202-241-1344 The caller ID name said WASHINGTON DC. My daughter picked up the phone and when the guy said he is from the IRS and wanted to speak to her husband, she said You have the wrong number and hung up. These people have called us before from a different phone number saying they want to arrest my husband. About 5 minutes later the same number called and I picked up the phone, ready to argue with whoever it was. I said hello, hello, but they did not speak. I said DON"T CALL ME AGAIN, and then a woman's voice said Goodbye.

This a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for this.

The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone. Report it also to your local law enforcement agency. The scammers use voice over IP lines (e.g. magicjack (Ymax corporation)). This is against these companys' terms of use and can lead to termination of their contract. However only law enforcement can initiate the contact if you yourself are not a customer. Ultimately this is a case for the FBI legal attache in Islamabad or New Delhi. If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction (and the NSA can finally be a force for good).
I just got one of those phone calls saying I'm going to be arrested with in the next 3 hours and it did sound strange.. He said his name was Steve Anderson on my voicemail.
Annoyed
Same scammers that called earlier today from different number. Their scam is they say they are IRS and you owe money & will be arrested, but THEY can help you. Tell them whatever you want. They are bilking innocent people.
