I recieved a call from this fraud team, I knew they were fraud so I told them that I will report them, and they started using abusing words against me and threatend me.
Yes it is a scam. IRS never initiates contact by phone. You get a letter from the regional office if there is a tax deficiency. Then, at that point, you can call the number on the letter and discuss the matter with a real agent.
Yes I got the call from some body to call back ken Webster with difficulty I was able to reach him, he was rude said he is IRS officer and my arrest warrants are out for back taxes. I actually get refund every year but this spoiled my day.
I also got a call from this number this morning at 5.00am. the lady's accent was very difficult to understand. she claimed to call from the IRS. I told her she is crazy and I hung up. the same day 1/23/14 she called again at 10.00am and left a message, repeated the same message.
My father just got the same call from 1-415-690-1141 with the same story. I decided to search the number and came across this. Thanks for all your input. I wont be calling back. Oh and he said he was from the IRS
