202-241-8537

***Call Type: SCAMMER/Visher***

This number called my land line today at 10:09am. I do not have an answering machine on my phone any more but I do have Caller ID.

When I called the number back to see why a number from Washington, D.C. would be calling me this guy answered instead of the normal answering system used by the IRS. This person claimed to be the IRS and asked me my phone number and name to "look up" why I was being called. He then informed me that I was being sued for Tax Evasion for the years 2005 and 2006 and asked if I had a Lawyer. When I informed him that I did not owe any taxes because I haven't worked since 1997 and that while I didn't have an Attorney now that I would GET one, he hung up.

I then proceeded to find the IRS website and found that this IS a SCAM!!! Learn about it here: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Reiterate ... -Telephone-Scam

Then go to http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml and report it IMMEDIATELY!!!!

It is strongly suggested that you go to and inform yourselves about the various IRS Scams that the IRS is already aware of. If you run across a new one be SURE to report it to the link given above!!!

REMEMBER: Scammers do NOT pay any attention to the Do Not Call Registries!!!

                          AND, Whining here for these scammers to stop won't do you a bit of good, either. It just proves you to be an IDIOT!!!

This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.

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://m.ndtv.com/article/india/ex-call-centr ... 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). You can use the following template for your letter (more powerful!) or email:

Just for fun called them back. After giving minimal info the person offered to transfer me to the right department. When transferred I asked second person why he sounded just like the first person. Guess what? ?? He hung up on me.

When I returned the phone call from "IRS agent Julie Smith", the guy told me (in a heavy Indian accent) that I owed $4,481 in back taxes from 09/10 that I willfully withheld from the United States government. He then told me the IRS has filed a four count affidavit against me and my wife. He tried yelling at me while reading the affidavit, telling me if I interrupt him again he will file the affidavit and an IRS agent will be at my door within the hour to arrest me and take me to the courthouse. These scumbags are the type of people you wish you could reach through the phone lines for.

Got a call from Julie Smith from the IRS her voice was computerized and muffled.She said to call her back that it was time sensitive.I say BS don't call back report this please unfortunately they may find a sucker so report it the more we post the better.Scammer Alert!!!!!!!

I called these people 202-241-8537 every day for two weeks harassing them 3 times a day with 3 phone all at the same time, they finally disconnected the phone number!!!

I terrorized these guys for weeks now, and today their Magic Jack # is disconnected. I am trying to find their new #. I need it so I have someone to f*** with while I am in Traffic. I miss them.

Found'em! 202-379-1931. Same guys as 202-241-8537. I hope they get a drone attack!
