message was from Richard Lewis! Heavy indian accent! He hung up on me after i told him i wouldnt pay! Said the police will arrest me. 713-931-5197 I R S scam!!!
Received several calls today with him saying he was from IRS and I owe money. I said i don't believe you. He said if i hang up the phone. The police would come arrest me. I said ok tell them to come on. I hung up then immediately got a call that read on caller id as emergency call from 911. Uh ok. Then he called me again. Omg so annoying..
A few calls from this number that I haven't answered. I have received voice mails from a similar number claiming to be the IRS, so same scammers trying a different number.
Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.

Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
I got a call giving the name Officer Jason Clark and a badge number telling me that if I didn't call back, then police would be sent to my home to arrest me... If you're going to use the name Jason Clark, don't have a thick middle-eastern accent. Too funny, sad that people fall for this type of stuff.
