202-241-8812

I just got a call from 202-241-8812 saying that I was at a fault and the IRS will get me if I don't call them now...

Jose Martin scammer from IRS called saying a sherriff is coming in 45 minutes to arrest me for not paying my taxes..

It is a scam artist using call id of Washington DC and/OR IRS and threaten to arrest if not paid taxes to them.  Don't fall for it.

Got similar call

I just got a call from 202-241-8812 saying that I was the IRS. Not to disregard this call. Sounds like Scum

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). You can use the following template for your letter (more powerful!) or email:

Not only left a voice mail, but a robo-voice mail saying she was OFFICER Julie Smith from the IRS.  Hmmmmm, thought they were agents. Maybe I should forward her voicemail to Max from Microsoft who wanted to do a free emergency security check on my computer yesterday.

IRS scam. "Respond to call or face arrest"  hilarious.  

I just received a call from 202-241-8812 saying that I should call a number before the IRS takes action against me.  (I don't even have an income.)

It was an electronic voice saying to not disregard this call and that it was the IRS..think it was a scam.

Same message as everyone else but the kicker was the "take care" at the end of the call.  Really? From the IRS?

Do consider maybe 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.

Yup, received the same message just now at 9:00 am, with "good bye and take care" at the end.

Contacted by 202-241-8812. IRS scam. Got the last 4 digits of my social.

I just received a call from 202-241-8812.  Saying I defrauded the IRS.  I don't even work.  there was an arrest warrent for me.  when i told him i hadnt work in 20 years. he hung up on me.

The guy had this weird accent, threatened us with 10 year jail time for tax fraud, but offered to settle if fine paid today and now. The idiot didn't know that IRS doesn't work on Saturday.

We had the call on the speaker phone. We both heard traffic honking noise. My wife heard someone calling 'Ahmad' in the background. I am not sure, I thought it was 'Mohamad' or something. Any way some Muslem gang using an internet cafe somewhere and trying to scam. Ignore. Beware.

I answered the call and a recording says to call this number immediatley to prevent action. that is is from the IRS the office of Jerry Smith...

Got a call from 202-241-8812 threat me.
    Can you stop these calls.

SCAM .. Robo call saying  Julie Smith from  IRS  and to call back and ending with take care. Sounds like a overseas call/ scam although number shows Washington DC area code.

Got a call from this number ("Julie Smith") and also from 571-222-3004. When I called, a man with a very heavy accent named "George Peters" asked me if I had a lawyer to represent me in court. He gave me an his "ID" number as 0220815 and "badge" number 0605. I told him I couldn't understand him because of his accent and he immediately hung up.
