Tax Debt Scam Alert! Why That 800‑985‑0671 Call Is a Red Flag

In Depew, New York, I received a call from this number claiming to be about winning prizes or sweepstakes

This caller is perpetrating an IRS scam, using a virtual assistant to initiate contact, and upon expressing interest, I was transferred to a person who claimed they did not have a website, exposing the operation as deceitful and warranting reports to the IRS, FCC, and FTC

They called me from this number, saying i owe past due taxes, but i dont, they told me to call another number

That womans call was pretty anoying

A call was received with instructions to call back 1-800-985-0671 regarding a tax debt, but no call back was made.

Linda called me again from a different numberr this time, 803-631-9522

Similar to Daniel M's experience, I received calls from two different numbers, 405-646-4891 and 405-389-0820, with the same female voice asking me to contact 800-985-0671, which I did not do, suspecting a total scam.

A similar experience was reported, involving a call from a different number, 458-287-7101, with the same request to contact 800-985-0671, which is indicative of potentially fraudulent activity.

A woman left a message about tax debt forgivness, wich sounds like a scam to me, the caller didnt specify wich taxes were being forgiven.

Seems similair to me alway's…

A automated call was recieved about tax debt relief and the federal economic recovery program

Everyone's experience seems to be the same, with calls originating from 803-925-7917.

Following a call about tax relief, it became clear that the real issue lies with phone companies peddling fake services, such as Caller ID, which can be easily spoofed, thereby scamming consumers who pay for this questionable service, and it's puzzling that regulators haven't taken action against this

The tax scam associated with this number remains active, and I've forwarded it to a scam bait forum for further handling.

This scam mirrors the one reported by Mike, and it's worth noting that the IRS would not initiate contact via phone in this manner.

A scam, presumably from a spoofed number, claimed that my past due tax debt had been placed in a non-collectable status, as per the captured transcript: “when you get this message, please call me back at 1 800-985-0671.”

This number is reportedly involved in a scam, with some users even referencing 'green eggs and ham' in their descriptions.

This claim is entirely false, and it appears to be a phishing scam designed to extract personal information from unsuspecting individuals.
