NFT: Being sued by the IRS

ctc in ftmyers : 4/24/2015 1:55 pm
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?
I had the same problem. I ended up finding this great

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.

Just send me the money you owe...

First thing I would suggest  
geelabee : 4/24/2015 2:43 pm : link
Engage a professional tax attorney ASAP...I believe if you have counsel they will not be able to contact you dorectly...and secondly, they have to give the attorney some time to get up to speed and provide proof that you owe what they are alleging..worst case scenario if you do owe money...it will buy time to come up with a payment plan

Nice work Sherlock!
They tried this scam with my girl...  
bradshaw44 : 4/24/2015 2:54 pm : link
I had her give me the number. I called from a blocked line and they didn't answer. I called back from an outside line and a guy with a heavy African accent and broken English answered. I said why are you calling me? He said "I am IRS, what's your information". I said who the fuck talks like that? His next line was classic: "If you no believe I IRS then hang up." I laid into his dumb ass and hung up. I then sent the number to local authorities.

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.

If they want you to go get a Green Dot card to pay them, that's proof!  
TheManUpstairs : 4/24/2015 3:17 pm : link
Because (dripping with sarcasm) the IRS always wants people to pay with something basically untraceable, one inch removed from cash.

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.

I LOVE getting these calls...."Oooh the IRS, huh?"...."Listen.....after I'm done with your wife....."

You could go a ton of different directions with it

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."

from these fraudsters. Thankfully she also had some sense of suspicion and informed me before returning their call.

We laugh but unfortunately the most vulnerable can and will fall prey to these predators.
So now we outsourced the IRS to save money

around. Went to the local watering hole and it seems more than half has received the call.

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.

IRS then the agent you speak with will have an ID # and tell it to you instantly. Also they will work with you first. I highly doubt they sue as that brings lawyer fees. Total bs.

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