202-436-9704

This was a scam from someone posing to be the IRS. Beware of these horrible people.

IRS is filing a lawsuit against you. OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! fun scams

I just got a automated message from 938-560-3621 saying it was a final notice from the IRS which is filing a law suit against me. To please call 202-436-9704.

Got a call from this number saying that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me and to call them back at the 202 number.  SCAM.

I got the same call and they answered the phone directly no operator and their connection was bad.  I called back and got a different guy and connection was still bad

Did you call the number back, I am afraid to do so.

Call from IRS stating this was a final notice and they would be filing a lawsuit against me.  

The call is an automated message telling you this is the IRS and this is your last notice before taking legal action. Sounded like bull, and it is. IRS does not use automated voice notifications.

Just got a call. Claiming a suit has been filed against me by the IRS. Called back, foreign person, bad connection. Called again and busy signal. Knew it was as scam, but wanted to let them know I knew.

Same call Jan 8 2014 Played with all afternoon. Finally gave local number from this list and now the phone rings busy hum. Yes the IRS will never contact by phone for any suit they always need a paper trails. The US Mail and it will be a CP form number. IE CP30 for 30day CP60day CP90day. Then it will be registered mail to assure them you signed for it.

I got  the same type of call from a 717 area code that referred me to the 202-436-9704 number because the "IRS was auditing me", when I called back to both numbers, no one answered. I reported my call to the IRS fraud division.

Received a call at 6:40 AM from 933-564-3681 with automated message that IRS is filing lawsuit. Yeah Right !!! Like to see you try. To stop the lawsuit I have to call 202-436-9704. Yeah Right. Not even going to try.
Can't understand that the IRS is not going after these scammers.
What Call Type category you list this one under???

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://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).
