202-622-2000

To whom does this numer belong to ?
they claim to be: Senior Secretary, Foreign Assets Control
The U.S. Department of the Treasury
Treasury Annex

i would like to know who they are too - same voice with different #'s and american names clearly with a heavy indian accent - ?   i think it is some kind of scam

Got a call from this number stating they were the US Treasury and that I would be arrested within the hour if I did not pay my back taxers which I do not owe.. BEWARE

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:

I didn't answer and blocked the number

I didn't answer they didn't leave a message which is odd if it was the Department of Treasury so I called the Department of Treasury collections division to find out if I had any debts owed or something was wrong with my taxes and there was nothing on my social security number so I think this is a scam also

I received a call from this number, the person claims I am eligible for $7000 in Government Grant money, I hung up after they attempted to verify my name and address - possible I.D. theft

Call them back. They will leave you alone if you call them back tomorrow.

Stupid auto correct.

Repeated calls claiming to be I.R.S.
What is the authenticity of this?

Believe this to be a scam of sorts.  Was offered $7000 from the government to pay bills.

I had a call from the above number, I didn't answer and there was no message.  Said Dept. of the Treasury.  Gee I've been awarded a large sum of money!T

I got a call. I called back to see who it was. The prompt stated that it was the US Treasury. Many menus. I made the mistake thinking it was truly the US Treasury and input my ssn. Mistake. I spent several hours contacting my banks, SS office, the three Credit reporting agencies. I hope that I have stopped them in their tracks. We'll see.

Jerk called , asking for my wife. She has her own # and nothing to do with mine. Told the SoB to get a real job and never to call me again.

Keep getting "missed" phone calls from this number; they don't leave message. When I called back a recording says it is US Treasury Dept. with hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Another call just came at 7:50 p.m. which I did not answer.  Again, no message left.  Who is this???

Declined and blockrd call from this number. I called and got a pre recorded US Treasury Dept. This is a scam! This has happened to me before. I went to my local police dept and they said to ignore all calls. Do not give out any information to anyone you do not know over the phone.

The 202-622-2000 number is the actual number for the General Information line of the Dept of Treasury,http://www.treasury.gov/connect/Pages/contact-us.aspx,   The number is most likely spoofed via VOIP when a message is left by the scammers.

When I answered the call there was a lot of noise in the background. The caller said he is calling from Washington, DC and is with the U S Treasury. I said I did not believe him and he asked why. I said the background noise would not come from a reliable Treasury Dept call. He started calling me baby and honey. I told him I did not appreciate being called that by a stranger and hung up.

I have been getting calls since January. The first one threated to bring the sheriff to my door if I didn't pay taxes that I supposedly owed through fraudulent returns. They wanted the money on a green dot card. Now I have gotten a call stating that the government selected me to receive some kind of money. They also used another number 202-243-0000. The last call said wits 3 on my caller id. I keep hanging up on them but they keep calling me back ugh!

Said they were from a Federal Grant companyu
