Prank Call
Received the same call like everyone else here claiming she's from the IRS and threatening to take legal action. Googled the number 202-506-8026 and found this page. Glad to know it was a scam.

Got the same call several times. Finally called it back today and the recording said "that the Magic Jack number you have called has not been set up." Maybe Magic Jack finally disconnected the scammers!

Received recorded message from this number stating that officer Pat O'Gray of the IRS needed my legal representative or myself to respond immediately before they took legal action against me.

After lodging the complaint, I have received a response from magicJack that I would no longer receive those calls.  

Thank you, magicJack, for being responsive.

I received a call today from the same number making the same threats. When you return the call you get a voicemail of a person you cannot identify. Scam!

The one thing I forgot to mention in my previous post -- THE IRS DOES NOT CALL, DOES NOT EMAIL.  The only way they communicate is through the USPS.

Like Mike, I've received a call from this number last Saturday and the automated message was that this is Heather Gray from the IRS and not to ignore this call as it is very important.  Received a second call this morning, same story.  I called back this afternoon and spoke with a Hindu or a Pakistani man, not sure which.  I was told that the sheriff is on his way to arrest me because there's a discrepancy between the income I've reported to the IRS and the reports made by financial institutions.  The amount I allegedly owed is $6,657 and that I will be arrested, will be in jail for 10 years, all my licenses will be revoked, I will not be able to work forever.  My mind must've blanked out, I got scared.  As this creep was talking about the manner of payment, that it had to be a payment voucher, that it couldn't be a credit card, I knew this was a scam.  Told him to do whatever, however, I am notifying my local police department.  All I heard was a click, he hung up.  When I called my local police department I was told this is a scam and that I did the right thing.  I didn't sense any desire to pursue it further.

I just filed a complaint with magicJack.  It is not to make them feel responsible but rather I am seeking assistance to put these creeps out of business.  This is personal.

If any law enforcement officials are reading this, please reach out.  Families are getting destroyed.  Believe me, I know.

I got this call on Saturday. Asked me or my attorney to call before they take legal allegations against us. Sounded fishy. why wouldn't they send a letter?

This is some coward hiding behind a magicJack device plugged in at some God-forsaken corner of the world where there is Internet service.  He's no better than a common criminal using a magicJack device and your fear the same way a common thief uses a toy pistol hidden in the pocket of his overcoat to make a bulge that looks like a real gun.

You can verify that this is a magicJack number by searching for it at http://www.phonevalidator.com .

This scam has been extensively researched at
http://www.pindropsecurity.com/consumer-fraud ... irs-phone-scam/ and it was found that magicJack numbers are frequently used, and many of the scammers are operating out of India.  There is even an audio recording of a call returned to one of these numbers and a written transcript of the recording contained in links from the Pindrop Security blog.

MagicJacks are readily obtainable outside of the United States for about $100 US and can come with up to a year of free calling to the U.S. and Canada.  In India, see, for example,
http://magicjack.in .
So it doesn't take long to turn a profit, even if only 0.1% of the people they call are stupid enough to believe the scammers.

In addition to the regular reporting channels, e.g., the Department of the Treasury, the FTC, and/or your local state attorney general's office, you might also report the abuse to YMAX Corp.  This is a fully-owned subsidiary of the company that sells magicJacks.  YMAX Corp. is in charge of assigning telephone numbers to magicJack devices.  I have seen reports that they are pretty good at responding to complaints and may be able to permanently shut off a magicJack device, if necessary, so that it can never be used again.

The YMAX Corp. main web page is at:
http://www.ymaxcorp.com
and their site giving information on how to lodge a complaint is at:
http://www.ymaxcorp.com/contact.html

Note that the "contact" website gives a clickable link to a "live chat" where you can make your complaint.
