS. He said this twice, from Internal Revenue Service. Somehow he had our name. Does anyone know how to stop VoIP calls coming from a spoofed caller ID?
Got a message also from heavily accented Indian guy saying he's from IRS and to not disregard this message. Same spiel as other posters before me. TOTAL SCAM! Is there anything we can do to report them? I'd like to send the same sheriff they threatened us with to really pay THEM a visit! What scums!
This is a scam...they talk all nasty in Hindi. Beg for $1000 to send to his account because his mother need medical support. If you don't want to pay immediately, they will continue to scold you. Where to report this? innocent people are getting panic with these calls.
