Not yet!

I am thinking they lied to me.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way anymore thanks to the interwebs.
Technically, NPA/NXX 347/434 is New York, NY but that 1000 block is registered to a company in FL that doles out numbers so that they can be used in spoofing CNAM as local calls.

Does this fit the bill?:
"Got a voicemail today from this phone "Susan Allen" stating she's calling from IRS Investigation Dept and this is notification that an arrest warrant has been issued & that my physical address is not under federal investigation.
I called back and spoke with "Mark Taylor" who answered IRS Investigation Department he pulled up the number that I called from (my cell #) and stated that the representative who had called me before was with another person. He proceeded to explain that there are been two letters from IRS sent to my OLD mailing address in July 2016 and Aug 2016 stating I had my taxes audited and there were "multiple errors" found for "multiple years" he wasn't able to give me the specific years but stated it had been filed with my local courthouse and police department and I could be arrested within the next hour!
He provided me with a case # and then forwarded me to his DIVISION HEAD by the name of Ray Breslin" ID Badge # 8414061. Again, claimed letters had been sent for notification of this debt. I told them they had old mailing address for me on file and he asked if I had filed IRS Form D7. They all have the heaviest accent too... perhaps Indian, but I'm not sure.
I told them the IRS has my current information (i.e. Correct last name and current mailing address). The IRS also doesn't call, they mail you information and wouldn't bother calling with "last notification" procedures. I was not worried about being arrested. But what a total waste of time and frustration to understand them in the first place.

Called back that phone number again and it goes right to voicemail stating "thank you for calling Internal Revenue Service." Same guy with heavy accents. So annoying."

Same reported from several different TN's in this group. There is no way to stop this anymore.

some of us get paid by FOX and Rush, the people getting paid by moveon.org, dailyKos and HuffPoo don't do as well.

It will not stop until laws are changed. That will not happen because the telemarketers have a strong lobby and congress in their pocket.

I gots a call from the IRS today and they hung up on me.

Post of the year right there! Concise and devastating.

like always, you miss so much, post 24 was much better.

Back in the olden days before electricity, I used to get calls from people ordering pizzas pies on account of our numbers being somewhat close.

I usually just took their orders and told them their pies will be ready in an hour at half price with free delivery.

I told them I was an IRS special agent, and I would take care of the bill when I got to the office.

Got similar call from Mr Packi... who can not even pronounced Canadian Revenue Agency correctly :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

So I told him that my Paypal account was dormant so he should send me the refund via Western Union :D:):D

Scams R Us..

Now why would they lie to you?

My parents had their phone number for many years. A pizza joint opened up and they get a phone number that was close and a lot of people mis-dialed. My dad would be polite for the first time and tell them they have the wrong number and even tell them the correct phone number. If the same dummy called right back he took the order. When they called after an hour of waiting looking for the pizza he told them to come down to the store and talk to the manager and he would give them two free pizzas of their choice. The pizza place closed down after about a year. Dad was not sorry to see it gone.

These people are committing FCC and DHS and IRS crimes with fraud.
Multiple offenses.
Overwhelming.

But if Silk Road had only used dial-up instead...it would all be ok...

You will always be notified by mail first.

that said if you get a letter saying your taxes were already filed and they suspect fraud, after your E-filing failed, it IS the IRS and someone filed for you trying to steal a refund ! 1 Million folks a year ! Ask me how I know... I got a nice special pin now... and a locked down credit rating !

They got (some) of them!!!!!

Got that call just last night SmileWavy

I've gotten that phone call too. Too bad it's a recorded message, because it's so much fun to mess with a live person. When I got a call from "Geek Support" last year, I got the guy to spend 20 minutes describing what the Windows logo looks like. I eventually gave him the IP address to fbi.gov when he wanted to remotely connect to my machine.

That is a start. One tiny drop in the bucket but it is better than nothing.

We get 4 or 5 calls every single day at work from some BS claiming to be with Google Business listings. If I try to talk to them at all it disconnects. I have never gotten far enough into it to find out why they keep calling. If it was really Google, they already know everything about our business, why do we need to update anything?

I can't even figure out the angle and how anyone is making money just calling us over and over.
