Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.
Got a call from this number stating said, "...attorney of record to return the call. The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. I am officer Julie Smith from Internal Revenue Service and the hotline to my position is 415-506-1282. I repeat, it’s 415.... Don’t disregard this message and do return the call before we take any action against you. Good-bye and take care." THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT CALL BACK. THAT JUST EMBOLDENS THEM.
Received two calls this morning from: (415) 506-1282. San Francisco/North Bay Area
IRS does not place calls like this but I called back to see who this was. Phone picked up once and I heard people in background. Second and third times went to an unidentified voicemail. A fourth time I was disconnected.
Here is the vm they left me as translated by my home phone:
"Hi need you or your retained attorney of record to return the call the issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My name Officer. Julie Smith from internal revenue service and I will listen to my division is (415) 506-1282. I repeat it's (415) 506-1282 do not disregard this message do return the call before we take any action. They get you goodbye and take care."
Just got a call from this number (415-506-1282) stating they were from the IRS and I needed to contact them immediately. Called them back and it was a Magic Jack phone.
I received a call from this number/Julie Smith/IRS this morning as well...thankfully, I am fully aware that I do NOT owe the Fed anything therefore this call is bogus. It is frightening to think what is happening to many elderly individuals who might become frightened by such a call. Is there an agency we can submit these calls to that can track these criminals down?
I received two messages within the span of about 30 mins from the same number and it's the same computer generated voice "Officer Julie Smith" from the IRS. What a scam.
