I received call from Alex Baker basically telling me the same thing I see here above. He said he was with the IRS and that I had to immediately call his boss, Kenneth Webster at 415 691 7195. I told him I would call the IRS first to confirm he worked with them. I then called the IRS help line and they said they did have an employee named Alex Baker (I'm sure the real IRS Alex had nothing to do with this). The fake Alex said if I didn't contact them immediately, the IRS would suit me because there was a problem with my tax return. After speaking with the help line at the real IRS, and checking with them to make sure my account was indeed in good order, I was given the 800 number to the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration and report this fraudulent caller. I haven't called them yet. Also, when I did call back the 415 691 7195 number, all I got was a quick beep.
I then went online and typed in "Alex Baker and Kenneth Webster, fake IRS agents" and found this page and another one describing the same situation and with same people's names. The only thing that changed is the phone number but all the complaints on this page start with area code 415.
I got several call today as every one had mentioned. Please do not send any money to them at all !!
Please report and have government agencies investigate them : Kenneth Webster 415-691-7195
More or less the same as above. Heavy Indian accent, said he was calling on behalf of Kenneth Webster. Had my address wrong, said he was calling from San Francisco, but when I asked him what time it was there he gave me East Coast time
Gave the number 415-691-7195
Similar deal with me today. "Alex Baker," heavy Indian-Pakistani-like accent, supposedly of "IRS Department," asking for my wife. Wants her to call him back at 415-691-7195.
Received a call from 415-484-8569 claiming to be Michelle Brown & Kenneth Webster from the irs & that I owed back taxes & I was going to get arrested today if I didn't pay. I told him "do what you gotta do". He got very angry with me. I then hung up & called my CPA. He tried to call the number & it was already disconnected. He said it was a scam. That's when we found other complaints of this type. They are using a different number.
