Today, I received a call from 202 241 0697 stating that an arrest warrent was issued on my name and to call him back for more info. It was really hard to understand the guy. He had an indian accent and it was really noisy in the background. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and letting us know that there is a scam coming from this phone nr.
Received same type of call, similar content. I have been on several web sites documenting calls from these people. I can't believe there is nothing that can be done to stop this. It's scary to get this kind of call until you look on the internet and see that many people have reported it and that it is a scam. Anyone know who to contact to report this to who might actually do something about it.
Your supposed to report it to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484. And also you can file with the FTC:
Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.
You should make a report. But as a practical matter, nothing much can be done since the perpetrators are in India. The technology exists to stop these people but our government in Washington has other things to do that apparently have a higher priority.
