Received two calls in one day from 607-735-0855 and 315-458-7682, caller ID's both showed them from "NEW YORK", and both a poor automated voice recording stating that this was my last chance to avoid arrest/persecution and demanded I call the "IRS" at 347-305-6110.
1) The IRS never contacts people via the phone and never threatens a person, especially using a generic voice recording and NOT stating your full name and giving a contact name.
2) Communications would be via a 1-800 (toll free) number, if there are IRS issues and that would be ONLY after a USPS mailed formal communication is sent and specific issues have already been initialized. Again a IRS agent name, your name and other relevant information will be included in documentation.
3)
A clue, if one chooses to play with them and check for legitimacy, when calling their "must call this number" 347-306-6110, always preceded dialing these with the "*67" to block your number. If your blocked number is NOT accepted, that is a clue that they are harvesting numbers. (Collecting numbers to use again as active victims or to sell to other scammers). If the call is rejected, there is a 99% these people are nothing but criminals.
i got a call from this number. Indian accent guy saying he was from IRS and I must call back in 1/2 hour or face criminal charges against my SS number!!!! What a scam.
A computerized or pre-recorded woman's voice leaves a message claiming to be the IRS and saying this will be my last warning to call the IRS at #202-747-2156 before they file a suit against me.
I had the same thing. Pre-recorded message claiming to be from the IRS and that this was my final notice or they were going to initiate a lawsuit against me. The IRS doesn't inform someone by pre-recorded message that they are going to sue someone. That's just ridiculous!!!!!
