Callersl are located in India and Pakistan. There is nothing
the US can do and the local governments do little. Invest
in a call blocker and do NOT pick up on call numbers
you do not recognize.
Anyone hit by these IRS scams should consider blocking the following area codes:
206 253 360 425 509 564 also are code 202. The stupid scammers don't understand the difference between Washington State and Washington DC. They think that the people they call will think that the Washington State area code calls come from Washington DC.
I got a call yesterday, guy told me he was from the IRS, gave me "his name" and a badge number and "my case number". Told me that I owed the IRS $4800 and they were sending a cop to come arrest me as soon as I got off the phone. When I asked what I did, they gave me nothing, but me though to "super visor" and this guy just started screaming at. This morning I got a call from this number saying that the IRS was pressing charges against me. Called the IRS and it's all BS! They said the IRS will always send a letter first. But the call was scary because they never asked to money, so I wanted to believe them.
