202-506-9461

I received two phone voicemails the past week from 202-506-9461, obviously even with all the complaints filed and it is a known scam, nothing has been done about it since that number is still being used.
The caller had a very heavy accent and referenced a tax issue that needed immediate attention.

Robbie Ray called me asking for my attorney for a case against me. I stated that the IRS always send mail of actions against me. I ask for another paper to be sent. He said only one can be sent, in his heavy foreign accent. I asked who in IRS can I call. He said Michael Carter at 202-506-9461. I'm sure this is a fake and this web site confirms it. I always pay on time and in full so this phone call was suspect from the beginning. Arrest me if you can.

There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers on both Canadian and USA residents.
USA tax payers should read this:

Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.

Thank you, Slim. I've heard of these in the news.

Received a call from a man that claimed that they were coming to arrest me for unpaid taxes and that I needed to contact a criminal lawyer and if I couldn't make bail, I would have to stay in jail for 5 years. I am currently involved with an audit so I thought it had something to do with that.  Scared me to death!  I went to my accountant and he said it was a scam. Looked the number up and sure enough. The man on the phone had an Indian accent.

I got a call from a guy claiming that I owe the IRS $6,182 and that a warrant have been issued for my arrest. he was asking for my attorneys information and saying that I was  going to be arrested and going to court. and that if I went to court I would owe over $15,000. I immediately called the IRS and reported the number

Received a scam call from 202 506-9461 claiming there would be legal action from the IRS  if I didn't comply with ID etc information. Sounded official and if course a scam!  These can be upsetting.

I go the same call, it was a recording so like everyone else I googled it. It was a women, don't remember her name. thanks.

this number called me and left a message to return call. I called got a recording came to this site and see many others have as well. I will not be answer any calls from this number again

I get same calls few times per week. I always respond "come in and collect the money". They hang up.:-)

I got same call ..a woman .  Scared   me  quite   alot. Then I  relized it was a scam. I called and left a message  for her never to call my home  again. Thanks  for   verifying.  This   is    a scam.

I got the same call like other people, as matter of fact, he has called me three times in the past.  He has a very heavy accent and I have to listen 5 times in order to understand what he tried to say.

Got a call from them today demanding my attorneys name and number...they said that I was being charged with  tax fraud and that I owed the irs $6,000 dollars and that if I didn't pay it ..that it would go to court and then I would owe $13,000. I asked them why I never got a letter. And they said they sent me two certified letters that I failed to pick up... Scam scam scam! I gave them my local sheriffs depts number and said call them...they're my attorney. The guy had a thick accent...he was so hard to understand. Even gave me a fake account number to reference to when I called back.

I got same calls several times from 202-506-9461 and 2022417029 I could not understand anything that he said at all some John smith I think ...and am going to be in jail by end of the day for some fraud I called sheriff department and even filed a complain 2 times https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/Getting ... 26panel1-8#crnt I printed my report and got it on my records.

An ass*le with an Indian accent picked up the phone claiming he was with IRS. I think they got the name from the wireless phone companies. I asked him to prove he is with IRS, he said " you will get a call this evening", I said" go to hell"

Same scam but new name. The guy's name was Officer Shaw or something in August. His name is Officer Smith now. This is the third time we got the IRS and jail threat from. It sounds like a machine generated message with my husband's name inserted into it. The first and today's had Indian / Pakistani / Middle Eastern accent, the second voice mail had no accent. We just ordered our Panasonic calling blocking phone. This number is going to the block list.

sam taylor keeps calling regarding tax litigation.  1-202-506-9461
Threatening , thick  Indian accent for an American name. Can hardly understand.  Know it's a scam- just annoying and makes you feel very uncomfortable.  

Sam Taylor 202-506-9461

I suspect he is Indian with his heavy accent tho I could understand him as he slowly enunciated every word. Please call back or with your attorney of record to his hotline at the Tax Litigation Dept. no mention of IRS. Don't try to disregard this message.

Has anyone actually answered the call or call back to find out the real deal? Curious...

Yes, a lot of people. These people are hard core Indian scammer/extortionists.  The real deal is the are impersonating the IRS .  I fyou call back they will start  telling you that you are about to suffer all sorts of legal pain and deprivation, that you will be imprisoned and that local authorities will be coming in about half an hour to arrest you for some tax error or another.  

However, if you will just send them some money by Green dot money pak (which is untraceable) the whole thing will magically go away.

And that's the real deal.

Don't call them back.  Block their calls.  

These calls are not random.  They have all your financial information and a lot of personal information.  They pick on women, single mothers, the elderly and members of the immigrant community.  And anybody else the think is vulnerable.

If you call them back up and they sense any vulnerability they will start hammering you with calls.
