Called by one number and told by a machine that I owed the IRS money and had a warrant out for my arrest. I called the number and asked for any identifying information they could give me to prove they were legitimate. He fumbled through an address I had 10 years ago and asked for $1,200 in unpaid taxes. At this point I hung up. No information given

Ever since I received a lump sum of money I have be getting these calls for various numbers, with the same voices. One man heavy accent, and a woman claiming to be the IRS. The numbers the call from show up in my caller Id as a likely scam. I have had no problems with the IRS ever and I don't think I would have gotten a tax return if I owed money.
Today I received multiple calls from 315-20-4978 telling me that I had defrauded the government on my taxes from 2012-2016 which I didn't even start filling taxes until 2015. Regardless they tried to tell me that I had to drive to a rite-aid or Walgreens and get an electronic voucher to pay back 4000 dollars and that if I didn't I was going to be arrested. Just thought I should let someone know

We had 2 phone messages stating: An arrest warrant has been issued under your name by the IRS, so if you want to resolve your case give us a call back.
We did not call back, so do not know what they would have required to resolve it.

Received a call this morning with a recording of a man claiming to be from the IRS.
When I called back the same man that was on the message answered with a thick Indian accent claiming to be an Officer Frank Johnson badge #13849
He continued on to inform me that I had a warrant for my arrest and charges of tax fraud. That I owed 2170.00 for fraudulent returns filled for years 2011-2016. He asked me if I did my own taxes or took them to a CPA. I told him a CPA to which he asked the name. I gave him a false name. He then proceeded to ask me if I had ever been arrested on a local level. That is when I told him to contact my attorney
.And I hung up.
I filed a police report with Edinburg Police Dept.Later on I got a call from the same number as before same man's voice same recording only this time the mans name was Officer Brandson. I called EPD again added this information to the report. Next I used another phone to call the number back the same man answer this time stating Office Staph. I asked for Officer Johnson or Brandson and he hung up.
I used yet another phone to call him back. Same man answer as Officer Staph. I quickly identified myself and informed him of the harassment report I had filed on him. He then thanked me and hung up.
Really sad to think that people fall for this everyday.
