IRS scam

A debt collections scam report, targeting a consumer in AL, USA - 35603.

Narrative evidence

What happened

Received a call about 9:00 am today. The caller stated that he was from the IRS and there was a pending lawsuit regarding my taxes. He said that the local authorities had been notified and that I was facing a lawsuit from the IRS. I asked for his name, he said David Walker. The caller had a Middle Eastern accent. He said his ID number was 523S27. I told him that I wasn't aware of anything wrong in regard to my taxes. When I told him that I felt like this was BS he quickly hung up. I called the number back and the guy answered the call by saying "Vicki, (my first name) there is no need to call back if you don't believe me." I told him to remove my name and never call again. At which point he hung up again.

How to protect yourself from debt collections scams

Never send money, gift cards or crypto to anyone you have not independently verified.
Search the business name, website, email and phone number here before paying.
Be wary of urgency, secrecy, upfront fees and “too good to be true” prices.
If you have paid, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to dispute the charge.
Report to Action Fraud (UK), the FTC (US) or your national authority, and add your occurrence above.
