202-241-8978

This Asian person called and ask for some one I do not know. I advised him that not only is this the wrong number for that person but he is extremely difficult to understand as his English is not so good. He then said that my address is under investigation by the IRS and that I am the person he is looking for. Then he asked my name. I wouldn't give it so he says " Who the [***] are you?" I hung up. This is a scam or something because the IRS would never speak to some one that way.

I just got the same call..I didn't answer because it was unknown number. But they told me the same thing and that if I didn't respond the local pd would come get me..but when I called the number back no one answered.

I got the same call. The person spoke very poor english. I was told that I was under federal investigation by the IRS This is nothing but a scam

Scam. Caller claims to be an agent form the IRS criminal investigation division. Needless to say, he is not. Scam looks to be similar to the one described here: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Warns-of-Pervasive-Telephone-Scam

I got a similar message from this number while I was away. The caller has a very heavy foreign accent, so it was very difficult to understand. When I called back to know what's about, no one answered. This number is landline. He should be caught and stopped!!!

I got a similar message from this numbe 202-241-8978, it is a scam., please can some one stop it,

I got called from (202) 241-8978
DC, USA

my brother picked up asked for me, said i was under investigation, my brother couldnt hear him well then the dude hung up on him   i hope he calls back

I got the same phone call from these Asian people with Indian/Pakistani /Nepali/.... that area of the world dialect and extremely hard to understand , telling me that I was under a criminal investigation issued by IRS. They wanted from me all my personal info and pay them $4,000 that I owed IRS. After refusing to give all my personal, they threatened my by sending law enforcement authorities and Homeland Security. I reported these calls to the local authorities. What a creeps. These kind people need to be hunted down and put to jail.

This scamer called me telling me I owe irs $2113 and the police will be at my door step to arrest me

I got the same call from that f......k [***]

I just got a similar call.  Caller ID showed it was from (202) 241-2083 and like others have reported, they claimed to be from the criminal investigation department of the IRS however, their accent made it nearly impossible to understand most of what they were trying to say.

I knew I had no IRS issues, and was pretty sure this was a scam, but I played along for a while just to see if I could gain some extra information to report on them with.  When I asked to speak with someone who speaks with an English accent, they first refused.  I kept insisting on it, but also making them believe I was falling for it in hopes they might slip up.

He finally put someone else on the line, but the new person still spoke with the same accent, which only confirmed to my satisfaction that this was a scam.  But it also made it nearly impossible to understand what they were even asking me to do, other than to call (202) 241-8978.

they told me to pay 5000$ or they come 45 minutes later with the police at my doorstep to arrest my husband my children started crying i asked him for a translator since i couldn't understand him he told me to wait i did then i checked online and  saw that it was a scam and hung up but he keeps calling now i hope someone will stop him.

This [***] should either be put in jail, or deport his a** to where he came from.

Once I told that FOB, that  his balls should be chopped and fed to his mom, the phone message has changed to a magic jack voice mail.

This damn guy ( with heavy accent ) called  me saying i owe the irs money and that if i didnt pay i would be arrested. I asked him for his company name, phone number, supervisor name etc. he kept ignoring and saying that i owe money and that they didnt have a supervisor. Finally i said come and arrest me bc i know this a scam. he hung up on me. Then I called that number back and someone else picked up and hung up the phone. phone # 202-241-8978  

Another Scam, Someone called my home number; his name is Mark Watson form the IRS @ (206) 436-4774., claiming that I owe money for prior year tax return. I need to pay him immediately, or I will be arrested….
