caller left message saying to return call about problem with your income tax. Called back and hung up twice. Number is calling from private residence on Nicasio Valley Road, in mtns outside San Francisco.
Reported to FTC. btw, IRS does not make phone calls to you, everything done by mail.
I wish these individuals would stop the threaten phone calls for the IRS tax litigation department 415-662-8528 They call me 2 times a day requesting payment. I realized after speaking to this guy with a heavy accent that they where not the IRS first thing I never received any paper work. This should be a federal crime they should not be able to harass people everyday or even allowed to impersonate a federal area of the government.
I took a call for my in-laws as they were not home. Caller had a very, very thick accent and stated that he was from the IRS and gave me a reference number. The funny thing is, I listened to my voicemail at home with a message from the same caller and a different reference number. I called the number and when I questioned the gentleman, he hung up on me. I called and told him this was a scam and he said, "yes this is a scam" and hung up.
Got the same type of call re: IRS. Heavily accented English. Could barely understand what she was saying. Threatening. Don't wait to call us. IRS something or other - couldn't understand, even though I listened to the message twice. Total scam
Threatened to arrest me and would not give me any information on my case just that I owed money and that the sherriff was coming to get me in the morning
I've received 4 calls from these people (415-662-8528) with the same threats. I verified with the IRS that they are scammers, The Agent recommended I call the local police department; they referred me to the Attorney General's office. I was told that since no passing of information or money had occurred, there was nothing that could be done and that to hang up on them was the right thing to do. I agree with the above memo from Angie; this should be considered a Federal Crime, since they're impersonating IRS agents. I'm surprised that neither the IRS nor the Attorney General's office don't have these people under investigation.
