Scammer claiming to be an IRS agent threatened arrest of my elderly mother. Same 804 phone # reported above. The elderly are being targeted more than ever.

By the way, these scammers are generally outside of the US and using PCs to make their calls using a service like SpoofCard (google it). They buy phone #s like the 804 # and it rings their PC wherever they are, similar to Skype.

The good news is that we (law enforcement) are close to being able to nab these guys. Interpol has a fantastic team of cybercrime network engineers and have just recently obtained the international cooperation needed to track calls directly to an IP address and grabbing the MAC as well (spoofing their address is no longer going to work for them). These scammers will get caught.

I just received the call. Same format: tax fraud, going to jail, 2 options get criminal attorney and file case against IRS or pay amount due ($7,865.35) at local tax office. He did not get to the option that I could pay him over the phone probably because I was too busy critiquing him on his unprofessionalism of being "overly excited and emotionally emphatic" that I needed to act now considering that I was the one who was about to go to jail. I was sincerely concerned and could not for the life of me understand why he could not send me an email, fax, or online account where I could read the IRS dispute/claim filed against me. Instead of being helpful, he kept repeating that they had tried to contact 2 times prior by mail and that I will be served papers with all of this information in 2hrs and that I should remain at home...even though I repeated twice that he had contacted me on my cellphone so I was not at home. Eventually, I told him I needed to end our call so that I could call my tax accountant who would be more helpful in directing to me where I could find the relevant filing.

Although the scammer did not know my current home address (we moved 3 months ago) or my SSN, he knew my previous address, that I filed my taxes jointly with husband (who he named) and that I used a CPA to do our taxes. Are filed taxes publicly available? How else could he have this level of information? Also, why did he assume that I am in a position to pay $7865.35 immediately to anyone including the IRS? Do they have any bank information on assets? I noticed that a previous post mentioned that the individual was associated with OCWEN Loan Servicing. We also have a mortgage with this lender.

POLITELY, BE CAREFUL ABOUT GETTING ANY E-M ABOUT THIS. I'M AN ACCOUNTANT. I ALSO COMPLAINED TO THE FBI. THESE INDIA TYPES ARE TRULY BIG TIME FRAUDS WITH THE BEST OF EVASION/ DECEPTIVE TECHNIQUES. I'M NOT A PARANOIC, BUT IMEAN THAT THESE FRAUDS CAN TECHNICALLY DISGUISE THIER CALL/ E-MAILS TO LOOK LIKE SOMEONE ELSE FROM SOMEWHERE. ELSE. OCWEN FRAUD LOAN SERVICING CO. IS ALSO A LLC. COMPANY... WHICH USUALLY MEANS THEY CAN BE BUSTED/ SHUT DOWN @ ONE LOCATION AND PICK RIGHT UP AGAIN AT ANOTHER LOCATION WOTHOUT MISSING A STEP. I'VE BEEN THREATENED BY IMPERSONATORS 3 TIMES NOW TO EVICT AND ARREST MY R.N. WIFE AND I, INCLUDING GOING TO HER HOSPITAL AND ARRESTING HER . LOOK UP THE 1,300 COMPLAINTS AGAINST OCWEN LOAN SERVICING -----A DEBT. COLLESTOR IF U WANT CONFIRMATION. ENTER COMPLAINTS OCWEN. AFTER THAT CO TO CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY AND SEE THE DOZENS OF ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS, INCLUDING MINE. MAKE THE REST OF UR COMPLAINTS STRAIGHT TO THE I.R.S., DEPT. OF THE TREASURY, AND UR STATE ATTY. GENERAL, & THE FLORIDA BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THIS IS THE STUFF I READ ABOUT IN MY BUSINESS CLASSES, & NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME. APARRENTLY BUDGETS HAVE BEEN CUT SO MUCH THAT GOVT. CAN ONLY FOCUS ON TERRORISTS. I EVEN TOLD THE F.B.I. AGENT WHO SAID IT WASN'T HIS DEPT''S PROBLEM THAT IF IT WERE HIS HOME, IT MIGHT BE A BIG DEAL..
THESE CLOWNS HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GIVE BADGE # , NOR NAME. COPY, RECORD THIER CALLS, & SEND STRAIGHT TO YOUR COUNTY DISTRICT ATTY, & YOUR STATE ATTY GENERAL. I'M VERY SERIOUS. THIS OCWEN GROUP BUYS MORTGAGES, LOANS, ETC. FROM LEGIT FINANCIAL COMPANIES AND IMMEDIATELY BEGINS APPLY ING THE MOST SCREWED UP BOOKEEPING PRINCIPLES. IN MY CASE IT WAS APPLYING AN ADDNL. $75/ MO. PRINCIPAL TO A "SUSPENSE COLUMN, AND APPLYING ONLY $10.00 TO PRINCIPAL. THEN APPLYING LATE FEES TO OUR PAYMENTS BECAUSE WE PAID TWICE PER MONTH. OCWEN'S INDIA ACCOUNTANTS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH A 2X MONTH PAYMENT, SO THEY APPLIED LATE FEES TO THE 2ND. PAYMENT AFTER THE FIRST OF THE MONTH. THEY ALSO MANAGED TO DROP OUR CREDIT RATING BY SEVERAL POINTS, DUE TO LATE PAYMENTS. REALLY, COMPLAIN TO DEPT. OF TREASURY, CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY, F.B.I, STATE ATTY GENERAL, & BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.....I MEAN IT!!!!

