I recd a vm today, 7/22/15 at 3:34pm, caller claimed to be from the IRS
total scam...the IRS will NEVER call you and threaten you....don't fall victim to such nonsense~
Same situation as above. Had me thinking I had actually done something wrong...IDIOTS!!
I have received at least 10 of these calls form different voices , different numbers, and different names. I have complained and since I have complained it has gotten worse not sure any one will do anything about this, all I know is I owe the IRS nothing. We can use technology to trace many things but apparently not against people are committing fraud. May be some day. They have a number or numbers and it should not be that hard to find where they are coming from.
This number was recently used to contact me in an IRS tax scam. I was initially contacted by this number, but they called me back from 905-796-6408. They claimed to be IRS officers and that they would issue tax evasion charges against me immediately if I didn't pay them $5900 in back taxes. It was elaborate (they had phony names, IRS badge numbers, a phony case number) and they demanded that I stay on the phone with them the entire time. If I hung up on them, they would proceed with filing charges against me. They told me to go to my bank and take out $800. Then they told me to get a 'reloaded' debit card from a store to put the money on. When I couldn't find one of those cards, they said that I could wire the money to a Reza Fassihi in Anaheim, CA. This was the final red flag for me and I hung up on them and reported them to the Department of Treasury. If you get a call from them, this is a very well known IRS phone scam. It's why they claim that you have to act immediately and can't hang up on them; it's to stop you from googling and finding out about it. Don't fall for them.
