Got a call from 202-241-9814. When I asked who is calling a guy with a heavy accent start to yell something nonsensical about an investigation and criminals. It seems they try to find old people, scare them and try to get their personal info. FBI probably have to start to take care of such things.

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).
