I received a call from this number with a recorded message from a robotic voice : ID number is IRS ID # xxxx. The purpose of this call is regarding an enforcement action which has been executed by the US Treasury regarding Tax fraud against your name. Ignoring this will be an intentional attempt to avoid initial appearance before the magistrate, judge, or exempt jury for a federal criminal offense, so before this matter goes to the federal claim courthouse or you get arrested, kindly call us back on our number as soon as possible. It's 917-475-0285, I repeat it's 917-475-0285. Hope to here from you soon before the charges are pressed against you. Thank you.
Obviously using scare tactics, I have ignored this call. The IRS or Treasury Department would send a letter no matter what. I have not received anything of the sort.

Person states they are " Officer Bob Smith with the IRS" Pakastany or Indian accent
This place is claiming to be the IRS and said that there is a warrant for my arrest for Tax fraud via automated message. The automated message listed a phone number I should call. I then used a public pone to call the number and a person answered. I asked if this was the IRS and they confirmed. I asked where they were located and he replied with Texas. When I asked what the man's name is, he hung up on me. These people need to be stopped before someone falls for their evil scam.

Received phone call from IRS accusing me of tax fraud, threatening me with immediate arrest, loss of back account and house, and immediate suspension of driver license, and demanding payment immediately for fraud.
Claimed to be Agent John Wilder, ID # 3S560IR671
After a series of threats (which did not seem proper from IRS), I finally told him to arrest me and hung up. The caller had a heavy foreign accent that was difficult to understand, and he was unable to provide me with a native speaker.

A woman calling herself Mary Jones with the IRS called and stated that I owed taxes for 2014 and 2015 in the amount of $1938.00 that needed to be paid or a warrant for my arrest would be made with my county sheriffs dept. I told her that I would call my sheriffs dept. and talk to my son-in- law because he is a lieutenant up there. She hung up on me after I said that. No doubt she was trying to scam me out of money and intended to try to get me to pay her that money. She had already left one message on my phone previously. Beware of this scam. She may use another name or number.
