Numbers with this prefix were first introduced in 2000.
While 9738412942 was originally issued with the info above, the owner of the phone number (973) 841-2942 may have transferred it through a process called porting.Caller type: Scammer/Fraudster
Received a VM from this number that a warrant has been issued under my name and I should call their department number 973-841-2942. The voice is computer generated & never uses my name just "under my name" so they could use this same recording to scam everyone. I have blocked the number.
CaliforniaCaller name: Alleged IRS
Caller type: Debt Collector
I was told I had an outstanding amount owed to the IRS of $2,476. I could either pay the amount or go in front of a judge in Washington DC. She said all paper work was filed and she she could not tell me how the amount was decided. I said I would call my accountant. She then very firmly said"there will be 2 police officers at your door with in 30 minutes. Do not resist arrest. Good bye" what?? This is very disconcerning and scary.

Claimed that I had a warrant out for my arrest. I called the number back and a man answered. He bombarded me with questions and knew my address. When I questioned him he became hostile. I blocked the number

I also have received an automated call from this number saying a warrant has been issued "under my name", I received a call frome thsee people 2 years ago stating the same thing. I paniced that time and called, they said I owed the irs money and if I paid $2,200 of it that day they would lift the warrant. I called and spoke with the police and found out they're out to take your money! BEWARE!! IT'S A SCAM!!!
