“ This guy called and said he was with the IRS and that I owed $8000.00 from 2009-2016 taxes. He said if I didn't pay within 45 min's that I would be arrested by local Police. He went to get his boss on the line to tell me how i owed this money. That's when I hung up the phone and called my daughter to talk to her about this call. I did block this FAKE IRS SCHEME. ”

“ This guy called me saying that he was going to sue me for the IRS but I gave my fake name and ZIP Code so how did he find my case number maybe if he loses that accepts I'll believe them but until then gtfoh ”

“ 4 calls in one day. Fakes. ”

“ I screwed with them for about 15 minutes before they figured me out. Called from a landline....that was a "problem" for them. Oh well. Told them my dad is an FBI agent and I was recording the call, but they didn't care until I said I wasn't calling from a cell phone. Ha! ”

“ got call..block fake IRS..they send letters not cals ”

“ C Landry\r\nCalled number back...was told they were the IRS....I laughed and said that they weren't then they got vulgar. \r\n ”

“ The IRS.. is trying to sue me....?\r\n\r\n yeah... this is the way they'd notify you ..I'm sure (recorded )\r\n\r\nand to.. call a number...they are creative ..think we're all dummies..lol ”

“ Fake "IRS" POSER! ”

“ fake irs caller ”

“ I also received a call from that same number threatening prosecution if I ignore the message. I called that same number back today and the receiver answered with "IRS". When I asked if that was the United States Internal Revenue Service, he hanged up. I called repeatedly, but he never picked up again. ”

“ A young man with an Indian accent called from 337-564-8834, claiming to be with the IRS, and threatening arrest, jail, and fines if $14,000 not immediately paid. Gave this number (240-204-9087) as the number I should call to arrange payment. ”

“ Robo call at 8:37 a.m. today. Left message on our answering machine saying the IRS is suing us and for more info call back. Caller ID says Bethesda MD" ”

“ Same as other people...called and left a voicemail saying I was named in a lawsuit. this has to be a hoax. Deleting the message. ”

“ There wasn't a full message left but wanted me to call back this number, repeat call back this number ”

“ claims to be calling for IRS and states that it is final notice that a lawsuit is being filed against me and that I should call back ”

“ Just called left vm stating that I will be put in front of a judge so something that was not stated and told me to call back. ”

“ Just threatened prosecution if I don't pay them... funny... the IRS has a verizon wireless cell number??? Crooks and thieves!!! ”

“ They just called saying they are the IRS ”

“ I just received a call from this number saying they are the IRS and there is a warrant out for my arrest if I don't pay them what I owe in back taxes. ”

“ says they are the IRS ”

“ Also got the same call claiming that I was being criminally charged by the IRS for back taxes from 2008 - 2013. Threatened jail time of 5 years, full garnishment of wages, repossession of home and vehicles, and fines upwards of $90k. Caller stated that he had to read me a statement and that I was not permitted to interrupt, and that at the end of his reading I would be permitted to ask questions. When the question time arose, I asked for a case #, where I could go to find & download formal documentation, and also for a total of taxes that were claimed owed as he hadn't yet mentioned a number. Caller then became irate, and yelled, "Why would you want to go to jail for this? Why wouldn't you just pay? You are only listed as owing $2461.34, why wouldn't you just pay this?" When I asked again for documentation to support that amount, as well as a detailed account of any previous attempts to contact me regarding this debt, he hung up on me. Called me from a second number, as well - a 240 area code. Caller NEVER referenced my name, SSN, or any personal information; I was asked only to give my phone number for reference when I returned the message he'd left. ”

“ i have some today i contact PD thay tell me is fake IRS agent Do Not give any info or SS# \r\n ”

“ I had the same thing as Leslie happen to me just right now. Glad I know I'm not the only one and its a scam ”

“ Claims to be with treasury department. Failure to respond will result in court case ? Definitely a scam of some sort ”

“ This number has now been reported to police dept. ”

“ Received a threatening phone call from this number today. Have no idea who this is. May report to police dept. ”
