got a recorded message saying that this was the last attempt before the IRS sues me (wish it was the last attempt as this is the third time they claim that and it is a robot voice not a human) they say to call 202-864-1278 but when i did a star 69 on it the number that comes up is actually 518-407-5980 total crooks
I received a call from someone who sounded Indian and requested to speak to my granddaughter. Upon digging into it he stated it was regarding a Us Treasury tax which she owed. He provided this number as the contact, Daniel Rich, Investigator. The number doesn't ring, I believe this is a rip off type call.
This is an India or Pakistan based IRS scam. Do not fall for this. Read

The IRS does not initiate any legal action over the phone. Report it also to your local law enforcement agency. The scammers use magicjack (Ymax corporation) voice over IP lines. This is against this company's terms of use and can lead to termination of their contract. However only law enforcement can initiate the contact with Ymax. Ultimately this is a case for the FBI legal attache in Delhi or Islamabad. 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).
I just got a call and he made me stay on the phone for 45 mins and said i couldn't hang up or i would go to jail. He told me to go to stop and shop to get a tax pay voucherI, stop & shop said no such thing exists, so then told him i was driving to the police station now and we could both talk to the police to see who was going to jail, me or him, this is total fraud. Then this guy had a fake 911 call from fake cop who gave a badge#, when I asked him which police station he was calling from he hung up, FRAUD FRAUD
Got this call this morning... relentless.
I finally picked up and he said my tax dealings have been sent from the IRS to The US Department of Treasury.
Complete scam... wanted $9k from back unpaid taxes via an offer and compromise. Having a strong legal back round, I started to "play" with this guy, who said if I do not act on this during his call that it would trigger a warrant for my arrest, contact the department of labor and seize my bank account. realizing this guy was FOSht. I explained that I worked as a special agent for the US Attoneys office and I was awaiting his call... He couldn't hang up quick enough..
