202-602-1424

Bad quality robo call from - caller ID Washington DC - law firm (name garbled) with message I was being sued and to call back for details.

They called said they were from the IRS and that I was being sued for not paying my taxes..When I said I did they then said It was not that but that I lied on my taxes. As soon as I google searched and saw listing of this number it confirmed that the number was fake. He had a heavy accent from India. Stated his name was officer Black from the IRS

Also received a call saying I was being sued.......no answer

same... Left msg regarding a lawsuit...

It's completely fake!
Got a call today March 12, 2015 from what called ID said was Washington, DC.  The message starts at the end of a sentence stating to contact them before the case goes to the local courthouse. Then they leave the number 202-602-1424.  People, COURTHOUSES and the IRS DO NOT CONTACT YOU VIA PHONE...ONLY VIA U.S. MAIL.  We receive multiple scam callers each week, but never pick up that phone.

Called three times today already...     I blocked my caller I.D. number and call them back and of course, no answer.   My taxes are paid and the IRS and other agencies contact you by certified mail not a cheap Radioshack robo caller.    Very annoying.

My wife answered a call from this # and they said they could only speak to me but that I was going to be sued.  I called # back and no answer.

same as above, whoever it was left a garbled vm but I before I called back I came to this site.  Glad I did - thanks everyone!

message that was picked up mid sentence saying my case was being sent to the local courthouse. I called back and just heard clicking sounds.

Got a message today William Black. I was being sued and this was the IRS
1-202-602-1424

I also got a call from this number saying I was being sued. No reason given. Thanks all for posting this.

Same as above.  Wife called back after hearing message, and caller only wanted to speak with me. Became very unruly, so wife hung up on him.  Called back later with garbled recorded message.
  Remember, if you are being sued, you will be served papers in writing. Never over the phone.

Received the same call. Wanted my son, person was from India. Hard to understand. Said they were being sued!  Scam for sure

I received multiples calls from this number. Today they left a VM saying a lawsuit was being filed in my name at the County Courthouse. I did not call back.

I also received the calls. They came in two days in a row.  Think I will answer the next one and play along and then hit them back with what I know about their group and I have done an investigation and have reported their info for prosecution. Should be fun!

We got this call today too, they left two messages with the same robot voice as described in previous people's comments. I won't be calling back!

Got the same call from officer William black. Said they were taking matter to county court house. Being  sued. Something should be done about this.    Really heavy accent

These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement.

If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.
It's a phone scam.In fact, it tops the IRS "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams this year, and it's been surging in recent months, the agency said Thursday.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, has received reports of 290,000 scam calls since October 2013 and said nearly 3,000 victims have been swindled out of $14 million so far.

By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.

Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.

They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.

Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.

The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.

If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.

Just called them back, not knowing who called and only getting the number.  Bad quality phone service.  When asked what company this was, they asked me who I was. I asked the same question again and was told the IRS.  Then they asked for my by name.......scary.  I told him that if they needed to that they could contact me by mail. None if it sounded legit.

I called the guy back and decided to be rude and vulgar to the guy since when do legal representatives talk rude and vulgar back. This guy is a joke he does not work for the irs at all.
