202-629-9001

Two big tipoff's that this is [***] call from someone claiming to be from the irs. 1) for me, it was an obvious recording that's starting in the middle - a gentleman with a very thick indian accent 2) i received the call from "washington d.C." at what would be 7pm in the evening. The irs's hours = 8am - 5pm only.

**i work for a cpa. It is a well-known fact that the irs will only communicate with you in writing initially, they will not call! In fact, if you call the irs when you are on hold they have an outgoing message warning of scammers that call and leave threatening messages. They emphasize the fact that they do not call & not to fall for it.

Received a call from the above number that left a message - A man with a strong Indian accent said it was an IRS matter and needed to be taken care of immediately and it was about someone filing a lawsuit against me. (Really? why would the IRS be involved in that - lol)  Any how he continued on to say if he did not hear back from me or my attorney very soon, he wished me luck with the out come -- not sure if that's the number he was calling from, but that was the number he left for me to call back

He also actually gave me a "case number"

I received frantic call from a man with an Indian accent from US treasury regarding law suit. I need to respond immediately by contacting my lawyer. The government contacts you by mail not calls. Please ignore or ask him questions if you need entertainment.

Same as the rest! Wished me "good luck".

Just got a voice mail  warning us to call and that he wished us luck if we didnt respond-Man had a British Indian Accent

I returned a call to 202-629-9001 and saying they were from department of the treasury; however, they were unable to discuss the matter at this time.  Thick indian accent.  Called the previous day, 22 july and left a message threatening me to call them right back or my attorney.

Received a call on our answering machine, time stamped at 11:15am today. In a threatening voice said that this was in regards to a criminal case, file number CF 93151, that we needed to call or our attorney should call 202-629-9001

I got the same message with the same case #. what did u find out?

Just got call exactly as described above with same case number.  This is a scam.  IRS will always initiate contact by mail.

This is a scam the prerecorded message was as follows: I need you or your retained attorney off record to return the call the issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My phone number is (202) 629-9001 do not disregard this message do return the call. Now if you do not return the call and I do not hear from your attorney either then the only thing I can do is wish you good luck as the situation unfolds on you....I laughed so out loud when I heard this crap..lol

Same exact message....bunch of predatory [***] in the world

Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.   Block and ignore.   DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.   Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter.  But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters.  90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively.  IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes.  IRS has no powers of arrest.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of  money.  IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone.   IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case.  No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments.  Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but  usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement.    All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals.  All  contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

This is a scam the prerecorded message was as follows: I need you or your retained attorney off record to return the call the issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My phone number is (202) 629-9001 do not disregard this message do return the call. Now if you do not return the call and I do not hear from your attorney either then the only thing I can do is wish you good luck as the situation unfolds on you....

I called him back on a blocked phone, it said that the listed number was not in service.  I retunred from my cell, a male with accent, phillipino accent, "Department of treasury" .. I said, what is  your name, I said something, I said again, " What is your name? and he said "shut-up" to me and hung up - big time scammer!

receive the same kind of phone message -- stupid person wish me good luck if I don't call back -- I wish him good luck for not being caught by the FCC

Received threatening call about lawsuit from same man others have mentioned who also wished me good luck if I didn't call back

After receiving the message I looked the number up to find that all of you people have gotten the same call.  I hope like hell these scumbags get caught soon, I am so tired of scammers.

I got the same call as the above folks did.  I have received a call similar to this a few months back.
I called the IRS in Nashville and let them know of the number which was calling me.  Something needs
to be done about these SCAMMERS soon!  Before some older person falls for this scam and looses EVERYTHING they have!!!!!!!!

Received an identical message from this male on 7/24/15 at 1250 PM.

I wish him luck that Bubba doesn't abuse his corpse in Federal prison.

I received a message on my phone on 07/24 same as the above from the U.S.  Treasury department saying to call back immediately. I called them back and they answered as U.S. Treasury department. I told the about my message and he said his name was David Smith. He said he needed my first and last name. When I told him I needed proof that he was calling from the U.S. Treasury department before I would give him ant info, he hung up.
