Scammers are using internet calling such as VOIP, Magic Jack and digital phone service, hijacking legit numbers to look like the IRS is calling. They are using numbers from the IRS such as 1-800-829-1040, they will also refer you to call 202-864-1137 & 571-721-1319. DO NOT GIVE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION!!!! I have been having fun making them mad and or answering the phone when I see the caller I.D. come up by saying "Such & Such Police dispatch " or " Such & Such Sheriff's Dept."  These people are very good hackers, this is why it is taking the Government so long to find them, with the technology we have today the actual number used or where the actual call is actually being placed from can ping off a million I.P. address's a second. Remember the IRS will NEVER call, they send a formal letter that must be signed for. But it won't be long before that happens as well I am willing to bet. Have fun with them instead and F@CK up their day, more of us that stand up and do this, the more likely they will realize people know the scam and give up. Pass this on to your Facebook page, twitter and ANY BLOGS YOU CAN, tell family, friends and neighbors.  PHONE SCAM NUMBER UPDATE: 202-864-1137 & 571-721-1319 509-473-0827 & 240 949-7050 202 506-9178 & 202 241-7811 202-864-1137  & 571-721-1319 1-888-650-4784 & 202-506-9656 &  202-222-2222  & 305-507-4268 718-476-9759 & 202-241-1344 914-612-7258 & 202-719-0248 202-241-3122 & 202 506-9178 240 949-7050 & 202 241-7811 585-492-8480 and 517-827-4852 and 516-210-4056
