Thanks for these warnings. I received a call on 9/11/14 from the number 202-280-7873. The woman caller stated that she was calling from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, IRS. The woman's tone was menacing, almost threatening. She stated that a "legal affidavit has been filed against you" and that I or my attorney should "return the call immediately" ( to 202-280-7873), to avoid a "legal mess" because of the "case against you." The caller had a foreign accent (sounded South Asian). There was background chatter of other callers, as in a telephone solicitation. I attempted to return the call once; an answering machine picked up with a message in the same woman's voice, saying that the number was the "Department of the Treasury IRS," that "no one was available to take the call" and "to leave a detailed message." I hung up without leaving a message. I suspected a scam and did a Web search for the telephone number 202-280-7873 --I found this Web site. I'll report the call to http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml
