202-629-9097

Beware of recorded call from Phone # 274-309-5430 stating that you are being sued by the I.R.S. and to call 202-629-9097 immediately for more info and the case number. This such call is good reason to demand from our elected officials to change the phone caller ID laws so that you have caller ID 100% of the time on a phone YOU pay for. Cal and write them and demand it.

I just received the same message. I guess I just need to change my number every few years. Pain in the ass scammers.

Confirmed fraud attempt (IRS script). This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.

As general background information, here are a few things you can do:
1) Report it to TIGTA under http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml especially if you have become a victim (lost money, gave personal information etc.). You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint (include “IRS Telephone Scam" in your complaint). This way you can also help the government establish specific fraud patterns.

2) Help kill their phone lines but not by calling them back directly (the number may be spoofed and repeat calls by you may - under exceptional circumstances- amount to harassment). The scammers use Voice over IP lines (e.g. magicJack (Ymax corporation)) to make it seem as if they are calling from the US. This is always against these companys' terms of service and can lead to immediate termination of their contract and blocking of their IP addresses for future attempts to register. Do a reverse look up of their telephone number (e.g. www.whitepages.com) to identify the Voice over IP provider and report it to the company and/or law enforcement (local police and/or state attorney general)

3) 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 provide US law enforcement agencies with the political backing and the resources they need to work in India and Pakistan together with local authorities (it can happen, read: http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ex-call-cen ... mmission-320427). A US task force has already been set up in Jamaica to nab scammers there (see http://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/library/reports/cornerstone/cornerstone7-1.pdf).

claiming to be the IRS. got my wife upset!!

This happened to me this morning..this is beyond ridiculous. Can't wait until they call back. Any advice on what to say when they keep calling?

202-629-9097 USED AN AUTODIALER TO CALL MY HOME ON 10/6/2014 AT 06:01 AM, LEAVING A BOGUS MESSAGE THAT I SHOULD CALL  INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICES BC THIS WOULD BE THE LAST CALL BEFORE THEY FILE SUIT AGAINST ME - I CALLED THE NUMBER, EAGER TO INFORM A LIVE PERSON OF THE MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS OF THE FEDERAL FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT - BUT ALL I GOT WAS ANOTHER RECORDING
.  I LEFT A MESSAGE TELLING THEM TO REMOVE MY NUMBER ASAP..AT 5:45AM ON 10.7.14 ANOTHER AUTO CALL/MSG.

Received a call at 6a this morning, saying it would be the last call I received before the IRS filed a lawsuit against me!  Attempted to call the number but again, it was another recording!  Will figure out how to block this number and report it!  TOTAL [***] SCAM!

The Indian/[***] guy called me this morning at 6am as well with same scam.  He hung up on me twice when I called BS on this scam.

This 202 629-9097 called 10/6 at 11:26 and 10/7 at 10:13 left identical messages IRS filing law suit. Threatened this would be final call before initiating suit. Don't I wish it were!!!

Used a Halo Wireless phone number, 254-302-5030, to robocall with their "Internal Revenue Services" scam but referenced this 202 number as the one to call back.

There is such a law.  It's the Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009.  Remember, though, that we're dealing with criminals who are already breaking the law, so don't expect them to bother with this one.

Do bank robbers stop at red lights?

BEWARE! THIS IS A SCAM! HUNDREDS HAVE BEEN SCAMMED OUT OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! THIS IS FROM OUT OF COUNTRY OR WITHIN USING COMPUTER BASED SOFTWARE OR PHONE SOFTWARE LIKD MAGIK JACK...IT WAS ON THE NEWS HOW MULTI-MILLIONS HAVE BEEN PAID TO THESE SCAMMERS!  DO NOT ANSWER THEM OR RETURN THEIR CALLS! I HAVE FRIENDS WHO WORK FOR THE I.R.S. AND THE IRS DOES NOT MAKE PHONE CALLS! DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!

Got a call on 10/6 at 5:34 AM PDST claiming to be the IRS and again on 10/7 at 5:39 AM PDST with the same message.  Dis a reverse on the 202-629-9097 number totally bogus.  Why can't the no call list block these types of calls?

The Do Not Call list is not a blocking service.  It is a list of numbers that registered telemarketers selling goods or services or qualifying you as a sales prospect for a third party purchase to screen numbers against before calling.  Scammers are not going to register and pay for the list and unless the scam involves selling you something, it is not covered anyway.

Left a message at 8:45 pm on my spouses cell phone. I Called the next day from my cell phone and an Indian man answered. I asked for his name, and he said I too quickly so that I didn't understand it. I asked again, and he said Officer Jason Miller. He then asked me for what number received the call. That set off alarms in my mind. I asked if he had a badge number or identifying number from the IRS. He hung up on me. It was a SCAM.
