These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement.
If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.
It's a phone scam.In fact, it tops the IRS "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams this year, and it's been surging in recent months, the agency said Thursday.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, has received reports of 290,000 scam calls since October 2013 and said nearly 3,000 victims have been swindled out of $14 million so far.
By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.
Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.
They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.
Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.
The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.
If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.
Funny, just earlier this week I was reading about this scam, and lo and behold I got a call today from some nasty A-Hole with thick Indian accent telling me I have Immediate Tax Due Payment! Oh my, what I am to do! I told this scumbag to go have sex with his pet Elephant. What a pleasure it is to swear of OUT LOUD at IRS guy ( even if his is full of S****)!!! Try it people, it will make your day.
Received a phone call from computer voice claiming that my SSN was being observed for criminal activity and claimed if I didnt return call then legal proceedings would occur. Then received second call from someone named Kevin Marshall with the same call back number. Tired of this.
Last week my parents received a voicemail on their landline phone from 714-551-0062. Female voice with no accent claiming something to the effect "that my parent's social security numbers were compromised resulting in illegal misuse and some sort of debt was accumulated. Caller said they needed to call them as soon as possible as they may be able to help them with this problem". LET KARMA AWAIT ALL OF THESE TERRIBLE PEOPLE WHO IN DUE TIME SHALL RECEIVE THEIR PUNISHMENT WHICH UNFORTUNATELY HAS "NO LIMITS"!
I received the same message. I called them back and said "Per my attorney the IRS does not call and leave voicemail" and before I could get past attorney they hung up.
