  • We’ve warned you about the IRS scam call. This month several of you have told us, bogus agents are still calling trying to trick people into thinking they owe taxes. One of them even reached a tax professional.

      Jenkins1155 Dear Mr. Jenkins,
      This is Agent David S. Biddle from the United States Internal Revenues Service. My badge number is NY48221. I am contacting you regarding your outstanding tax bill of $5,000 (c.f. Docket # 12B-178339284). We have no record of your lowered tax bill.
      You actually do owe us five grand. That's FIVE BIG ONES. Maybe you heard Agent Deepak Chopra's accent and assumed that a man from India couldn't work for the actual IRS.
      As of October 25th, we still have not received your payment. So you mess with us? Now we mess with YOU!!! I'm gonna drop the OBAMA on you! Dog the BOUNTY HUNTER is coming for you!
      But hey, between us, I like you. So I'll tell you what. You send me a Playstation 4 and I'll consider your back taxes paid. Deal?
      Let me know - thanks, brah!
      Dave Biddle
      Head President
      Internal Revenues Service

Because I talk to an IRS agent at least once a month and they never call me, I call them, and any time I do the person answers with their ID number." and continues going off on the guy. It was glorious.

Or, they will audit your books and your past 3 tax years (usually, unless they find something else of concern or you did not file). If you owe them enough, they will file a tax lien. If that still doesn't get your attention, an IRS revenue agent will knock on your door. Then they will come back with a warrant and local enforcement and bust down your door. Unless it is an outdoor illegal alcohol still, then they will simply destroy it.

Also, they never take you to jail unless a full criminal investigation is completed and not in your favor. (Which includes things like tax evasion, which is at least as old hat as Al Capone. ) If CI is going on, get a tax attorney and go to tax court.

    I haven't gotten a fake call from the IRS, but I have had a call from "Publisher's Clearing House" telling me I won a big sum of money, and all I had to do to get it was give them some money so they could release it to me (yeah, sure) and they would notify their van driver, who was in the next town making delivery to another winner, so he could bring me my winnings (jeez, what are the odds of that happening?).
    I made like I couldn't hear him because I was hard of hearing, so I kept asking him to repeat what he just said and to talk more slowly and more loudly so I could understand him better. It got to the point where he was shouting every thing.
    At one point he asked me where I graduated from college, and I told him "the school of hard knocks". He told me how smart I was and congratulated me on my fine choice, really trying to butter me up.
    In the meantime, I was online with the real Publisher's Clearing House to look at how they go about notifying people who are winners, and how to look out for scammers. After stringing the guy along for a half hour I read the relevant paragraph to him, and confronted him with his deception. The f-bombs starting flying then - good times.

      A citizen of country A can owe taxes to country B, if the taxable activity occurred within the jurisdiction of B.
      If A and B are on good terms with each other, B can use A's legal system to collect those taxes.
      Thanks to identity theft, it's possible for B to have good reason (possibly good enough to hold up in court) to falsely believe that you do owe them taxes.
      Therefore, don't automatically reject a tax claim just because it's from another country.
      Do reject something that claims to be from the IRS if it didn't come by mail, or if they ask you to use a means of payment that is hard to trace, or if they tell you that you must pay immediately right after the first notification you receive about the matter. Also, they must provide an explanation why you owe the money. If they don't provide one, or if it doesn't make sense, be suspicious and get the services of a tax professional.

They claimed that the police will be at my house to pick me up and take me to jail. I told them I'll be right here waiting, because I know you are trying to scam me. They just insisted I'm going to jail if I don't pay this outstanding bill I have never owed. So I waited. No one came after me. Each time they call, I let it go to voice mail, to keep track so I can give it to the authoritys. P.s. don't ever answer a number you don't know, they tap into your phone and screw it up. So bad you have to buy another one.

    The IRS will certainly call you if you owe taxes and have ignored all mailings. An IRS officer will also make an unannounced visit to your home or place of business. The IRS will also file a lawsuit against you if you have, for example fraudulently transferred your your assets to avoid the IRS tax lien.

  • @KarlHao
    @KarlHao 6 лет назад

    The IRS does make cold calls. However, no agent or officer of the IRS will threaten you by "sending your case to the courthouse." If you want to verify that an IRS agent is real, ask for their name and Employee ID # and then call your local police department. The IRS has a verification phone line that all police may use to verify the identity of IRS employees. You may also ask the person who called you to set up an in person meeting at the nearest IRS office to your location. These verification tactics should be enough to scare away any scam artists. Also remember that IRS does NOT SEND EMAIL. Any email you received claiming to be from the IRS is a scam.

    *One Left A Message Saying I Was About To Be Arrested, Unless I Contacted Them Immediately... When I Called The Number, They Asked For My Name, And Then Asked For My Social Security Number... Which I Did NOT Provide.

    Companies such as Google, Walmart and Steam need to be more accountable because these are the victims are being asked to pay by using Google play, Walmart gift and Steam cards etc. There needs to be signs up at the stores that sell these cards that say "The IRS will never ask you to pay by gift card". These companies are profiting huge amounts (hundreds of millions of dollars) from the scamming from Indian call centres, so they have no incentive to stop these crimes.

Mind you I had just recently lost my husband in a horrific accident so I wasn’t totally thinking clear! My oldest called the IRS directly and found out it was a scam! Durning the 3 hours of dealing with this he had me convinced I was going to jail 45 min after we hung up if I didn’t pay right then! I’ve paid a known company to do my taxes for the past 20 years and I new I didn’t but I wasn’t thinking clearly! They play on your fears and it’s sick! They called back over 20 times in one day to scare me! They had my info to! Including my DOB SS# address and #! I threw up for about 24 hours and was pale and crying! This really isn’t funny! It’s really sad. I wish they could be stopped! Now I don’t answer my phone if I don’t know the # ! God bless my son for helping me and saving me from taking out a loan to pay a scammer!

    People, if you get this call and think its real, first of all, ITS NOT , the IRS will NEVER contact you via telephone, second, if you're still not convinced, go to your local IRS office (most cities have one) and ask them directly. They can go through your records from the very first time you filed and will tell you of any discrepancies