They have called me twice. And many of my co-workers. The second time they threatened my arrest. An Indian gentleman (and I use that term loosely) Claimed to be a detective James Anderson. He left the # 804-316-9741. He threatened my arrest.

Have had several calls from this number recently; every time threatening arrest due to tax evasion. Same story as most of you. I called him back after the message today - blocked my number so he wouldn't see who was calling - and told him what a douche bag he was and that he should learn to speak better English if he was going to try and scam hard working folk out of money. As I continued to let him know how I felt about him, he hung up. I called back and he hung up on me immediately....twice. Scumbag for sure. There was plenty of background noise, obviously other "agents" trying to scam people.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN FOR THE THIRD DAY IN A ROW. A HEAVILY INDIA ACCENTED MAN CALLED WITH ANOTHER THREAT. HE IS FROM OCWEN LOAN SERVICING ( A DEBT COLLECTOR WHO BOUGHT OUR MTGE. FROM ANOTHER COMPANY) HE CLIAMED TO BE IN THE OFFICE OF MARTHA SMITH, IRS TAX FRAUD DIVISION . HE SAID HE WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR THE FEDERAL COURTHOUSE AND DELIVER PAPERS TO HAVE ME ARRESTED. AGAIN HE FAILED TO GIVE HIS NAME/BADGE #. I RECORDED IT ON OUR ANSWERING MACHINE BUT DID NOT PICK UP. THESE THREATS MUST BE FELONIES, EVEN THREATENING TO ARREST MY WIFE AT HER JOB. THIS GUY IS GETTING TO BE LIKE A NEST OF FLEAS, AND I NEED HELP IN STOPPING/PUNISHING HIM. OCWEN DEBT COLLECTION HAS 1, 300 COMPLAINTS @ THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY. I SUPPOSE THEY HAVE NO ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY EITHER. WHO CAN STOP THIS ?!?!?

A man with avery heavy Indian accent called @0750 Tues. am on 27 Jan, 2015. He is with Ocwen debt collectors. he neglected to state his name and badge number,but claimed he was from the tax fraud division of the IRS. He also stated that I would be evicted and arrested, We still have recording. We are far ahead on our mtge. payments, with addnl. principal ea. month. Ocwen gave us a similar call the day prior as well. This one was threatening to go wife's employer and arrest her there. There seem to be many calls like this on your site. Who enforces this and how do i reach them? I've called FBI, Dept. of treasury, Consumer protection agency, You, and next is the IRS...If i ever get through. I also am a tax preparer and thought this was illegal at the least , & probably a felony to impersonate a govt. official and threaten/scare people. please help stop/punish this. I also have a chronological file of Ocwen's dealings. HELP!!

Caller: no name, claimed he was from the office of Martha Smith, tax fraud, IRS. no badge #

Received voicemail to call back- message was cut off so I only heard the phone number, not the reason for calling. Called back- a man with a heavy Indian accent stated that I have a lawsuit pending against my name for tax violation and willfully defrauding the IRS. He gave his badge ID number and the case number. Stated that federal agents could be at my door within 2 hours to arrest me and that my bank accounts would be frozen in 15-20 minutes time. Stated documents regarding incident were mailed to me but were reflected back to IRS because there was no one available to sign for them. Resolution was to pay outstanding taxes at an IRS office, but he later added that I would have to get a form of a bond as payment to bring to the office. Finally hung up on him and he immediately called back with phone number (804)316-9714. Blocked both numbers.

I received a message on my machine this morning while I was at work. An Indian accented man claimed to be calling from "The IRS Center" and I was in danger of being audited. He claimed that I needed to call him ASAP or I would "be arrested for tax fraud." He claimed it was "urgent" for me to call.

IRS.gov is pretty clear on this being a scam for multiple reasons. Just Google "IRS phone scam."

I AM BEYOND ASTONISHED THAT WITH 1,300 COMPLAINTS AGAINST OCWEN LOAN SERVICING, LLC...A DEBT COLLECTOR WHO BUYS MTGES. FROM LEGIT LENDERS, ESP. IF U R JUST ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF AN ARM LOAN , AND MUST FIND A FIXED LOAN, SCREWS UP ENOUGH FINAL PROCEEDINGS & FORCES U TO GO BEYOND UR DEADLINE TO CONVERT. IT CAN DOUBLE/TRIPLE % RATE ON YOUR MTGE.

Guy with strong Indian accent left a message threatening my arrest if I didn't call back immediately to arrange payment of taxes (caller ID says 210-526-6628). I tried to call back on both numbers to invite him over for my "arrest party" but the chicken %#+^ little scam artists won't answer the phone! Damn it!

I received a call from a person with heavy Indian accent. He claimed to be IRS agent and threaten to arrest me on tax evasion. Hey, I'm a CPA and know the tax law. IRS will only start with sending you notices before taking any actions. Also, they have to state their agent number and case number on all communication. This is a scam.
