801-605-1816 / 8016051816

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THIS 801 605 1816 .. IT CAME FROM IRS.. MY CONCERNED WAS IS IT REAL OR FRAUD

Funny thing--both my wife and I got a call from this number today, several times. No message. Looked at this website, suspicion aroused--but two things. Not many scammers are well-organized enough to be calling both my wifes's and my numbers, AND we do have current business with the IRS. I happened to have a recent letter from them, so called the direct number, and the guy who sent me the letter confirmed it was him trying to reach us. They have a computer phone system, it routes things thru a central number, and he kept trying to leave a message but our Verizon phones and his computer weren't working together--he said it didn't seem to register his voice. (I've had this happen to me once, stupid computers). Anyway, it WAS legit in our case. Just FYI.

Legit call - Personnel department regarding my recent job offer with the IRS. She was calling from Fresno, CA but the Utah number showed on caller ID.

My office and I have been called by these CROOKS posing as IRS. One number used is 801-612-4504 and the other is 801-605-1816.IRS NEVER calls you about a tax bill. NEVER. They will give you a number to call, as part of an official written notice. They write letters.These folks SOUND legitimate, so they will be successfully SCAMMING some folks. No doubt.

The Caller ID name read "US GOVT". We were skeptical at first. But admit my company is currently working with the IRS to pay off a tax debt. Today we got a voice message from an assigned field agent working on our case. We recognized the call back number in the agent's voice message. So this is not a scam to us. But, anyone else beware and alert to potential Caller ID scams.

It is an actual IRS number. I received a call from it as my call back for seasonal work.

Yes indeed Slim. Many believe that the IRS never calls. That is most often true, but not always true. They do indeed call in some instances and under some circumstances. The IRS Compromise center in Atlanta contacted me last year, by phone, concerning my "Offer of Compromise" case that had been in progress for about 5 months. All they wanted was to verify that nothing had changed that would impact my ability to pay the back taxes before reaching a decision. They advised me of their Acceptance decision via USPS Granny mail about 3 weeks later. Yes, 98+ percent of the time, they will use USPS Granny mail. Regardless of how nice they may sound or how threatening, the important thing is, As you advised Slim, Don't trust anyone and it is an absolute must that you verify the validity of the caller by initiating contact with a known IRS office to verify..Thank you for your post......

Despite common misconception, there are circumstances where the IRS will initiate a call. However they will not demand payment, they will inform of appeal rights, and it will always be in reference to an issue that you have with them, whether it's a notice, a letter, a tax collection issue, or even verification of wages. My phone call from this number was the Taxpayer Advocate whom I had contacted the day before to help with a refund issue.

It is the IRS. Really, they left a message about a very specific corporate tax issue we worked with them to resolve.
