Received 2 missed calls from 516-344-1271. Checked and saw I had 2 new voicemails each left by a different person. The voicemails both said I had outstanding warrants for my arrest. Since I know i don’t have any legal issues i thought i would call back to see what this was about. When I called the number someone answered "IRS, this is (name) my badge number is (random number). I was informed that the warrants are for not filing taxes and that I have a large amount owed which could be cleared up over the phone. I said that’s not possible because I file every year and asked to speak with a manager. The girl said no you can speak with me very rudely then hung up. I was annoyed so i called back. Same greeting but a different person. I asked right away to speak with a manager and a guy said no you can speak with me. I said I was not paying anything and this was a scam. The guy replied 3 times "Hey ***, Hey ***, this is a scam, *** you."
I was obviously furious so I wanted to file a complaint here.
Thanks!

Tax evasion of $5,983 over last 5 years. Asked for my zip code. First person I spoke to sounded Asian, second India. Noise in background was similar to call center. Very difficult to hear person due to accent and noise. I was told to calm down and center myself. They said because I have no arrest record was why I was being contacted by phone. Told me having my taxes done by an accountant was for my convenience and I was lazy and not smart for that. I was to be arrested that day for tax evasion and to officers would be at my door to handcuff me. I said I didn’t have the money and needed time to ask a relative. I was instructed to do a third party call, but told I could not tell person on the line of the nature of why I was asking for money..they stayed on line. As they told me to stop crying I responded by telling them to stop talking down to me and behaving like a bully, that behavior got worse, so I told them to spell every word they were saying. Aggressive behavior escalated. Person gave name of Charles Green and ID # of IRN1164.

On May 10, 2018, I got my new phone service from Charter/Spectrum after finally saying goodbye to Verizon. Within 1 and 1/2 to 2 weeks, I received two very intimidating phone calls ( one I answered , and the other I never answered, but let it go to voice mail). The first was from Tuscon, AZ ( 520-815-7167), and the second ( 978-453-0202). I have caller id. I have not checked the area codes to even see if they are real. I only answered the first one because I have an Army son who is all over this world and sometimes I never know where he is. All I said was "Hello".
. Both said that they were the IRS and a warrant had been issued for my arrest and I needed to call those numbers to clear up the problem. The voices sounded very stern.
I know they were a scam, because the IRS does not call people like that.
My concern is that I have quite elderly friends from church who probably be taken in with such scams.
I saw your article about Common Scams in the Summer issue of All About Seniors on page 26, that I just picked up from church today.

I was asked if I wanted to resolve this issue or have them continue with the law suite. I was also told that I was given three previous notifications and that an IRS agent had been sent to my house. I was told that I sheriff would be sent to my workplace and I’d be arrested. When I started questioning and saying that I’d have to get back to them in an hour because I didn’t have the money in my account right now and of course I didn’t want any issues with the IRS. In the end the woman then asked me if I had the money in my account right now I said no. She then asked me "well what do you have in your account right now then." At this point I realized it was a scam and hung up the phone.

called my # and left message of a class action law suit from the I R S and left a number to call back 360-335-3137.
when I called the number I could understand the person and said someone call me and left this #. They hung up so I called them back, and that time some on answered and said "IRS" I asked if they were the Internal Revenue Service and they said yes. I asked where they were located and they hung up again. I am going to block this number but I think some one should look it to them.
Thank you !

i got a phone call the other day with someone claiming to be from the IRS they told me that the IRS has filed a law suit against me and that i needed to give them some bank information so they can send me the paperwork to set up payments to stop the lawsuit from going further . I have dealt with the IRS before and i knew something was wrong as I did not get any paperwork in the mail, but i am afraid some people would fall for this so i just want to throw it out there. I live in Skaneateles new york if that helps I also wrote down the phone number they used 206-855-6990 but when you call it back it is silent.
