IRS SCAM caller targeting mostly immigrants. Don't Panic.
Voice mail Sounded like Vietnamese or Thai or that region. If you respond, they even spoof another call using local law enforcement number to dupe you. Don't Panic.

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 always 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 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).
This idiot has called me on my cell phone at least 6 times. When I yell at him and hang up he just calls me back and yells back at me. He of course claims to be from the IRS. I sure hope they catch this
SOB.
Number he calls from is 202-864-1181
