So, you were so enthused about that "legit" number, that you decided to post it on a site primarily concerned with phone COMPLAINTS?

If that is a "real" number, and a "real" person,
* what is their "real" name?
* What is their office address?
* Why do you say they are "THE" federal attorney, as if there was only one?

Conclusion:
Proactive spam, about a fake 202 phone number, possibly setting something up for a "you owe the IRS money" scam.

AHA!
I thought so ... the IRS scammer strikes, even while I was typing a response.

There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers in both Canada and the USA.
USA tax payers should read this:
http://www.irs.gov/uac/Tax-Scams-Consumer-Alerts
Note particularly the links at that site, warning of the scam!

So Julia says the fake post is from India. Did the IRS open a branch office? Yet another drop out from school turned criminal.

"they are the federal attorney"    They are?  Holy Vishnu, instead of scamming, why don't you improve your English language skills?  Personally I like  Salman Rushdie.  Do  you?

Bob:

You are quite the idiot.  I just *67 the number from a work number, it is not a working number, and you knew that.  But I liked how you changed your name from Pratica (or whatever) to Bob.  Oh, and BTW for everyone out there, I did have a minor issue with my tax return due to Turbo Tax. ( a pin number wrong.) I received a snail mail letter from the legit IRS. Called the IRS and they said, and I repeat---THE IRS WILL NEVER CALL YOU.   THEY ALWAYS SEND A LETTER.  If that does not get your attention, the representative told me, the letter would be sent certified next time.  She told me never take a call from anyone who claims they are the IRS.

Not! Give it up shilly! Enjoy the nice pretty shiny red busted stamps!

This is a scam! Do not send these frauds any money!  They are too lazy to go out and get a real job but dont mind scamming people out of their hard earned money.  Cockroaches of society , is what they are.  

The fact is that the IRS doesn't call people.

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

I am aware of the scam and that is why I stated that the IRS doesn't call people.
