Ever wonder why a robotic voice keeps demanding you call back about an IRS lawsuit? The pattern is clear: a synthetic female voice, poor grammar, and a DC‑area number urging you to dial back for “more information.” This is a classic phishing scam designed to harvest personal data or extract money. Hang up immediately, never provide personal details, and report the number to the FTC or your phone carrier. Use call‑blocking apps and consider a spam‑filter service to reduce repeat calls. If you’re ever uncertain, verify directly with the official IRS 800‑829‑1040 line.

Apparently, the phone number 202-864-2535 is a scam, dont answer it, they always ask about pay back taxes money you owe, they claim to be from Washington DC, but dont belive them.....
Harassment from this DC number, which also uses various numbers from the 202 area code, is clearly an illegal scam that needs to be addressed.
They are also using the numbers 412-452-1876 and 765-617-5420, which are also IRS scam numbers, alot of peoples are getting scammed by this kind of calls
Currently, they are using a different number: 336-671-0507

I appreciate the effort to educate people about this issue and provide valuable information.
Receiving two calls within a span of three hours, both claiming to be from the IRS and stating that a lawsuit is being filed against me, raised several red flags due to the poor grammar and pronunciation used. It's worth noting that the IRS typically communicates through mail for important matters, making these calls highly suspicious and likely a scam.
