Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 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.

I was left a message and saved it. They left a number to call back for Washington because my name was on a list for tax fraud. The number they called me from was 253-244-9511.

They said something about tax fraud and when i questioned then they hung up on me

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.

I just got a call from this number saying I was being charged with tax fraud and I needed a criminal attorney. I asked to speak to a supervisor the guy identified himself as inspector John Wilson . They told me I had to pay $3800.00 or spend the next 7 days in jail until I got go before a judge and get it straightened out,and I would be arrested within two hours. He also told me all my assets were frozen and if I had a passport it would be confiscated. I hung up the phone and called back they answered, I told him I had a special needs child and could not take care of the situation right then.  The man told me he would speak to his supervisors and return my call within an hour. We all know that of course they didn't I can only imagine what would have happened if I believed them, and had not goggled the number while I was talking to the guy.

Called and asked for my wife.  Hung up when I asked who was calling.  Said IRS before hanging up

Called asking for $3900 via money gram and said my assets were frozen and I would be arrested in 2 hours if I did not comply. Would not let me get off the phone until it was done. I had a friend get on the phone with him and ask who he was. He refused to identify himself and hung up on us. He called back asking for me and when my friend said I was unavailable he hung up and has not called back.
