301-357-8827

We got a call this morning from this number. The caller left a long voice message in very broken English. Her accent so bad that Comcast voice mail could not accurately record the message. I got something about legal department and they only asked for someone by first name. It also sounded like there was something about labor bartor or legal bartor. If this was a legit call why isn't someone calling that can be clearly understood? I am so frigging sick and tired of BS phone calls If they were legit the caller ID would have their business name. I think this is just another phone scam , just one in the jillion or so out there. We are both disabled, my husband in particular is a disabled Veteran and all our sources of income are un collectable under the law. Besides we have no business dealings in Maryland.

Listened to the phone message a couple times trying to understand what the person said on the voice message. She has "very" poor English and from something she said I am pretty sure this call is bogus and may originate overseas even though it has a Maryland prefix supposedly. She referred to "wage labor barter". Nobody in this country refers to wage issues as bartering. We won't call this number back. It's either a wrong number or more likely nothing more than a scam.

Received about twenty calls in a row from this number.  The caller identified as David ID No.:  11498-from Dept of Legal Affairs.  If you call back the number, you only receive a voice message.  I left two messages informing Mr. David that not only am I aware of the scam he is trying so hard to pull on my 20 year old daughter but the internet is well aware.  What I cannot understand is how people get away with this????????????????????????????????????????? ONLY IN AMERICA.

I received around 10 miss calls today!,!!! Don't pick up the phone!!!!!!! I hope they don't get to my saving acc.

Just got a phone call from "Department of Legal Affairs" for the IRS, stating I am going to jail for 6 months for not paying my $11,000 in taxes.  I've NEVER made enough in my life to even qualify to file taxes (under $10,5/yr), so I FREAKED out.  Upon discussing it with my roommate, called back, answered different name, "David William" answered, did not ask my name, SSN, anything, said "hi Zach".  He demanded I pay $1,000 to stop the police from coming and picking me up.  I said IF your the IRS, you can get into my bank w/o my information, he said "I'm calling the police", I said "so am I" hung up and dialed the local police, to file a report.

the thing is, 1) i've never made enough $$ to even file, or ever had taxes taken out, I work for dialed company (I'm disabled) 2) if the IRS wanted my bank info they can get it on their own w/o me.  3) they did not verify ANY info besides telling me who they work for, refused to give address or any verifiable information.  don't freak out folks, its a scam!

In the first place, this is not how the IRS operates. They don't call you. You get a letter. Depending if there is more than one tax year involved you can get multiple letters. Some will even be sent certified. IRS is not going to call out of the blue. I noticed on my Comcast Voice that we actually had 10 missed calls from this number. I have not received any since because I have blocked the number. Interesting you got a call from someone calling them self David, our call was some lady with accent so thick and as I said before with some of the terms she used that we were able to pick up I think she could even be calling from outside the states. You take a real chance calling back these numbers. I've seen posts where people have been charged $20.00 on their phone bill for the privilege of calling them back. This is an out and out scam and there is a lot of scams going on with people using IRS. They are not the IRS. They won't call you. First you get mail then it's up to you to call the IRS. These people are so frigging stupid. I just hope they don't sucker people in. Another scam to beware of is on the internet. My husband has had his computer locked up with a official looking logo, says it's the government and you have to send large amounts of money using a money card only. The government won't operate that way. You get something like that on your computer, do a system restore to get rid of it and move on. Do not ever send anybody any money. These are illegal scams and they try anything and everything. They are not the government and have no government affiliation.

I got the phone call from these guys today! Let me tell you I was FREAKED out!! However I had my mom with me and she didn't freak out like I did. They told me that they were from the department of legal affairs and needed to speak with me about a legal matter.So not knowing what the issue was I called back and spoke with a man who sounded Indian and he informed me that there was a warrant on me for tax fraud for 2010 and that I could go get a lawyer or go to jail.SO naturally I ask him what to do to take care of the matter. He told me that I could mail a check for 1700$ to DC and that this was the only way to pay the IRS. His mistake was not doing his research before calling me. I have had to pay the IRS money with in the last 1 year period so I knew that I could pay online or I could pay by check or money order. I also ask him for the docket number for the case and he hung up on me

Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.

Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.

Got the phone call just now from 301-357-8827 telling me legal action was being taken agaist me and that I needed to call someone. When I said I did not want to call anyone he said that legal action would be used agaist me then and hung up.  Calling the number back David Williams picked up from Legal Affairs and when I asked for his badge number he said "who the hell are you to ask me for that" and hung up on me.

I reported this to the Maryland police. They should be able to find out to whom this number belongs and who gets the bill. If these people are in the US, tgry need to be deported.

II ALSO RECEIVED A MESSAGE AND WHEN THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO ARREST ME I CALLED THE POLICE MY SELF AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE BE CAREFUL

Woman who spoke VERY poor English asked for me by name.  She then identified herself as a agent with the US Treasury and was calling about the lawsuit against me.  When I asked what the heck she was talking about, she stated her supervisor had authorized her to accept payment over the phone from me and the lawsuit would be dropped.  As far as I know, no one has filed a lawsuit against me and she refused to elaborate about this alleged lawsuit.  Now......does she REALLY think I am that stupid?  I "politely" told her to put her phone in a place where the sun doesn't shine.

They are Indian scammer/extortionists.   As such they are beyond the reach of US law.

Got the call today from a male who was yelling in a foreign language called twice in a row then left a voicemail that couldnt be understood teyed calling back and it hangs up automatically.
