202-506-9236

Wife answered.  Recorded message, claiming to be the IRS and we needed to respond in order to avoid penalties.

We received a call saying it was important to call 202-506-9236 back to avoid legal issues.  I called this number today from another telephone number and they answered the telephone Internal Revenue Service.  They asked me the number that received the call on and what my name was.  I asked the reason for their call and they asked me if I had an attorney.  I said maybe, but why would the IRS need my attorney's name.  They said there is litigation against me and they wanted to send the attorney the documents.  I suggested they send the file to me and i would contact my attorney directly.  They said they would send the papers to my home and hung up.

I just got the message also.  I'm not going to call back.

Telephone scam call with an automated voice said to  call Julie Smith, IRS agent:  to call her back re: IRS issues  (202) 506-9236  Then the voice said "Take Care"

My  friend from Church has been getting calls from Washington, her phone ID showed. Today she got one with Julie Smith, 202-506-9236. When she got home, she called and asked to speak to Julie, but a man with a foreign accent said Julie wasn't in. My friend wanted to know what the call was about, but he didn't give any info. My friend just recently made a 1st payment to the IRS at their office. Once, while trying to find out what Julie wanted, he said Julie was a liar. She told him she would go to the IRS office and find out what it is all about. He told her she couldn't go to the office, for it was closed to the public since a woman went in there and left with 2 million dollars. He even asked her if she hadn't seen this in the news! My friend was disturbed and told me this. I live too far to go there to check it out, but told her it was a scam, for it "reeked" of tactics I'd seen warnings of scams on people being called for "failure to show for jury duty", "utility bills payment checks didn't go through", etc. The details were different, but this had the same red flags. She hadn't thought to call the IRS, but when I said I would, she looked it up in her phone book and learned it was a scam. I was looking up the nearest IRS office in my part of the state, when she called to tell me they told her where to call to report this. That call bothered her, too, for they needed to know, name, address, age, and more. They did tell her to hang up, or not even bother to answer.

Do not try to outwit the scammers. Staying on the phone someway lets them use your line to make expensive LD calls. I learned this years ago when one man, who reached me wrongly, even told me he could do this, after he asked me to wait while he took me off their list (he said he would be doing). I called AT&T, my LD company, and it was confirmed it could happen. I reported it, so never knew if they adjusted by bill before sending it to me,or if that man never tried to use it. Before that, if I got a wrong # call in from long distance, I'd offer to look up the # for them in my local book,  but I won't do that now.

Many calls over the past week.  When I answer I get "goodbye" and they hang up.

After seeing all the scam calls posted online, suspect that someone else answered before me while they were shotgunning numbers.

Received a call from 202-506-9236 at 5:40 p.m. today.  Recorded message from a woman who identified herself as Julie Smith.  Said I should call the number or have my attorney call as the IRS matter is time sensitive to prevent further penalties.

Tried to report the problem to AT&T and the IRS.  AT&T could care less, and referred me to IRS.  The Treasury site is overwhelmed with similar calls.  So they want either fax, voice recording or report via the website.  The website is only interested in your info and not a space to report the abusing number.  They all seem to try to remedy the situation and not prevent it.  Elderly people will fall for this scam, be a victim, and then have to go through a myriad of red tape.  The phone companies should be able to block the phone numbers but they DON'T WANT TO DO IT.  You figure that they are getting some money for their illicit business.  The IRS does not want to prevent it so that they can grow and hire more people to answer the victims calls.  We know the perpetrators 202 .  but nothing is being done.

I just got the same call I am glad.I read this thank you I am not going to fall for this scam.

Same issue like others reported, yesterday 8/14/2014 message on my answering machine automated call from Julie Smith claiming to be an officer of IRS related wanted me to call back at this Number 1-202-506-9236 and repeated the number twice, caller ID shows call was made from this Number: 1-212-662-4579.
I have about $50.00 prepaid on my long distance account which normally adds up to 40 hours of calls within US, when I called 1_202-506-9236 my long distance provider said you have 10 minutes for this call!!
I did hang up immediately before connection was made, I think if I waited to connect somehow the recipient  would have collected my money!! luckily didn't happen.
Do not call back, just ignore these calls.  
These are intimidating  automated calls.
Just ignore them.

We don't know the perpetrators.   They are a group of hard-core Indian scammer/extortionists located in India.     That we do know.  But nobody cn prevent the calls.   You can protect yourself with a call blocker and do not pick up on call numbers you do not recognize.  There's nothing the phone companies or the IRS can do about it.

Got call from "June Smith" purporting to be from the IRS and asking me to call back. Obviously fraudulent.

Received a bad computer voice message stating that a levy was going to be filed against me.  The caller ID shows DC, USA.
Called back and spoke with a woman with an "India" accent.  She claimed to be with the IRS.  She asked me for the name of my attorney.  I asked what for.  She stated that the IRS audited my tax returns for the last seven years and there were deficiencies.  They are going to sue me for the money.  She hung up on me.  It is a SCAM.  

I called back and was told by another "India" accented man that there was no record but he would tell me why they called.  I asked him how he could give me information when my phone number didn't pull anything up.  He hung up on me.  By the way, when did the IRS start using phone numbers as ID?  SCAM.  Watch out.

Here is the message in it's entirety;

“The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. Officer Julie Smith from internal revenue service and the hotline to my division is 2025069236. I repeat it's 2025069236. Don't disregard this message and do return the call before we take any action against you. Goodbye and take care.

Sometimes they say "God Bless" at the end, total scam. Don't bother. What government agent says "take care" and "God Bless", they could care less if we took care.

SAID THEY WERE THE IIRS.

I Received a call from 202-506-9236. I usually do not answer numbers I do not know. Instantly a message came on saying I need to call Judy Davis due to IRS fraud. I called and a Keven Peterson answered, Indian accent, it was a scam but I went along with it. I could here many phones and poeple talking in the background. He never asked any personal info other than my name. He asked if I had an attorney, he then proceeded to tell me that I was going to get arrested for taxt fraud. I asked him why the IRS hadn't talked to my cpa that I have been using since I was in the Marines, over 20 years. He started to say that tax poeple make mistakes and then all of a sudden his line went dead, but I was not hung up on, it was like I was put on hold. I eventually hung up after 2 minutes. I called back and went right into an answering machine. Stay calm and ask questions and they will hang up. report the call and pass it on to friends and family.

these people called claiming an IRS Fraud committed by me and that i owed $5k and if i wanted to avoid jail i had to pay it immediately but not by credit or debit or bank transfer, they wanted MoneyPak cards to be purchased and they wanted the number of the card. they at first tell you to log onto the IRS website like you are actually going to pay the IRS but they take the number off the card before you get to that point. Some Middle Eastern accent people but his name was Kevin Richardson. The number he called me back from was 800-829-4059. I reversed this number because it is a land line and it came up as 1145 W Diversey Pkw Chicago, IL 60614. the other address associated with this is PO Box 480651 Niles, IL 60714. Hope this helps someone in Chicago get these individuals..

Those are spoofed numbers.  The calls originate in India.   As such they are outside the reach of US law.  

Call blocker is your best bet.
