Just for the same call. Warrant issued for my arrest , call was being monitored by marshalls and I would spend the next 72 hours in jail. Said I owed back taxes from 2012. Told him I would call IRS on Monday and he hung up on me. Middle East accent. Could hear TV in the back ground. These people have been calling me for months!!
Said from treasury dept. & I was in trouble with tax fraud....sounded to be from MidEast....threaten me that the sheriff was coming to arrest me & put me behind bars....
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Block and ignore. DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter. But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters. 90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively. IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes. IRS has no powers of arrest. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of money. IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone. IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case. No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments. Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement. All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals. All contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

Received call from this number saying they were from legal affairs and legal action was being started against me. My attorney or myself have 24 hours to call them back. I answered the phone and it was still a recorded message.
