We received calls from area code, 415, 509 and 202 with this IRS scam. The voice mail was in American from 415 area code and Chinese accent on the 509 area code caller. I called one back, and the accent changed to Arab, Pakistani, Indian or Indonesian - hard to tell. This is clearly a well financed, organized gang operating from many numbers.
This may be a Muslim terrorist network raising funds. I hope our homeland security team gets on top of this. They should disconnect these numbers from the national network, just like phone companies will disconnect your number if you don't pay your bill. Meanwhile, my fellow Americans, do not fall for the IRS scam and fund the terrorists. Just ignore them.
Called 9/12, left a message. First part of the message was cut off, but the second part said "I repeat 202-506-8210, don't disregard this message before we take any legal actions against you." Called spoke clear English but with an Indian accent.
Yes, that's not a typo: they called from one number, but requested I call back to another. I'm not calling back: regardless of who they are, they can speak to my attorney if they want to take 'legal action'.
Got call about the same time today. Scratched my head that somebody from out of state is calling because of legal action and leaving a message. My phone didn't even ring or any missed call. Just a voicemail all of a sudden. Sounds like a scam.
Got a call at 202-241-8210 and they left a VM asking me to call 202-506-8210. The Caller was speaking clear English and spoke with an Indian/Pakistani accent. I called them and they got cut, they also used the number 408-506-8210 for calling me back. The 202-241-8210 and 202-506-8210 are numbers registered with YMax Communication and are essentially numbers provided by Magic Jack.
My only worry is that if these calls are originating from that region, it could very well be possible that the money that they collect thru this fraud could be used for funding illegal activities all around the world
If you get robocall debt collectors they are breaking federal consumer protection laws and you do have recourse. Simply record the number of times they call you, better yet, keep a record of your phone bill or caller I'd, show that you tried to call them to stop, and you can collect up to $500 for each of their calls. Just keep a good paper trail and find a consumer credit lawyer online who is willing to work for you on a contingency. There are a lot of them out there and they can do the job very well in your favor. They worked for me, thus why I can't give specifics due to the specifics of my settlement, but let's just say that it worked out very $well. Don't be a victim of debt collector abuses, you can make them work in your favor!
