Transcript of Ten "IRS scam" voicemails submitted by users. Did you get one too?

Article by SCF. Filed Under: Threatening Call or Mail

 

Scammers posing as  IRS agents leave voice-mail messages saying the Internal Revenue Service needs to talk with the taxpayer. When  victims call back, they are threatened with legal action, arrest and suspension of drivers' licence.


On 15th Sept 2015, an Indian woman and her boyfriend were arrested by Leonia PD for making scam phone calls posing as IRS agents and stealing ~$150,000 from innocent tax payers. They frightened people into thinking that the IRS will be coming to arrest them unless they pay the demanded money. The victims were asked to send money through Moneygrm and the scammers would collect the payment from a CVS or a Walmart store. They were nabbed by the police with the support of Moneygram, while they were collecting payments from a CVS store


Here is a selection of  messages reported by users.

The people claiming to be IRS officials are scammers. The IRS never conducts its collection practices via voicemails! The IRS will never call anyone “out of the blue” and ask to pay. IRS will send notices through regular mail. Tax payers will get enough time to respond and dispute claims.

So, the next time you find a voicemail claiming it's the IRS, relax! And do report the incident at www.scamcallfighters.com. Let others know!
