347-389-0029

is this really an IRS phone number

Hi,
I too received a recording left on my voice mail stating that it was the IRS and they have a law suit pending against me.  To find out more about my case, they told me to contact this number directly 347-389-0029.  It took forever to get through but once I did some guy with an India accent came on the line and really sounded like a high pressured creditor.  When I told him I paid in taxes this year he told me that the records they have for years 2009, 2011, and 2012 do not match up with the tax returns I did and I can either settle the case now by paying $2000 or he'd be filing a court case against me in the morning.  When I argued with him he was rude and said they would have my wages and bank account garnished and my drivers license revoked, etc.., etc.., etc.   At that point I told him I would need to contact my tax man and attorney.  As he continued to put more pressure on me the call dropped or he hung up on me.  Nevertheless, I then contacted my attorney who ensured me it was a scam and to just ignore it.

I'm reporting that number to the IRS and FBI.  I'd suggest anyone else who received a call do the same.  That area code is out of NY and I really hope that ring of thieves are caught.

Regards,
Michelle

It's a widely perpetrated scam. Ignore it. NEVER call the number.

This person said they were the IRS and that this would be the last final call and that they would be suing.  i called the number back and no one answers, so Now I will call the IRS.

No, it's not an IRS phone number. It is a scam. Don't bother calling and don't give any info. The IRS doesn't call, they send mail.

They called and said they were from the IRS and were going to be filing a lawsuit against me! Read about the scam and didn't call the number!

Received voicemail, after reading posts on this website, will not call. Do not owe the IRS any money. In fact I get a refund from the IRS every year, including this year.

Good communication from all - Thank you.
I had a call from the same people and same number. Told me I had to pay $1K of the $5K I owed today or that they would release the warrant and I would go to jail. Said I could fight and court and go to jail or pay now. Two different guys sounding the same but definitely heavy Indian accents; one named Jason Steven, and one named Alex Hill (LOL). I told them I will call back on Friday but this time I'll have law enforcement affiliates who are friends of mine with me. Perhaps I should just ignore it but I'll make my final decision late. In the meantime, DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION OUT TO ANYONE AT ALL!!! PLEASE!!!
Its a shame but that is the world we live in now.
Stay strong..Stay blessed..

I just received a message from this number today, and googled the number and lead me to this page. Thank goodness I read the comments.
