202-864-1183

Received two fake calls from what claimed to be the IRS. Threatening to file fraud charges. One was a robo-call the other was pre-recorded.

Have gotten 2 calls from this number claiming to be the IRS saying that they were filing fraud charges. Both were robo-calls and it frightened me the first time, but after that, it's just useless calls.

got 1 robo call from this bs irs

Oh, no.  It's the IRS and they are filing a lawsuit against me!  Whatever shall I do?  Maybe go to https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us and file a complaint?

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.

Had a pretty recorded phone call saying they were from the IRS and they were fimg a law suit against me and to call this number  so tired of people trying to take advantage against someone else to get money because they are to stinking lazy to get a real job.  This makes mad I hope they all get caught sometime.

Just got a voice mail from this number. Very serious voice saying it was my final notice that the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me and I should call this number immediately. I started laughing because it was so ludicrous but then was angry because I know a lot of people would call and would be swindled out of their money. I'll do all the reporting I can, which if nothing else, might alert at least one person not to fall for this scam!

Just received a recorded message, "We`ve been trying to reach you.  This is to inform you the IRS is filing a lawsuit against you".  At which I said, yeah right, and rang off.  Dang!  There oughta be a law!

Also received a pre-recorded "final notice" call tell me the IRS is going to file suit.  Could not leave a message in return.

Ditto to the above. Final notice, the IRS is filing suit against me, must call immediately. When will these people be stopped!

Most of these calls are coming from India and Pakistan. We have no jurisdiction in the foreign country's - so unless their governments decide to cooperate, not much is going to happen.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 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.

Just got the robo call.  My daughter freaked out thinking the IRS is going to sue us.  I told her it doesn't work that way.

Received 2 Robo calls today on my answering machine, both claiming to be from the IRS and, as stated by others here, threatening legal action for IRS fraud. The numbers that called me were 202-864-1183 and 360-464-1123 claiming to be from the office of agent "Jenny White". I immediately went to the IRS website for info as to reporting these scam calls.
Reports were made to both agencies:

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484_
and The Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.

A restricted number called my mom's house and stated the IRS was suing her and she had to call this number with in 24 hrs.  202-864-1183 I knew it was a scam but I called the number to prove to my mother that it was  a scam and the man asked if I was a Christian then stated he wanted to F#*k me. Just wanted to pass it along

Same message as previous comments. I as well will file a complaint. It is my understanding the IRS will only contact you via snail mail?

I just received the same call from 202-864-1183...when I told them that I knew it was a scam & was going to report them the middle eastern fellow began using every profanity he could think of. What has our IRS become...lol. I cant believe anyone could fall for this nonsense. Hopefully they will all be caught some day but I wont hold by breath.

Fake call called to say the Irs was filing charges for fraud this makes the second one

supposedly the IRS is going to file a suit against me...good luck scammers!  IRS likes me because I work, pay my taxes and am not a scum sucking leech trying to exploit those who have less knowledge of this subject.

Left a message and it was a women's voice telling me to call back. Scammer all right....I called back using *67 to not identify my number and tell them they're scammers and the call didn't go through.

left message :"urgent please call back at this number regarding a case file" ...sounds like a scam
