Recorded message claiming to be an officer Julie Smith from the IRS, with a threat to return the call before action is taken. Return number is not toll-free (as IRS numbers are). Assuming this is part of a scam reported on by news services and documented on the IRS site: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Repeats-Warning-about-Phone-Scams.

Carrier is "Ymax Oration Landline in Washington, DC"

It is a scam. Do not bother calling back. The IRS always uses mail to initiate contact with taxpayers for tax issues. They also never threaten arrest unless you pay immediately nor do they accept Green Dot Money Pack cards or any other untraceable payment methods for tax liabilities.  report them to US Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration

Report to both the Treasury Department and the FTC as recommended in the second link.

This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.  
Read http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm

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. 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). You can use the following template for your letter (more powerful!) or email:

They give you two options: Pay now or they will send LEO to your address to arrest you and will cost you much more to clear the unreported INCOME. If chose to pay they ask you to go to Home Dept or Savon submit an Electronic warrant for the fake amount that you are due. Again IT'S A FRAUD, SCAME SCAME ********JUST PICKUP AND HANGUP.

cont:
If you are really frustrated.
You can also annoy them by playing along. Call from different phone number. not your home number, or what not.

They will ask you for your cell number. Don't give your cell number, that is another scam to get hold of your cell number for fraudulent charges. Tell them sure here is my cell number 911-911-0011 LOL

Recorded message on my voice mail indicated that i need to return the call before further action is taken... # to call back 202-241-0919  sounded like a recording female voice. I did not call back after i put the # in google and see several reports that it is a scam.

Same as everyone else.  The callbot was actually polite.  It's,  nonetheless, an obvious scam.  The actual call came through San Juan, California.

I just called back and said, "you are not the IRS!" and he told me to "go to hell" and hung up.  I called back three times and he did the same thing.

Received call from 202-241-0919 and showed as Washington, DC on caller ID.  The recording was from Julie Smith of the IRS telling me to call before further action is taken.  Knowing I do not have any issues with the IRS decided to google the number and found your messages.  Thanks!!
