Called aaying they were from the IRS, and they needed my lawyer's information to send him the paperwork.When I told him my mother w a s a lawyer they hung up on me. Dumb [***] from india. I'm sending the en IRS after them!

Just received call (left for answering machine). Same as mentioned by Daniel D. Heavy eastern accent saying from the US Treasury. To prevent law enforcement action, he should be contacted. Other than the phone number and what I added here, could not understand the rest. So sick of this underhanded crap!

Just got a call from someone with a very heavy accent saying there was legal action against me and i should contact them. I hung up on them and now they keep calling back. This spells scam all over the place.

Got call claiming to be from the Legal Affairs of the Treasury Department claiming a warrant had been issued for me and asked for my attorney's contact info (heavy Indian accent).

Later said warrant was on hold. I said I hadn't received a notice and he gave me the number of Steve Williams (213-283-6752 - same number as he called from) and stated that Steve Williams worked for the IRS and would send my notification letter. I said I'd give Steve a call. Didn't give him any other info.

Did Google search and found this feedback board. - Sure glad I did.

I called back same number, a person with an Indian accent answered. I asked to speak with the person I had just spoken to. He asked my name, then within 3 seconds said that I had a warrant issued in my name and that I was in serious trouble. He couldn't have looked up my info that quickly.

I stated that I'd researched the phone number and found it to be a scam and if he called me back that there would be serious ramifications. He confirmed that if HE called ME back there would be issues, and I said yes. He then raised his voice and said "I don't think so!" ... then hung up. :)

Hopefully no more calls.

Don't even think these guys are legit. I'm so happy that I read responses from others here because I did think that I was in trouble for something - although I hadn't done anything wrong (filed my taxes late this year, but that isn't a crime).

I'm not sure how to turn someone in for this type of fraudulent activity. The guy told me the other guy I was supposed to call worked for the IRS (at his same phone number. Blatant lie. Hope they get in trouble.
