Have you received one of the IRS scam calls?

Hi Element 99,
No I have not...but glad to know this is happening, to be aware.

ive gotten them, i just ignore them and tell them i dont want to talk

Yes, last year.  It was left on my answering machine.  At first it caught me off guard and I was concerned.  Then it quickly occurred to me the IRS would not call and leave a threatening message on an answering machine.  I mention this to someone at work and it was suggested to report it to the police to be investigated as fraud. 

No, I have received several.

I received a couple a couple of months ago but just hung up and blocked the number.

YES!
He said that if I didn't sent him the money, the police was coming to the house and serve me some kind of papers.. . It was some guy with an Indian accent. . I acted real concerned and asked for his supervisor. . .. when the supervisor came, . . It was the same guy!!!!.. . I said, dude you're the same guy!! . . .He said, No Im not!!. . . It's funny, but I admit that for the first minute of so he was very convincing...

Yes.  I've received two different messages left on my answering machine over the course of a couple of weeks last year.  He told me if I didn't call them back they would show up at my door and arrest me.  I'm still sitting here dressed in my best ensemble, waiting.  So, you're saying I got all dressed up for nothing?

they doo but i tell them to fck off and they usually do.

Unless I recognize the number, I never answer. Although I see a fair amount of calls from other states, no one ever leaves a message. 

Yes I have received several. Usually they do have a middle eastern accent. In addition several words they use are not common in the US like "sending bailiffs to take you to the magistrate". I have reported them to the treasury and the FBI. FYI The IRS will always use the USPS first. 

NOt by phone but by email. Reported to my accountant who gave me the official phishing report site. 

I haven't received a call from the IRS but I have received calls from my "bank." They needed my credit card and debit card numbers to straighten out a "problem." The first time I told them I like to lather up with Vasoline, lay on the kitchen floor, and pretend I'm a slug. The second time I told them, "Thank you for calling the Peidmont Triad sperm bank, if you'll yank it we'll bank it!" The third time I told them I had bad constipation and grunted strenuously over the phone while dropping marbles in a bucket of water for sound effects.

I blocked everything. I don't get any calls from anyone anymore.:-( This post was edited by Zack at March 16, 2017 5:30 AM MDT
