202-506-9461

I received a voice mail message from 202-506-9461 that the call is from IRS for tax issues, and I or my attorney need to call them back.
Not calling back, as I am sure it is type of money extortion call

Received a call from someone named Michael Carber claiming to be with the IRS wanting the name of my Attorney for tax issues. He asked if iI have received a letter in the mail regarding a tax issue. Called number to investigate and recording says "the Voicemail box on this account is full, please try to leave a message later." This person has a heavy accent.

Total IRS scam originating in India.  

See:  http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/fake-irs-collectors-are-calling

Message was from James Martin - whose East Indian accent was extremely hard to understand.   Said something about tax issue and even gave me a case number.  

We have an unlisted number and am on the do-not-call list too.  

This Scam caller has called repeatedly -we do not answer. Finally we got a message from what sounds like a computer voice with heavy accent. Michael Garber even gave us a tax reference number.

I just received a call from 202-506-9461 regarding income tax investigation. The person introduced himself by Robin from IRS. He had a heavy accent. He wanted to talk to my attorney.I called back and was able to talk to woman with heavy accent as well. I believe it is a scam.

I just received a call from 202-506-9461 also, its a scam this guys name is Sam Taylor, i read on IRS web site -
and got this info:: hope this helps---

These scammers often:
•call you. But when the IRS contacts people about unpaid taxes, they do it by postal mail, not by phone
•use common names and fake IRS badge numbers
•know the last four digits of your Social Security number
•demand payment via a prepaid debit card or wire transfer. The IRS doesn’t ask for either of these payment methods, nor will they ask for credit card numbers.
•rig caller ID information to appear as if the IRS really is calling
•send fake emails that look like legitimate IRS correspondence
•make a second call claiming to be the police or department of motor vehicles, rigging the caller ID information  

To protect yourself from imposters who call, claiming to be from the IRS:
•don’t provide any account or other personal information. Hang up the phone.
•never wire money to a person or company you don’t know. Once you wire money, you can’t get it back.
•if you owe - or think you owe - federal taxes, call the IRS at 800-829-1040. IRS workers can help you with your payment questions. You also can visit the IRS website at irs.gov.
•if you’ve already paid your taxes, call and report the incident to TIGTA at 800-366-4484.
•forward emails from the IRS to phishing@irs.gov. Don’t open any attachments or click on any links in those emails.
•file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint. Include “IRS Telephone Scam" in your complaint.

Rec'd a called from this number asking for my mother.  Person stated to be David Clark calling from the IRS.  He even gave a reference # of 149625 for the call.  Called the phone number back and the voice mail stated that the person at this number is unavailable.  It is not the official IRS call center prompted greeting and automated customer message.  Also, an official IRS agent would have left their IRS employee badge number.  These fraudulent [***] who prey on hard working people need to apply their knowledge and do something positive for the common good of society.  If the "common good" is not the #1 choice, [***] OFF.

Got this call this morning. I could barely understand this person and tried to call them number back with  no success. Seems like a scam.

This guy is actively calling people. I just got a call from this number and claimed the same thing as previous post.
If he works for IRS and called me on Saturday there must be a red flag. I hung up on him, but he called back.
I tell him I don;t deal these issues over the phone and that was that.
SCAM

I received a call from 202 506 9461, regarding pending IRS investigation, sounds like a scam

I've received two calls from this number stating that I have tax problems and somebody has filed a lawsuit under my name when you call the number back the mail box is full . But when you text the number back it goes through and it doesn't come back as text to landline. The guys a complete fake

Received the same threatening call from "Sophie". Scary that people actually do this. Could not understand the thick Indian accent. I did report to TIG.

A person named David Floss (?) left a message with an extremely heavy accent from this number, claiming that he is from a litigation department and they have determined that  "there is deficiencies in your income tax" and to have "your retaining attorney contact us as soon as possible." He used all these words to scare people into calling back the number. Please be aware. SCAM.

I received a message yesterday from 202-506-9461 and had to listen to it three times to understand the guys english, never did understand the name. I attempted to call back and got the mailbox is full. He said don't disregard this message it is extremely time sensitive.  This morning I got straight through.  They said I was going to be arrested today for tax fraud due to discrepancies over the last 6 years of miscalculations.  Very scary because we did have a miscalculation, but was resolved with the IRS.  They also said they tried to send certified letters March 1 and April 9. I work from home so that was a red flag right there, I always get the mailman letters.  What are they Scamming for?

I received a call from a gentlemen with a very heavy accent could not understand anything that he said at all.  Called the number back and got a women this time also with a heavy accent and she stated that there was an legal papers with my name on it regarding the IRS and that they needed my attorney's phone number and asked me if I had received anything in the mail regarding this.  She then proceeded to ask me if I wanted her to read the document at which point I asked her to prove to me that she was indeed calling from the IRS and she hung up on me.

I got a phone call from this number; a guy named James Martin said he is from the tax investigation office calling to notify that IRS has a case against me!

Just got the call from John Smith, 202-506-9461 saying the taxes were wrong.

I received a call from a Justin at this number stating they were the tax litigation department with the IRS and my husband owes back taxes for an error done on our last years tax return. I asked him why we haven't gotten a letter in the mail from the IRS regarding this. He stated our call was being recorded and it would be used in court and that my husband needed to call that number back to settle this and then he hung up.

I just got the call, didn't catch his name, but he had heavy middle east accent.  He asked for my husband and I said he's not in and he asked if I would take his number and have him call back. I said "what is it about"  He said about our IRS payment, it was wrong and a lawsuit has been filed against him. I laughed at him and told him he was full of s*#t and he said "no don't ignore this" and I told him send it by mail, and hung up on him.   Sounds like I will hear from him again by the looks of the threads above.  Really sad that we can't stop this type of scams because some people are stupid enough to fall for this or else they wouldn't do it.
