202-738-1500

Received call from this number last week..Sounded like a female with Indian accent claiming to be from the IRS. She left message stating it was an urgent matter and I needed to call back right away.  Of course I never did. I immediately Google the area code and see it's a scam number!

I received a call from a 202_738_1500 and told me she was from the irs and I owed 2000 dollars and they was gonna issue a warrant today if i didn't pay and she knew my mailing address and name and how to spell it with a heavy Indian accent...

Also recieved call she hung up when alI called her bluff.

i received a call 10 minutes ago same as you it was an Indian lady saying she was from the IRS and needed to speak with me regarding a criminal issue. I figured it was a scam. My caller ID said Washington DC so I put the number into my white page app and the number is actually from Hyattsville, MD.

Received an call from this number claiming she was from the IRS . I called back she then claimed to be looking for Pamela Jackson !

Said they were the irs. Owed money from years ago. Questioned them , they hung up

female...from IRS  regarinmg criminal activity   Call immediately

I just received that exact call.  A female with an Indian accent claiming there was a criminal investigation with the IRS.  Has anyone reported it?  I'm going to look into this.  I'd hate for someone actually believing these people and being scammed.

Thousands have been scammed with millions extorted. Read on:

These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement.

If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.

It's a phone scam.In fact, it tops the IRS "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams this year, and it's been surging in recent months, the agency said Thursday.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, has received reports of 290,000 scam calls since October 2013 and said nearly 3,000 victims have been swindled out of $14 million so far.

By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.

Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.

They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.

Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.

The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.

If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.

This number is one of many I get, it becoming a royal pain in the [***].   I never answer them, I only answer calls from people I know.  I get these calls on my landline also my cell everyday and several times a day.  These people need to get a real job and stop trying to scam people.  They try to collect uncollected debts, tell you that the government want to give you a grant free and you don't have to pay it back (really) I had talked to one of these scammers and asked them, what government do they work for because our government doesn't have money to give away, I asked one of the scammers why are you doing this when they know it illegal, his answer was to make money, (UNBELIEVABLE), then they hung up.  For people who don't know, the statue of limitations in Ca. is 4 years for uncollected debt after that they can never collect, that's why they keep calling, to see if you will sent them money, don't ever send them money because once you do that starts the statue of limitation all over again, even if they tell you they will settle for a small portion of it, once you send a payment then they can collect the whole debt.  Read it for yourself, type in your goggle statue of limitation in Ca, and read it for yourself, each state may be different, remember if the statue of limitation is up, never send them money, and even if it isn't let them try to sue first, you can always settle it.  Also if they tell you there the IRS, it's a scam.  The IRS will never call you and ask for money, they will contact you by a formal IRS letter only.  My best advise is answer only number you know, and maybe someday theses scammers will find a real job.....Remember nothing is free, they may tell you that you won something and ask for your SSN or credit card, never, never give that information out.  Don't be frighten by these scum bucket scammers, they should all end up in prison.

I got a call from another 202 number referring me to call 202-738-1500, saying I was entitled to Grant money. reason I was told was 1-i paid my us taxes a and 2- I don't have a criminal record. I called to further investigate and a woman with an Indian accent answered asking for money to get my money lol!! total scam... Even if you need money desperately please don't fall for this scam!!
