202-241-5713

I just posted the following under 607-529-9985:
Call received at 2:34 pm Wed Jan 28, 2015.  
Which I did not recognize and thus did not answer. Caller ID "PAYPHONE" "607-529-9985".  Left a recorded message:  "This is a final notice from the IRS, Internal Revenue Service. The reason that this call is to inform you that IRS is filing lawsuit against you.  To get more information about this case file, please call immediately on 202-241-5713.  I repeat 202-241-5713.    Thank you."  (message is verbatim).

I have not called the 202 number.  I will be filing a complaint with the National DO NOT CALL registry and with the IRS.  I would be very wary if I received a call from 202-241-5713.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

I received a call at 6:45am!!  I knew the IRS would not call at that time.  It was a computer message telling me the IRS was pressing charges against me and told me to call 212-241-5713.  I called them and gave them an ear full and told them they are a bunch of scammers.  How do we get rid of them?

I got a call at 7:03 AM from "Illinios 630-894-0625".  Robotic female voice said "We have been trying to reach you.  Please consider this call to your final notice.  You are being sued by IRS Internal revenue Service.  For more information on this action call 202-241-5713"

I received similar recorded call this morning from number that showed up as "private" on caller ID.  The automated message stated that they have repeated attempted to contact us and then " "This is a final notice from the IRS, Internal Revenue Service. The reason that this call is to inform you that IRS is filing lawsuit against you.  To get more information about this case file, please call immediately on 202-241-5713.  I repeat 202-241-5713.    Thank you."

I will follow your suggestion on contacting IRS and DO NOT Call Registry.

As follow to my prior message - I checked out IRS fraud complaint site online and one of their recommendations was to go ahead and call back the number given and if they identify themselves as "IRS" ask the person for their name and badge number so you have that info to document with your report of suspicious call (see instruction at end of my comment).  So I called the suspicious ph number  (202-241-5713) and  after a few attempts got gentle with foreign sounding accent who answered call saying something like "This is the IRS, how can I help you" (with call center noises in background)..I calmly said I'm calling because I received a strange call this morning and before we go on could please give me your name and badge number so I'm sure its the IRS I'm talking too....causing him to pause for a moment and then he said "AJ2909" as if he was making up as he went along so I repeated the code back to him and asked him skeptically was that his badge number or his name, he said badge # so I then asked him again for his name....he paused for a few seconds and apparently picked up that I was bemused with his responses and knew this was a scam and  finally exclaimed you "F@!&ker" and hung up.  

IRS guidance:
If you receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS but you suspect they are not an IRS employee: ...Record the employee's name, badge number, call back number and caller ID if available.
Call 1-800-366-4484 to determine if the caller is an IRS employee with a legitimate need to contact you.
   If the person calling you is an IRS employee, call them back.
   If not, report the incident to TIGTA and to us at phishing@irs.gov (Subject: 'IRS Phone Scam'

This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.  
Read http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm

As general background information, here are a few things you can do:
1) Report it to TIGTA under http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml especially if you have become a victim (lost money, gave personal information etc.). You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint (include “IRS Telephone Scam" in your complaint). This way you can also help the government establish specific fraud patterns.

2) Help kill their phone lines but not by calling them back directly (the number may be spoofed and repeat calls by you may - under exceptional circumstances- amount to harassment). The scammers use Voice over IP lines (e.g. magicJack (Ymax corporation)) to make it seem as if they are calling from the US. This is always against these companys' terms of service and can lead to immediate termination of their contract and blocking of their IP addresses for future attempts to register. Do a reverse look up of their telephone number (e.g. www.whitepages.com) to identify the Voice over IP provider and report it to the company and/or law enforcement (local police and/or state attorney general)

3) If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction and provide US law enforcement agencies with the political backing and the resources they need to work in India and Pakistan together with local authorities (it can happen, read: http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ex-call-cen ... mmission-320427). A US task force has already been set up in Jamaica to nab scammers there (see http://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/library/reports/cornerstone/cornerstone7-1.pdf).
