Who called from 2028008440

I am in New York.  Someone called my parents from Wash DC, claimed they were from "... something ... Department of Crime Investigation" and demanded to pay a fine or they will be deported from the country.  Called himself Jack Marshal ID 531977, please call back 202 800 8440.  

Similar call a few weeks ago from 202 754 8077 "Mathew Jenkins".

Numbers busy if you try calling them.

I did get the same call, person claimed as 'Michael Black' and I was involved with some federal crime case, I requested them to provide more details by mail and he said it is such an urgent situation that Officers would be descpatched if I dont take timely action. I said that is fine, I am ready.. and he hung up. I tried to call them back and the person was in Rush to hang the phone, he said officers were dispatched and would meet with me and provided an incorrect address.

I got a call from 206 708 2849 and he (identified himself as Roger Gibson) left a message to call back at 202 800 8440. I called back and someone named Kevin said he is a supervisor for Roger and said that I didn't file form 61 with IRS in 2010, now there is a federal action against me. I told him that I haven't received any communication from IRS about that form, so will go to the local office and talk to them. He said it is too late as the complaint already reached their department. Two options are  to settle a deal with their office OR face an arrest. I chose 2nd option and he said good luck :). I know it is a scam. Also it is not Indian accent. It could be Chinese or some other Asian accent.

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to [email protected].

Received a similar call from an Indian Officer Wilson stating that there was a criminal IRS complaint against my name and identity, saying that if I didn't call back we would be in great legal trouble!
