Tax Scam

22-Jul-2015

Scam Phone Number 15095873608, Got a VM 1-509-587-3608 stating I will be arrested for fraud.

Saying i was going to be arrested for tax fraud. The warrant will be issued in next 30 minutes unless I call back. Sounded very aggressive unlike any official communication! It's another matter that the IRS will NEVER leave such messages.. they would rather send a very official letter in mail

The pre-recorded message is a scam. The message is left by automated dialers set up by scammers in India. The computers are programmed to call thousands of numbers everyday, to leave these threatening messages.

When you call back, you will encounter one of those Indian scumbags who speak poor English! Recent immigrants and seniors are their primary target.

The IRS will never call anyone “out of the blue” and ask to pay. IRS will send notices by mail. Tax payers will get enough time to respond and dispute claims.

The IRS will always send written notice through the U.S. postal system of any taxes due, and will never ask for credit, debit or prepaid card details by any form of communication

The IRS won’t threaten arrest, deportation, wage garnishment or loss of a driver’s license.

The IRS won’t ask you to share credit card information over the phone nor ask you to pay right away

If you get a call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, ask his name, a call back number (but should not call back) and employee badge number all of which he is bound to provide. (Crooks would provide fake badge numbers)

If he provides details, contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 to determine if the caller was indeed the one he claims to be and whether IRS has a legitimate need to contact you.

According to the website of the Internal Revenue Service:

Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.

Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.

Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.

Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.

Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.

After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police and the fake caller ID would support their claim.
