Called my home number and I missed call. The message that was left by a female recording said, the reason for this call is that the IRS is filing a law suit against you. To get more information about this case file, please immediately call our dept @ 202-684-6848. Thank you.
I just received this phony IRS call from 202-684-6848. What caused me to even pick up the phone was that I recognized it as a Washington DC area code since I've lived and worked in the area for over 40 years. It too was a robo-call with a female voice.
Received the call twice in one day. Picked up the first time, but did not call the number back. The second time there was a voicemail left by the robo female. I've now blocked the caller.
Recieved three calls from 202-684-6848. The first time was a hang up, then they left a message and the last time I answered it - without looking at the number first and got a robo call. I thought it sounded fishy...I mean why would the IRS call me directly about a lawsuit? Plus, we have a tax attorney and if we had issues, I think we would have heard from him first.
Anyway, the first thing I did was a google search and came across this site. Next - for fun- I called the number back and got Officer Nathan Brown - RM919776. He did have a heavy Indian accent and told me that I owed taxes for 2008-2014. According to "Officer Brown," I owed 35,000 dollars. A warrant was out for my arrest, my bank funds would be seized, my license would be revoked, and I could face federal imprisonment. He provided my old address (which the IRS would have my new address since we've been there for at least two years), and told me the sherriff would be coming there now that I've been notified of my debt. What did I want to do to resolve this issue. I asked, "what are my options?" He said, "don't worry, I'll walk you through the process." So again I asked, "what are my options." He said, "do you have $35,000?" I told him NO. He said so can you pay anything on this debt to the IRS? I said no, I will have my attorney contact the IRS about this call. He hung up.
I feel sorry for any elderly or naive people that may get this call and try to pay these criminals. I've warned my grandparents, parents and in-laws. And I will be reporting them.
