A group of men with Indian accents called me from this number about 4-5 times.  They claim to be from the legal department of the IRS, US Treasury Department.   They tell you that a lien and arrest warrant has come down against you, and that they can help arrange a lawyer.   But....apparently your case file is missing some details so they want to know more about you.  These guys are very unprofessional, even one time asking me, "Do you want to see your [***] in jail??" and "You sound like a born criminal..."  

Scammers don't fall for ther [***]...

Indian accents, asking for Michelle, told them no Michelle here, calling from a financial institution, i hung up they kept calling back and asking why i hung up, i told them i am not Michelle nor is she here! blocked the number

i got a call from this number saying i have some civil case against me and he is from IRS. and that i should speak to their supervisor nick. since i knew there was nothing like that. i googled the number.
then i called them back and told them that we they ever call back again i will file a police fraud complaint against them. That really shut them up and they cut the call.
So do not fall for the hoax

Confirmed fraud attempt (voicemail uses copied IRS consumer help line message). This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.

As general background information, here are a few things you can do:
1) Report it to TIGTA under http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml especially if you have become a victim (lost money, gave personal information etc.). You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint (include “IRS Telephone Scam" in your complaint). This way you can also help the government establish specific fraud patterns.

2) Help kill their phone lines. The scammers use Voice over IP lines (e.g. magicJack (Ymax corporation)) to make it seem as if they are calling from the US. This is always against these companys' terms of service and can lead to immediate termination of their contract and blocking of their IP addresses for future attempts to register. Do a reverse look up of their telephone number (e.g. www.whitepages.com) to identify the Voice over IP provider and report it to the company and or law enforcement (local police and/or state attorney general)

3) If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction and provide US law enforcement agencies with the political backing and the resources they need to work in India and Pakistan together with local authorities (it can happen, read: http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ex-call-cen ... mmission-320427). A US task force has already been set up in Jamaica to nab scammers there (see http://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/library/reports/cornerstone/cornerstone7-1.pdf).
