    This same company called me at 5 AM this morning from 206-204-4739. The caller had a very strong accent. I recognized his voice but the last time I heard it the phone number was different, from Washington, DC.

    this company used 206-204-5048, saying it was the IRS calling and gave a number to call...which of course I hung up on..6 am in the morning!   thanks to google I found this website to warn folks ...apparently they are still scammers!

    It's happening to me too.  They never leave a message though, and when I try to call back, it either gives me a "no longer in service" message, or the busy dial tone.

    Not sure if this is related, but I've also been getting, for almost the past year, calls from other cell phones with the same first three digits of my cell number here in town.  My phone rings exactly 3 times, and nobody ever leaves a message.  One woman even called me back asking if I could stop calling her.....which I've NEVER spoken to ANY of these people before in my life, and the only time I've tried contacting them is through a simple text, asking if they called.  Of which only one person has ever written back telling me "no, sorry".

    The number these [***] are using is 253-216-2530.  The number seems to originate from Kent, Washington.  I'm also a Washington resident, but I'm not anywhere near Kent, and I'm not sure if this is relevant at all.

    Good luck folks!

    Calling from 614-468-8964 now. Stating that I owe money on a loan and that I have been notified about legal accusations. If that was the case, I would be notified by mail and a sherriff will be showing up at my doorstep to serve me papers. Absolute scam!!! Been dealing with this for two years!!!

    I have received threatening calls indicating that the police are coming to my home to arrest me, and that they have been by my home and taken photos. The IRS never calls you and would never threaten you. This company should be ashamed of itself to be providing the #'s to call and harrass hard working people. The two numbers used to call me were: 229-231-3343 & 206-204-5553

    I got a call from the same company. I did not answer because I usually don't answer numbers not saved in my phone. I Google the number and it said it was owned by Mcleodusa Inc. The called me three times back to back and left no message. The number was 405-772-9206

    Stop answering calls that are in your contact list.  If it's important, the caller will leave a message.  Scammers never leave a message.

    New number to look out for
    New number 469-304-2333. I ignored the call since I don't answer numbers I don't recognize and only call back if there is a voicemail or text sent to me afterwords.

    8/17/2016: Today I received a recorded voice mail message from 509-570-1738. It was a threatening call about a legal matter. I called the number twice and was told it was the IRS, and I was contacted , because I defrauded the IRS. I told one of the persons that it was a scam, and that I was contacting the IRS and the DA's Office, and I hung up. The IRS does not leave recorded voice mail messages, or emails. It does send correspondence on official IRS stationary.  This is a scam company that is probably outsourced in a remote location outside of the United States, and trying to scam money out of unassuming taxpayers.
