IRS has a warrant out for your arrest

[Perknose]

call the irs and report it. The irs can alert the cia and the fbi, and maybe even the dea and the nra, and they'll go down there pdq and kick their ass.

ASAP, IIRC.

These scum bags left a message stating: (in a robotic voice)
"We have been trying to contact you and there is a warrant out for your arrest by the IRS. Call 02-864-1221 immediately."

Caller ID shows 'New York 607-756-9642'

Now, I know this is a scam, but, it was left at a 84 year olds answering machine, who was freaking out about hearing IRS & warrant for your arrest, enough to make their blood pressure go through the roof, setting off their monitor.

I am wondering, is there anyway to shut them down quickly, before other people fall for this type of scam ?

Already contacted the AG, and filed a DNC complaint.

OP, I will be sure to enter that you've received and chosen to ignore both the messages we sent you in your file. You can expect a sheriff to be at your door within the week.

You have to do better than that.

The FTC recently shut down a similar scam:

Later in the day, 10 more started up...

This is where I think drone strikes would come in handy.

1. Locate office
2. Leave a crater

Where is the warrant for Lois Lerner's arrest?

 

[DisturbedRamm]

this is not a scam, they tried to repo my 89 Pinto (

 

[John Connor]

I've gotten these calls before and just block them on my computer that handles calls with Phone Tray. Pisses me off that these fuckers have the balls to say shit like that and the thing is they more than likely spoofed the caller ID data. I think the phone company can put a trace on this if it becomes a problem and let ol' ANI do her magic.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Are you certain the IRS isn't looking for you? I mean, have you purchased anything from an online retailer and failed to pay the tax associated with said purchases?

Yeah... I don't think the IRS is particularly concerned about sales taxes.

 

[Printer Bandit]

Fuck the IRS

Fuck I hope I don't get audited

 

[IndyColtsFan]

They called again (@ 4AM!), different message, and different #.
This time, the # is from 410-443-0883 Caller ID says "EASTON MD"
Same robotic voice, the message now says "This is the IRS we will soon be taking legal action against your name. Call 410-443-0883 IRS hotline as soon as possible"

http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-410-443-0883

Damn crooks.

For what it is worth, been reporting to http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml

I've gotten several voicemails on my cell phone from this scam. The guy speaks in heavily accented English and you can barely hear him due to noise in the background. I'm hoping to actually answer the call one day so I can have fun trolling them.

People who fall for this shit are either really dumb or senile.

your post jogged my memory. I've been getting calls on my work cell from various numbers I don't recognize.

According to posts on 800notes.com:

310-627-1520 scam number out of Northern Cal, apparently leaves message only in Spanish
616-980-4007 home security reseller
720-386-2175 $100 gift card scam

I never answer my work phone unless I know who it is, I keep it on vibrate/mute, so it doesn't wake me, and my mailbox is full so they can't leave a message.

 

[Elixer]

These idiots won't stop. Another day, another new #: 202-810-8178
Caller ID says: "VOICE NETWORK 1"

This time, it isn't a robotic voice, it is someone with an accent.

http://www.filefactory.com/stream/5yxveq37hsbh is the message they left on voice mail.

Would be nice if everyone would call them up and ask "Hi, I got your message and was wondering what is for dinner?"

Yeah, the jerks who kept calling me did so from a 202 area code and that message sounded similar to the voicemails they left me. I hope they call back so I can answer and have all sorts of fun. I think I'll tell them my name is "Barack Obama" when they ask (funny how they never mention your name when they call ) and see if they get the hint.

 

[smackababy]

Why don't you answer and tell them you received their previous message and have subsequently mailed a check to the IRS, then give them the IRS address?

Heh, not bad... but, they aren't calling my #, they are calling someone who is a senior citizen, and I told them NOT to talk to them, let voice mail handle it.

They keep on generating new phone #'s and new messages... the best I can do remotely is keep blocking the #, but, the block list is almost filled up, with only 1 entry left.

BTW, running that voice message through google voice gets this.. .it almost sounds like them!

Bye. This is they didn't have the kids from Criminal Investigation Unit. For Rs. This is the notification call to inform you. About. I'm leaving issue, which we have on your main The very second you receive this message. I need you to call us back. Our number area code (202) 810-8178. I repeat. The offline to lower division is area code (202) 810-8178 now For the next 48 hours. If you can. To respond to this call. This is meet you. To Face federal law enforcement procedures, as that you had had he's extremely time sensitive. Again. This is a genetic kids. Looking forward to talk to you does that situation, unfortunately.

Would be funny to play their own message back to them...

 

[Brian Stirling]

The problem is many of these scam artists, when they get someone that responds with money, they sell that name to other scam artists and the process begins anew. I would love to see the hacker community take up the cause and shut these f'ers down but, sadly, they're more likely to be one of the scammers than a white hat. But, just imagine if these scammers could be exposed with there true identity and address.

Why this isn't a more important issue for the DOJ is beyond me...

[mizzou]

These scams are eeeeeverywhere right now. Problem is, out of 1,000 people 1 will fall for it.

 

[Red Squirrel]

To be honest I'd probably about shit my pants if I got a call like that and lived in the US. You don't mess with the IRS, they will put you on the street (or in this case jail) and also ruin your family just because they can, if they feel like it. That said, I'd immediately google it to find out if it's some kind of scam, and feel better afterwards.

 

[JamesV]

I get all manner of these things, at least 4-6 times per day, and they always are listed on caller ID as 'City, State'.

Lately they have been calling at like 7AM and it's pissing me off.

After the hoops I had to go through last time to get on the do not call list, I just pick up the phone and hang up immediately now. I don't get why someone in law enforcement isn't doing anything about this scams; it shouldn't be my responsibility to make sure I don't get these calls.

 

[pontifex]

They mentioned this on the local news the other day.

Or, you could just ditch your land line. I did. Only people who called me on my land line when I finally got rid of it was telemarketers and my Mom. And she knew better

Ok, let's think about this logically for a moment. Would the IRS:

1. Call you on your cell phone?
2. Never mention your name when calling?
3. Tell you over the phone to send them money?
4. Be some guy who barely speaks English and is "kindly asking" you to "do the needful?"

Uh, no. Would the IRS even call you to begin with? Probably not. If you were in trouble, you'd be getting certified mail or a visit from an IRS agent.

This is why I am shocked people fall for these kinds of things. The first time I heard it, I had to replay it and even then, still couldn't understand everything the tool said. So I just laughed and hoped I would answer it the next time so I could rip him a new one.

EDIT: Here is what the IRS says, which echoes what I said above:

http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/Sca...ifies-Five-Easy-Ways-to-Spot-Suspicious-Calls

The IRS reminds people that they can know pretty easily when a supposed IRS caller is a fake. Here are five things the scammers often do but the IRS will not do. Any one of these five things is a tell-tale sign of a scam. The IRS will never:

1. Call to demand immediate payment, nor will we call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill..
2. Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe.
3. Require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card.
4. Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.
5. Threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.

If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money, here’s what you should do:

• If you know you owe taxes or think you might owe, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS workers can help you with a payment issue.
• If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to believe that you do, report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1.800.366.4484 or at www.tigta.gov.
• You can file a complaint using the FTC Complaint Assistant; choose “Other” and then “Imposter Scams.” If the complaint involves someone impersonating the IRS, include the words “IRS Telephone Scam” in the notes.

Remember, too, the IRS does not use unsolicited email, text messages or any social media to discuss your personal tax issue. For more information on reporting tax scams, go to www.irs.gov and type “scam” in the search box.
