I received a phone call from a man with a Indian accent who claimed to be calling from the IRS Investigations Bureau in San Francisco, California. He said that I had a legal allegation against me and that I had to call his senior officer Kevin Peterson immediately at the number 530 289 6409 regarding my case number CRI1624. He said that they would not mail anything and he insisted I needed to call right now to the number. When I called there was only a loud beep. Then I called the real IRS and interestingly enough their voicemail said that all IRS offices were closed. I heard someyhing similar on news because of the government shutdown. So this sounds like a scam. Especially because I have no current irs issues.
Received a call from this number on 10-7-2013. I did not answer and he left a message...a message I could NOT understand! It was as if he was not even speaking English. The only words I understood were "income tax." Figured this HAD to be a scam, but checked on this page anyway. I always look up phone numbers before I will call anyone back, and I certainly will NOT give out information over the phone. Obviously there are naïve people out there, though, or they wouldn't keep trying.
10/8 I just had a message on my phone from this number 530-289-6409 took me several times listening to the msg to make out what this clown was saying. Heavy Indian accent. I guess these people aren't aware of our government shut down.. yet another scam
About a month ago I got a call from an Indian man
Telling me he was calling from the IRS AND THAT
I had to return the call immidiately because it was
Time sensitive. The number was 530 289 6409
He said if I had an attorney that he had to call
Regarding my back taxes and that if I don't take
Care of this the sheriff would be at my front
Door. I do not owe taxes to the IRS. This call
Was again returned to me today and this Indian
Man said his name was Harry Morgan with a very
Strong accent and I couldn't make out what he said
I called back and I spoke with someone and they told
Me that I had outstanding taxes and that I had reached
The investigation department of the IRS. He told
Me that I owed taxes for 2005 and that I was in
Trouble. I had asked him to give me the address
And social security number on file and he couldn't
answer me. ATTENTION ALL THIS IS A BIG SCAM
SCAM SCAM SCAM. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY
INFORMATION ABOUT YOU. it just concerns me
How they got my name and last name and telephone
Number. Be ware
Very upset
I just got this same message, claiming that they were looking for someone named Jonathan Smith (clearly not my name) regarding an IRS audit. Never had any IRS issues, definitely don't know anyone named Jonathan Smith & when I called the number, there was only a loud beep.
