2025069563

These [***] called us. I would like to send a hellfire up their ass.

Scam...refused to pick up when I enquired about the division and what their function is.

Someone using the number 202 506 9563 threatened my wife saying they would come to our home and arrest her if she didn't pay them $35,000. They claimed to be agents of the IRS. We reported the issue to the FBI, the Treasury Dept., and to the FTC.  We also called our local police who told us to call 911 should anyone approach our home following this call. These bozos will be met with deadly force by local law enforcement if they come anywhere near our home.

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 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

They may be getting the potential victim's phone numbers from resumes posted on career sites like monster.com.  The incoming call came to my wife from a New York Area code number 212-751-3463.   Possibly could have hacked into some  IRS info over in India since they outsourced some tax processing over there.

This is all BS - IRS would NEVER call about something as serious as they state it to be - you would always get the complaint or unresolved issues via mail.    As for police coming, they are idiots, you would be served by a court officer in person not via a phone call.   I have been calling them back pleading not to take me away and then after a few more pleads, I tell them to go fk themselves and a few other nice expletives.    Figured if they want to waste my time, I will certainly waste theirs...

How do they get away with this??? They said that the FBI and the IRS would come by and arrest me at my home unless I complied.

They have auto dialers that call.

I just received a call from this number and called it back to inform them that I know they are a scam and to stop calling me. After trying to get the guy on the phone to give me his name and who he worked for, he started using very explicit sexual language with me. Talk about creepy and disgusting. How do you report them?

Got two messages left on my answering machine today. One this morning from Ivory Bush, caller ID number 202-506-8227, and a second one this evening from Jalpa Jabel, with number 202-506-9563. Both left similar messages saying the IRS was trying to reach me regarding a law suit. they said this was my last chance to call before they took action. I don't respond to calls like this, so the ball is in their court, wherever their court is located. The area code implies Washington D. C., but it is probably from the other side of the world. These guys are scammers and phishers trying to get your money or personal information for illegal purposes.
