I got this phone call today from the following number it's a female with a India accent my caller id says 415-484-8341 San Francisco/North Bay Area. Telling me to dial that number and a Kenneth Webster pick up with a non foreign accent telling me I owe in interest and penalties of $2800 while the female said $10000. Don't give out any of your information to these people
I got the same message on Friday, they called at 6 am and the guy "John Walker" with a heavy Indian accent said the same message "you have a deficiency on your income tax"...interesting choice of words. I called back, and no answer. Checked the IRS webpage and as everyone else stated, it is a 800. I will report this call. Thank you everyone who shared there experiences.
We received a call stating in broken English that is was Debra Jackson with some Department of the IRS. "Very important nature" "Urgent" . . . .
Called back, someone answered, but I could not hear and could not understand - sounded like bad reception
After that, everytime I call back, just one beep, and nothing.
Today I called and get a recorded "cannot complete the call, please try again"
Maybe someone is shutting them down? Hope so!

It's because the originators of this scam is coming from India. It isn't the lack of ability to locate, it is the lack of cooperation from foreign governments in seeking prosecution.
