What type of scam is this ???

I just got the same thing. I am currently on hold with the 1800 number irs

I received a message on my answering machine 9/15/2014, from a man claiming to from the IRS.  I couldn't understand the name of the caller, claimed I had some kind of notice against me and I needed to call before the matter went to the court. Left this phone number asking for a call back.  

I checked this out and it appears to be a SCAM!!!   Per the IRS website, "The IRS will always send taxpayers a written notification of any tax due via the U.S. mail. The IRS never asks for credit card, debit card or prepaid card information over the telephone. For more information or to report a scam, go to www.irs.gov and type "scam" in the search box."

If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue, if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
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.

I just got a similar call. Very disturbing. I got cut off the moment I said I was going to contact the 800 # and I did. The website to report thi scam is www.tigta.gov.

THIS IS A SCAM!!! Do not call them back as they will continue to harass you. Do not answer the phone. They will be calling from 206 801 6130. They can not speak English correctly.

Just got this one. The message start "Hello, this is Ron Skeever"…"from the Legal Department of the Internal Revenue Service"…. It goes on to state that there's been a tax fraud against me and that I should call 206-801-6130 before legal action is taken against me or I''m arrested. Yikes!

The recorded message doesn't even identify me by name.

Thanks, for the links to fraud reporting agencies, previous posters! I'll contact them shortly.

I received a similar phone call from a man named John  Wilson. He said he was th IRS,and said that I owed back taxes. He sounded so convincing I have never been under so much pressure hearing him telling me I will go the jail if I don't pay.

I JUST WANT TO CALL BACK AND GET A PERSON AND SCREW WITH THEM.  THAT WOULD BE A HELL OF A LOT OF FUN....OKAY THEN I WILL REPORT THEM, BUT I AM A SOB AND THEY MIGHT NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER ME!
