This number has placed repeated calls to my home number stating that we have 30 days to respond to a law suit for tax evasion.  I finally answered the call and asked them to mail me something.  They promptly hang up.  But then called again an hour later--- same man with heavy middle Eastern accent. I accused him of fraud and he hung up.

Today I got 3 calls from this number with the annoying IRS scam and it woke me up twice.  I am sick of this.  Why can't someone stop it?

It is going to take a village to shut down these scams. You can do your part by reporting them to the appropriate agency:

There are numerous telephone and email scams in which individuals claim to be employees of the Treasury Department. These scammers often state that they are from the “Department of Legal Affairs,” offer grant money in exchange for you wiring a small payment, or threaten to arrest you within a short period of time unless payment is made. Do not provide personal information or payment to these individuals.  Their actions are crimes under Titles 18 and 31 of the United States Code, and the Treasury Office of Inspector General is working to stop them.

If they claim to be from Treasury, report  it to [email protected] with a description.  If it was a phone contact, include:
the exact date and time that you received the call(s)
the phone number of the caller
the geographic location and time zone where you received the call
a description of the communication.

If they claim to be from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or it is about taxes, report it to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at:
