WARNING: IRS Phone Scam....
DO NOT answer your phone if the number dialing in is 202-609-7070

The IRS:

Never asks for credit card, debit card or prepaid card information over the telephone.

Never insists that taxpayers use a specific payment method to pay tax obligations

Never requests immediate payment over the telephone and will not take enforcement action immediately following a phone conversation. Taxpayers usually receive prior notification of IRS enforcement action involving IRS tax liens or levies.


If you get a call that you believe to be a part of this scam, the IRS urges you call 1-800-366-4484 to report the incident.

The IRS says they have received 90,000 complaints to date about the scam, and about 1,000 people have lost an estimated $5 million from the fraud.

Re: WARNING: IRS Phone Scam....
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

If you've been targeted by this scam, also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their "FTC Complaint Assistant" at FTC.gov. Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.

 Quoting: ~kpm~

So an average of $5000 each? Does that seem high, or are they snagging people who actually owe a lot more and think they are "settling" with the IRS?

I have a friend who just mentioned that IRS told her she owed $3500.00, she claims she fought the charges and it was reduced to $500.00...

The kicker is she says she knows she did not owe but was fearful from what they said to her....

I'm going to call her today to see if this may have happened to her.

Re: WARNING: IRS Phone Scam....
this is very likely the call I got about a month and a half ago.

It was that area code, said I would have to take action before hanging up because action had already been started against me.

I hung up and did not hear what agency it was.

creepy call.

Re: WARNING: IRS Phone Scam....
Yeah I've gotten several of those calls. They threaten that you will be arrested immediately if you don't pay. I will have to report them next time.

The IRS doesn't just call out of the blue and demand money. It's all done by registered mail so they have a record that you actually received their shit.
