Received a call from 202-808-3727 from a scammer pretending to be an IRS agent. This is the 2nd time we have gotten a call like this. I do not call back, but I have heard they ask for payment of money due over the phone to avoid a lawsuit by the IRS. The message they leave does not include your name or any of your info, they are just phishing,
The caller that called at 528 PM said good morning this is Brian Jefferson, he had an accent and left a voicemail stating that he was from the IRS Tax Holding department and was to notify that a Legal Petition was filed in my name and social security number. He then stated a law suit would be filed today and to call to call 202808 3727. He never stated our names but stated that an IRS warrant would be issued. Phone Scam

A Mike Brown (then later says his name is Jefferson) calls from IRS and states that there is a legal issue under your ssn# regarding a federal tax claim lawsuit. Also states there is a warrant for your arrest for criminal allegations. A lot of static is on the line to where you can hear the guy.
