202-793-8670

Said I am being sued by the IRS and call this number immediately.  Haven't called to find out if it is a fake or not.

Read this for yourself and decide whether or not it is fake:

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

a message was left saying this was a final call from the IRS...leaving this as the call back number. The call originated from 935-565-3621...

I got a call saying that they have been trying to reach me and that this is the final notification. They state that the IRS is suing me and that I need to call 202-793-8670 immediatly. This is a scam.
I am afraid for people who don't know to check it out online. It scared me and made me think.  If the IRS were suing you, that LAST thing they would do is call you, they would send snail mail or registered mail, NEVER phone calls.

IRS SCAM!    On 01/22/2015 @ 9:58 am  I received scam call from #930-568-3681 instructing to call #202-793-8670.  The female voice recording stated that "this call is officially a final notice from the IRS"..... that IRS is filing law suit against me (this 'official' recording left out 'a' in the sentence). The recording then gave instructions to "immediately" call "The Department at 202-793-8670 to get more information on the "Case Number".  

Same as the others IRS claiming its the final call that i am being sued. Call 202 793 8670. IRS has a place to report also, maybe enough and they can shut them down.

I got a call from 202-793-8670 saying that I was being sued by the irs this is a scam

Scam caller left voice mail claiming to be from IRS and threatening lawsuit.  Message said to call 202-793-8670.  The web site MyCallBot.com associated this phone number with the tag "IRS" and then referenced B2B Collection Agency Baltimore Credit & Collection Services (bccs2.com) and Matthews, Pierce and Lloyd, Inc. (mpli.net).

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

Just got a call from "IRS" 202 793-8670. Everybody watch your backs. I feel for seniors that get this call and fall into this trap. Thank you
