Please be aware of scammers impersonating the IRS and threatening people with arrest warrants. They are claiming that you have not filed your taxes properly and as a result the IRS has issued an arrest warrant a***nst you. They then proceed to ask for PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and ask that you be as honest with them as possible. THIS IS A SCAM!!! DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIR***STANCES, provide them with any information. The IRS will NEVER call you and threaten you. If there is a legitimate reason for the IRS to contact you, they will usually always do so via mail. Here are the actions I've taken a***nst the caller this morning. If you run into a similar situation, you too should follow these steps: 1. Contact your local police department (non-emergency) 2. Contact the IRS hotline and file a complaint: 1-800-366-4484 3. Contact your local FBI office. The FBI is already aware and may direct you to call the FTC. 4. Contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and file a complaint: 202-326-2222. Once you've filed a complaint, keep the reference number handy in case you receive more calls and need to call the FTC back 5. Contact your Attorney General's office (not necessary in VA) 6. Block the number you received the call from Here's a link to the IRS’s website on this scam: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Reiterates-Warning-of-Pervasive-Telephone-Scam

I got a phone call today from a very RUDE guy named "Jason McCarthur" from the "IRS" stating that I had an issue with my 2011/2012 taxes and that the police had already been contacted. I asked them if this was true, how come I hadn't received any letters from the IRS. He said they had sent plenty of letters and that it was all do***ented at the post office. I called him out for being extremely rude and unprofessional, and told him that if he was indeed legitimate to feel free to send me a CERTIFIED letter, and then ***g up on him. What a ****. What really bothers me is that he knew my full name and phone number. Lord knows how many people he's scammed.

received 5 phone calls saying from IRS officer Matthews, he has heavy indian accent.

Received two calls back to back today. Heavy Indian accent saying his name is Officer Robert Turner with the IRS.

Heavy accent man officer James turner. Asked him who the president was and was unable to answer. Spam

They are criminals. I reported them to the police. Do not give them any information. They already had my name, cellphone number and home address. Do not call them back.

They are similar to the other call received.... The accent is heavy. He said my ID is revelved.. The case is file a***nst me

I received a call from 202-241-9018 Ext 8005. He had heavy accent. Beware do not give any personal information. his name was chris decosta.

They stated that they are from the IRS re*****sment department. The one who left a message stated his name was Alan Smith. The person who picked up the call stated that his name was Chris Decosta. When I s****ed asking questions he ***g up.

I had calls from this number but never answered it and they didn't leave a message. Why not ask what address they have in order to send the "cops" over to arrest me? When they reply I have to verify my address with them tell them that it's their problem now!

My wife got a call from "Officer Jason McDonald" and his "boss" Adam Gatson (he kept saying Adam, then when I asked for last name, Gatson came up) from "IRS re***sment division". They had an accent that was not American - sounded more British colonial accent. We had issues with 2011 and 2012 taxes (numerical errors is what he said) and she could get arrested. Unless... we pay up immediately. I did panic initially (they got us when we preparing to go to work), but soon I realized that it must be a scam. I played along, but bought time. Then called my accountant and attorney to confirm it was a scam. IRS mentions about and the web is full of posts about such scam. She got calls from the same # for another 10 times. I tried to call back (I used *67 to block my # - don't want to give out any more info to them). It invariably goes into a voice mail saying "Internal Revenue Service". We even called the local police to ensure this was a scam. The cop told us some people lost 1000s of dollars. Apparently, the guy(s) asks you to go to a store and get them Greendot or paypal prepaid cards and transfer to them. Similar e-mail phishing scams also exist. It's a big scheme. So, beware.

didnt ask his name, dont need to, someone from this number calls our home daily. this time he called 4x in a row, i asked him to just dispatch the cops to my home instead of calling. he called me a ***** and said ***k you. lovely, makes me want to fly out there and ****** someone

Said they were going to arrest me and that they were from the IRS. SCAMMERS!!!

Spam call to us saying IRS has an open case on us.

I just received a call from Officer Griffen Thomas from the IRS telling me there was a federal warrant out for my arrest and if I didn't take care of this today they were going to send officers to my house and arrest me. He then sent me to "accounting" and I was told I had to go to a store and buy a coupon for $482.00. I called my accountant and while I was speaking with him they tried to call four times. I then called the police department. They both had accents. I knew it was a scam. Creeps, I hope they get caught.

I got a cal this morning from someone claiming to be Officer Matthew Smith from the IRS - "Washington, District of Columbia" and there is pending case a***nst me needin urgent attention. Told him to send letter and ***g up. He called back a***n and said he put a warranty out for my arrest. I ***g up a***n. The 3rd time he called, I snapped at him and he mentioned cops will be picking me to jail. Told him I am waiting and ***g up. Haven't heard a***n from him. Like others mentioned, He had a really stong accent.

Received a call from Officer George King saying he was with the IRS and there was a legal affidavit filed in my name. He claimed if I did not return his call he would have to take legal action. He had a strong accent and used phrases such as "like, please call me asap."
