Just started getting call after call after call on my cell.. Alabama

Caller ID said 'Cap 8 Doors and...'.  Called me on my land line.  Asked for me by name.  Asked who this was, got disconnected fast.  Weird.  

This is a supposedly loan approval and how much do i want. Foregin accent and very obviously a scam. Hung up real quick when i stated i didnt think so and to remove me from the list.

Got a call from this number claiming to be the IRS. It was a recording telling me to call before they start legal action. Total bogus!

Same IRS threat by a thick-accent (Indian?). He left 2 msgs. on landline.  He screwed his script up first time and quit partway into the msg, then called back and said his full script, left as a msg.     Said to call back at 202-506-9509 which is a CELL phone in DC according to google search..

Called with automated message and said they were the IRS and I should call them back right away it is very important. The recording was terrible.  I was a scam.

Faking they are IRS and want payment now or legal action will be taken. Scam

Automated voice claiming to be an IRS agent. Told to call a hot line about some issue... Bogus!!!

This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for this.

The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone. The scammers use voice over IP lines (e.g. magicjack (Ymax corporation). This is always against these companys' terms of use and can lead to termination of their contract. However only law enforcement can initiate the contact if you yourself are not a customer. Therefore, report it also to your local law enforcement agency. Ultimately this is a case for the FBI legal attache in Islamabad or New Delhi. 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 the NSA can finally be a force for good).

Dear Senator/Representative XXX

As your constituent, I am writing to urge you to demand decisive action from the FBI, the IRS and other federal agencies against organized crime directed against American citizens from abroad.

As widely reported by local and national media all across the United States and warned about by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (see http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm) a tidal wave of fraud using Internet phones has hit the United States. Millions of dollars already have been stolen by criminals impersonating federal officers from the IRS while hiding in countries like India and Pakistan, where most of the calls originate. There seems to be no end of it in sight.

I have personally been targeted by these scammers but it is the most vulnerable among us that I am concerned about primarily. The scheme is specifically singling out those that can least defend themselves against these crimes, in particular the elderly. I am also worried that given the origin of these gangsters, the money stolen from US citizens may be used for financing of terrorism or other activities directed against the national interests of the United States. But in spite of this clear and present danger to our country and its citizens I have seen no action worth mentioning by the FBI, the IRS or other federal agencies so far.

As a member of Congress overseeing the law enforcement agencies tasked with fighting fraud and ensuring national security, I implore you to make sure that they act on these threats and are given all the necessary resources to target these criminals in cooperation with foreign law enforcement.

Yours sincerely

Got numerous out of the blue automated call from a Julie Smith at 202-506-9717 and stated not to disregard this message and you MUST call back to avoid legal litigation.  I called for several days and it never rang and just went to an unknown and unlabeled voice mail wanting your information.  Do not give them any info... possible fraud ring!!!

Called DNC listed number. No response when answered.
