I received a call from this number (202-459-6029) claiming that they are from Criminal Investigation Department and that I have some serious issues to calm back as soon as possible.
I called thr number, some someone by the name James Anderson answered the call and was asking for me personal information. Of course, I refused and when I asked him to provide the physical location of the business he hanged the phone.
To everyone, please be careful that there is a major scam going on. I hope that these fake ppl are caught and brought to justice to Harrassment and casuing panic attack.
Got a call from this number claiming that he is Officer Jackson & asking for my husband as there is a criminal investigation going on my husband for tax evasion. When I said that send me the mail first, he said he already sent 3 times mails to my address. When I asked him what address, he tells my old address where we used to stay 2 years back. He told me to tell my husband to call him to his number & I told him we will directly call IRS number & talk to them. He immediately disconnected the phone saying as you wish.
There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers in both Canada and the USA.
USA tax payers should read this:

Note particularly the links at that site, warning of the scam!
A shorter explanation is Scam #11, as shown at

That site also shows how other 800notes visitors have reduced the number of telephone scams and telemarketing calls they receive. (That site also has a link to Amazon's phone blocker devices and apps, as well as a page showing various government sites that accept complaints or warn about scams.)
