Same as all the others. I blocked the caller from my cellphone.

Clear scam - don't call the number.

We've received this IRS call a couple of times now. It just comes in as an out of area call. Think the IRS would come up on caller ID!  I also know that you would be contacted by mail first!! The recording is really cheesy!! This smells like a scam!

Called twice this morning.

Two calls on my cell phone from this #. I erased the message, and hung up before the call finished 2nd time.

Thanks, no surprise its a scam. I don't think its sophisticated at all; although it may be to some people. What really annoys me is they called twice on my cell. Jerks!! Will report.

I also got a voice message from the same number. the first time when I called back, the other end hung up on me , and when I called back immediately,  a woman answered. She told me to call back next Mon as the office is closed and she is just an operator. I asked what the organization is and she said IRS investigation. I asked why IRS does not contact customers by mails as it usually does. No reply. Scam!

WASHINGTON ? The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver?s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

?This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,? says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. ?If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don?t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn?t the IRS calling.? Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim?s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it?s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver?s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here?s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue ? if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don?t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you?ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you?ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their ?FTC Complaint Assistant? at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

If you call back you'll probably find the phone number was spoofed (faked Caller ID). But there's no point because the caller was probably calling from overseas in a country where you'll never be able to take legal action against him.

The people at this number pretended to be the IRS and threatened legal action if I didn't pay them. Horrible.

I got this call too. The guy read me legal documents, asked for my lawyers name and number. Horrible. I want to call back and threaten them with legal action.

I managed to narrow this to some pattern. I got this call when i disagreed to buy a service from someone who claimed as sister company to dish network. the original sales call came from 213-283-7261 from offshore (India) sales guy. I said i am not interested , he called me 3 times - so i warned him not to disturb me. After 5 mins i got the same IRS warning message from the 202-506-9529.

Yeah, an Indian answered and said her name was "Jenny",,,,started asking for all kinds of personal info.

We got the same call. I was concerned and I called back. It did not say who it is but directed me to leave a voice mail. I hung up. It must be scam. Thank you all for sharing.

Same thing - weird computer-generated woman's voice claiming to be IRS with vague threat about legal action against us.  So bizarre.

got call from 202-509-9529 same as above, it says "This call is intended for you..." something about IRS.  Has to be scam.  Called it back, and it went to voice mail, with an equally strange computer voice

Got a call from 202 506-9529 a scam about IRS

This happened to me and I talked to the person. Said the sheriff was coming because I have income unaccounted for in my taxes. I said no I don't. It must be identify theft. So I asked what can be done then he said a lesser amount. I said f u bring the sheriff. He hung up

Suspicious IRS call

Call from 202-506-9529 freaking my family out.  Said was from IRS and if we didn't call the back immediately would file legal action.  Bizarre computer generated women's voice said to call back.  When I called the number just for heck of it was no answer and number hung up on me.
