To report the scammers, a real IRS agent suggested going to: www.treasury.gov/pigta
Very negative call! I typically am strong, but was initially taken in by these scammer. The scammer was brutal, said he was an IRS officer, that if I didn't pay them $x NOW, that they would arrest me, empty out my bank account, etc. When I asked if I had the right to talk to an attorney a few minutes into the conversation, he said NO. That's when I began to realize it was a scam, that the phone number was not an IRS one. Have since spoken to the real IRS, who said that these scammers are brutal, that some people are crying when they call them, that some people actually gave out critical info to the scammers. If you did, call the IRS about what to do.
