This phone number is a SCAM!!!! The person calling from this number claims to be from the IRS and they tell you that you have to send them money because you haven't paid your back taxes and if you don't send them money them the cops are going to come to your door and take you to jail. They tell you to go to Radio Shack and other places to get a Green Dot Money pack card to send the money to them. Anyone who gets a call from these people should report them immediately to the IRS. The fraud tax number is 1-800-366-4484. The IRS is aware of this fraud scam going on.

I got a message from Albert Williams from 800-829-10401 - that he is calling from Federal Crime Investigation regarding fraud and legal charges (based on Federal complaints against me). he wants me to call (202)800-9953.

I got a voice message from 800-829-1040 asking me to return their call at 202-808-3702. If I do not, the IRS will pursue legal action against me.

I also got call from same number  with same message
We should report actual legal system .

I get these calls several times a day as if someone is really desperate to talk to us. But then they tell us to call back at 8008260861. They pose it as tax fraud and a case will be filed against us, while we don't have any problems with IRS. I have been getting calls every day and sometimes 10 times in 3 hours.

IRS knows about it.

I got this number as well and the IRS doesn't phone people they would send us something.

This phone number is a SCAM!!!! The person calling from this number claims to be from the IRS.  He says his name is Daniel Obrien (with a heavy East Indian accent) and he tells me that I have a lawsuit against me and I have to call him and give him all kinds of information. I don't owe taxes nor do I have a lawsuit against me.  Also, the number he wants me to call back is somewhere in Washington State (Not Washington DC).  That number is 206-567-3255. Anyone who gets a call from these people should report them immediately to the IRS. The fraud tax number is 1-800-366-4484. The IRS is aware of this fraud scam going on.

totally a scam got a call from this number today too from some indian accent guy saying i am being charged with serious allegation, i told him to go jump off a cliff and end his worthless life

Total Scam. The phone 800-829-1040 is a legit IRS number. However, they ask u to call a different number. Do not fall for this. Even if u have an issue with the IRS, they never call. The initial contact is by mail stating the nature of the problem. U are given time to solve the problem. Also, any money due to the IRS is always paid to the "US Treasury" (this is what we write on checks if taxes are due) and never by wire or by some green dot cards. If the IRS has an issue with you, the problem usually is not solved over the phone in 15 minutes with an offer to settle. If you pay to the IRS electronically, there is a process that has to be followed and you can never set it up right away. After u apply to pay electronically, they send u a PIN in the mail. These scum bags are in some boiler room; have no clue about laws work in the US and are using words like money laundering, arrest, non-bailable warrants to scare people.  

Yes they are SCAMMERS !!!

We received a call from a phony IRS.

I also received same call

Got a call from this number but they left no message! On a saturday when the irs is not even open so not going to answer if they call again!  It is a legit number cause I did try to call back but as i said they arent open so why no message and have never recieved anything in the mail so... scarey!

They told me they have a loan up to $10K, I told them I wasn't interested.  I called the number back to ask to be off their call less and it said it was the IRS

The number 1-800-829-1040 showed up on my phone as caller but according to real IRS site
sophisticated scammers use this number to think it is real IRS. IRS will not call or email you
instead real IRS will send notice in the mail according to the  genuine IRSwebsite.
It is a SCAM. The number  of IRS is programmed in the scammer phone to appear real.

Just got the same call.  IRS phone is getting overloaded with these impersonation fraud calls.  Beware & just don't call them back.
