IRS scam that I just reported to FTC.gov - pre-recorded Julie Smith basically threatened if we didn't return call to her IRS office phone # 415-251-8890.

The caller ID showed Private Name & Private Number, of course.

Do Not Call Registry is no different than anything else - the crooks don't pay attention to any rules or laws.

I hate to say this is a 'prank call' - stealing someone's private information is not a prank - it's a scam & attempted theft.

I got two calls early in the morning and they left a message claiming to be the IRS and to call back immediately.  When I called back I was told by "Officer John Smith" that this was, indeed, the IRS, as in the government's Internal Revenue Service, and asked if I had a case number, which they did not leave in the message.  So he then asked for my cell phone number.  I told him the information should be in his system under the number I was calling from and that I did not need to give him my phone number. After a few seconds he hung up on me.  I called back and had a long conversation with him (at this poing I was testing to see how far he would go) where he claimed I owed $7,992.82 in taxes and that an officer was going to come to my door and arrest me in 2 hours and I was going to jail.  I was cracking up.  This was a fellow with a heavy Indian accent.  I offered to pay right away and if he could take my payment over the phone, to which he gave me another number, 415-251-9049, and said to talk to Kenneth Webster and maybe he could help me avoid getting arrested (which he said the officer was on his way before).
This is a lame scam and I really hope people don't fall for it.

Received 3 robo calls claiming to be the IRS.  SCAM

Same as you.  His name was Mark Brown.  Once I discovered it was a scam, I really want to call them back and ask why they didn't come arrest me, but my husband said don't waste my time.

I got a call from number 1 415 251 8890 saying IRS as well saying they were going to take immediate action.
