The caller stated that he was from the IRS and his names was Mr. James Anderson. He provided the badge number of 958741 and stated that he was an officer of the law. He was calling to collect a debt of $627 from a prior tax issue. He stated that I cannot call my tax agency but instead I will need to find an attorney if I did not pay him immediately. I asked him to what regards should I pay the IRS when they gave me no notice. He stated, “If you do not pay immediately then you will be arrested and the courts will be notified in 45 minutes of your refusal.” I have had one prior tax problem before but that was because I was completing my taxes myself. So, for the past 6 years I have had a CPA and only one job for the entire year if possible. As I was speaking to Mr. Anderson and trying to gain information he continued to repeat his self. He stated that he needed to consult his management and wanted to place me on hold. I stated that he should consultant his because I have never heard of the section code that he stated I BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE for. As he tried to place me on hold I tried to ask him again what the code that he used was. He refused to tell but said I will place you on hold. I in returned told him I am calling my lawyer. He quickly said no you need to pay and the only thing a lawyer can help you with is the courts not the payment. So I called my father who told me it was a scammed. As I tried to click back over Mr. Anderson had hung up. I called my local IRS and attempted to ask them but NO ONE ANSWERED AS USUAL! At this point I recalled the 415.413.3490 number asked for Mr. Anderson but he was person that answered the phone and I asked could he repeat his badge number so I can gather the necessary information to pay. He then stated his badge number was 258927 which was not his first answer! This guy is really trying to scam someone and I am thankful that I had the sense not to give out my information. Please be aware that your LOCAL IRS will send a letter before calling you and if you have a CPA they should handle this not YOU!
