804-496-1049

Same thing for me just now. When i heard my caller id say "Virginia" i ran to the phone so i could actually prank these scammers myself since i have received numerous messages over the last 2 weeks. Alas, even when i answered,  it was still just a message machine. I immediately called the number back more than 5 times, but just dead, then a busy tone. Seriously,  people?  I obviously would have just harrassed them, but if they want the naive to actually give them money, they need a working telephone number!!!!!!

I kept calling him and played along for a while. I also recorded the whole thing.

He alleged that I was going to be arrested within the hour if I didn't wire $3,981. He instructed me that I was to go withdraw the money and not tell anybody about the call etc.

He alleged tax fraud, violation of the tax code/regs, theft by deception, and willful misrepresentation.

For some reason (thanks internet), he did have my contact info sort of correct--even though I provided him with a false phone number. So they're obtaining legit contact info in some way.

Anyway, reported it to the IRS.

Called me this morning. This scum bag is a total piece of trash. LIAR!

Yup, got the same call this morning.  I talked to him politely and asked him a few questions.  When I asked him to give me one piece of personal information about me to verify that he is with the IRS, he said 'f*ck you' and hung up on me.

After calling him back about 10x, he either blocked my number or got rid of that line altogether. An automated voice now comes on the line and says that the number is no longer available.

I kind of miss him...it was nice to spend the afternoon chatting with him about my impending arrest.

Hopefully he isn't reincarnated as something too far down the food chain. #Punarjanma

This is the second time in the past 2 months I've received calls from these jerk bags. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFO!

IRS phone scam: I got the call and called them back. When i asked for a supervisor i got another indian accent dude that got frustrated and told me to go "f" myself

Called the number to see what they wanted.  Can't believe Officer James called me a MOFO!  Can you believe it? Then hang up...sucky customer service.  Will never call them again.

Please do not ever give info.I talked to irs today they do not make threatening calls like telling you are getting arrested! The elderly are vulnerable and hope fully they will not submit any info to anyone.please call irs first. These scum of the earth are not real. Please  call irs if you are unsure, this is a big scam and problem out there now. I would like to,know how they got my cell number to call. Wait till I get a hold on these scum of the earth bags I will tell them where to go to hell in a hand bag. Laugh it  up now.u ain't getting nothing from me with your idle threats. Called irs and local authorities about this .theynare waiting for,me to get your scum numbers.myhone is tapped.scum bag officer.

Received the same call just now.  Reporting it to the IRS.  Don't give them any info.  I hope they get caught and sent to non-white-collar prison.

Full story: Received a phone call from man claiming to be Agent James Anderson from the IRS (badge ID: CD164480). He had a very thick Indian accent. He called from the phone number 804-496-1049.  He threatened to file a lawsuit on behalf of the IRS for my tax evasion.  Said he tried to deliever court papers to a residence I haven't lived in for over 3 years.  The IRS has my updated address and has sent my W-2s to my corrent home for years. He threatened to put a lein on all my assets, notify my employer, freeze my bank account if I did not pay $72,000 for a $4,168 miscalulation on my taxes filed in 2008.  When I asked what county I'm being sued in, he could not give a direct answer and only responded with California.  When I pressed him for more information to confirm my identity, he could only mumble inaudible garbage.  When I said I'll follow up with my local IRS agent he hung up.

Looks like this clown is using a new number 703 574-7231. Maybe the IRS should visit him?

I got this call on my voicemail twice in two days. Same exact message as others reported here on this blog. It must be a recording sounded exactly the same. Very intimidating tho. Hope this guy is caught!! Sounds Indian.
