Got a call from 1-279-319-0000 and let it go to the answering machine.
Basically says, This is the IRS and we have been trying reach you. This is your last notice before we initiate a lawsuit. Call this number to settle this matter now.
Naturally I know for a fact that this is the way the IRS operates.
How much do you think this will cost me?
Any BBI lawyers want to defend me?
And get this: he's also a Nigerian prince!
I'll send you his contact info.
IT'S A SCAM.

This is a very dangerous myth being spread via facebook.
The IRS isn't going to give a shit that you didn't think it was real. Call them back and send them the money you owe or you're gonna end up losing all of your assets. The IRS doesn't mess around.
If you can't tell by the way the OP is written and the responses, I just don't know what to say.
Yes I got the phone call about 1:20.
Your invoice is in the mail, but you may pre-empt with payment of $10,000. You're welcome!
that is some slick malice.
the people who came up with that definitely should be working for our government if they're not already.
LOL
Why haven't you checked the children?
The Internet is a crowd sourcing platform....if the IRS was calling from that #...there would be comments from folks who received calls from that #...there's nothing...it's fake!!!

Nice work Sherlock!
If you want to go through the trouble of calling them back, just mention at the start that you are taping the call, they'll hang up instantly.

Nice line - I was thinking it - you said it. Gullibility of some people is frightening.
My wife is an IRS employee (for what it's worth, she's pretty much on the taxpayer's SIDE on most of what she does). But this stuff drives her crazy. People DO this. Some guy calls up and says, "Unless you pay me today, the police come and drag you away," and they run to the freaking Rite Aid, and buy three Green Dots for $500 each, and they pay. And then it's too late to get th emoney back.
hahaha awesome!

I LOVE getting these calls...."Oooh the IRS, huh?"...."Listen.....after I'm done with your wife....."
"My wife is in the basement, I have her tied up......would you like to talk to her?"
You could go a ton of different directions with it
"here's my code, ya ready? G....O..........F....U...C...K...........Y...O....U....R....S....E....L....F....OK read it back to me...."

I had a friend who got one of these calls. This is one that was so bad that they led off with: "This is the IRS. Who am I speaking to?"
He replied: "Fred Flintstone"
The response: "Please hold Mr. Flintstone while I pull up your file."
We laugh but unfortunately the most vulnerable can and will fall prey to these predators.
Unbelievable that some fall for this.
As far as from inside the house, it's probably the barn. I swear one of my horses is just like mister Ed. Have to cut off his phone.
Marty, Are you kidding me?
I'm giving them all my bank acct #'s and having my pension and SS. payments forwarded to them.
You don't screw with the IRS!!!

That's because you probably got called from the Philadelphia office. The Ft. Myers office is a bunch of dicks.
