I got two of the exact same type calls today from 202-864-1156.  A man claiming to be Officer Brian John said I or my attorney needed to call him back right away or he would not be responsible for what happened.  It was very threatening and then ended with, "Have a nice day!"

They claim IRS

I received almost dozen calls from this guy. Total scam!

This is DEFINITELY fraudulent.  Claims to be IRS agent "officer" Carl Cooper.
Beware these people know the name of your relatives, e.g. wife.
Definitely fraudulent.
Threatens with a warrant.

Received two calls from 202-864-1156 today with a threatening message that there is a potential lawsuit and that we should return Officer Brian Jones' call immediately. There is not enough detail in the message for it to possibly be legitimate.

I got a call too from this number and the message was similar a threatening.type. The impersonator in this case called himself officer Terry and his accent sounded east Indian. I had done my home work here on the web and today I called the Terry guy and started swearing at him in full blast and guess what he switched from English to Hindi and i continued till he hung up. Sp please do the same routine if you get the call.

I suspect they are a bunch of call center employees and up to their pranks.

Nothing to worry about just slap them with unkind words

I got a call from a man with an East Indian accent at 3:00 PM on April 17, 2014. He said there was a lawsuit coming against me and demanded that I call 202-864-1156 immediately.  Since I live in California, it would make much more sense for an actual IRS call to originate in Los Angeles or the regional IRS center in Fresno.  It would be appalling for the IRS to stoop to using telemarketers located in India.  So I have concluded that this was a scam caller.

this guy called me left a threatening message. you can barely understand him. he called me last week too from a different number. scammer!!!!!

I've had 4 calls from this number with a recording of a man w/an east Indian accent claiming he's an officer with the IRS and I need to call his direct line. What a joke! Not sure the point of this scam?

I received phone calls from (202) 864-1156. This is definitely a call from one of the SCAMMERS pretending they are from the IRS. Its a Scam. The caller says they are from the IRS and to call them back regarding a lawsuit. My taxes are done and filed. SCAM ALERT

officer Brian John asking my attorney or me to call else unpleasent situation will unfold in his words...
Appears to be same scam artists calling for many days pretending to be IRS officer or a criminal investigator want to settle fake case for a payment..
