Really bad recorded voice claiming to be the IRS (and had to actually SAY that it was the Internal Revenue Service - just in case I didn't know what IRS actually meant. Well since I write them a check every quarter to pay taxes - I'm pretty sure I know what IRS stands for). Called 2x in 3 hours and left the recorded message that I was going to be sued by the IRS. Bring it on baby! What a joke. Get a life. Better yet - get a job instead of trying to scam people over the phone. Low life scum.
Some low-life piece of garbage cant help but to try and get people to give him their hard-earned money by claiming to be the IRS. This useless human to lazy to earn a living bought an auto-dialer along with a list of names and numbers and thought, "how can i STEAL and SCAM some people for money? Oh, i know! Ill claim to be the IRS! just need to write a script, have my computer read it out loud as i record it and BOOM! FREE MONEY! because, (in a muffled, sobbing whine) nobody ever helped ME do anything with my useless life!"
To those that recieve this call, JUST HANG UP, its a sad human trying to do something that will make him get up off the floor in the morning. the IRS wont call you, simple as that.
I just got a call from this number and it was also an IRS scam. I hate to sound naive but I fell for it at first until the guy told me to go to Target with $1000. I then grabbed one of my coworkers because I was a bit shaken up during the call and he got on the phone and confronted the "IRS" agent of course the guy hung up at that time and blocked me from calling him back.
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Block and ignore. DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government. Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter. But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters. 90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively. IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes. IRS has no powers of arrest as related to ordinary tax disputes. Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime. IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of money. IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone. IRS does not accept Green card money paks or Itunes cards or similar for payment in any case. No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments. Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement. All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals. All contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.
Effective in April of 2017, the IRS will start using private debt collectors who may, in fact contact you. Note the IRS will notify you by mail that your account is being turned over to a private group. The private collector will then send you another letter. They may call you after that point.
