I got the same call many times but he claimed to be an officer of the IRS. Being a retired officer, I gave him a piece of my mind. This is the number he called me from 202 241-6854, this is a magic jack number so I think we owe it to Magic Jack to know what is going on.
This happened once before from another number. When he called today, I just picked up and didn't say anything for a minute, then said "don't call here again" because I get a lot of telemarketing calls. Then, he called again and didn't leave a message. When I called back to tell him again not to call me, the voice mail said it was such and such from DEA Investigations. These people are pretty good at scaring you. Last time they really scared us but didn't ask for money, which surprised me. That made it seem more legitimate. They said there would be agents at our door with a search warrant and a warrant for my arrest in 10 minutes, and that we should get a lawyer. But I did call the DEA and they said that it was a scam, and to ignore the calls. Among other things, they said that if the DEA were planning to search our place, they wouldn't warn us ahead of time :-) I also called the local police and found out that there were no warrants in my name.
I hate these people.
It wasn't this number but a foreigner calling from 19168729423 claiming to be US treasury department as David Miller badge number 10129 and also as officer Keith Nelson department of legal affairs...
Received a call (went to voice mail) from 202-239-8343. Listened to voice mail -- said internal revenue service has placed an arrest warrant in my name for trying to defraud the federal government. For more information to return the call. Did so --- reached a man with an Indian (from India) accent. He recited my previous mailing address (10 years ago) but with an incorrect apartment number. Meanwhile I'd googled the telephone number and reached a site with many alerts regarding "phone scams" from this telephone number. Frightening and unnerving to receive this kind of a message. Angering, too.
This man stated he is from the IRS and is investigating a fraud that I committed to the IRS and this is a final attempt to contact me. He called twice within a hour. Well I hope that's it as I refuse to call back this is a scam. The number he called from is 202-239-8343
