I have received several calls from this number from a guy who says he is Derrick Brown from the IRS and that my husband must call back and ask for Michael Carter and gives a reference number. Although I am making payments to the IRS, I have the correct name and phone number to the gentleman at IRS who is facilitating me with our IRS claim. THIS IS A SCAM!
Got the same call from a man w/broken English who said he was calling about my income tax and it was a "time sensitive" issue and I needed to call back asap. He left a reference number but when I called back a female answered. I gave her the reference number then she proceeded to tell me I was not who I said I was. I told her someone called me left a reference number so why would I be calling back if Im not the person the message was left for. She said something else I couldnt understand then hung up. Every time I call back (even on different phones) when they realize its me they hang up.
I got a call from (415) 690-8134, and an Indian-accented male told me he was the IRS. I referenced the "case number" which was left on the message for me, and he pulled it up and knew my name. He said I was going to be arrested on Monday. He read me some long legal-sounding notice and then when I said it was a mistake and I knew nothing of what he was talking about he said I would be arrested and he hung up.
Got a call at 10:05 am Saturday 12/14/2013. I was told that I was under investigation due a discrepancy in my taxes. I asked why I had not received correspondence and apparently I should have already received something. I found it rather odd that they would call on a weekend of all things. Oh, and yes, their English was severely broken.
Anyway, I was supposed to contact this number and ask for a "Michael Carter". All I got was a beep when I called that number. This smelled so much like a scam it was humorous.
