I also received a call from the cell number in LA telling me I was being sued by the IRS.  It shook me up,so I can fully understand how people fall for it.  I told the guy with a foreign accent that I always pay my taxes but his script that he read said I would be arrested without bail or legal representation.  I told him that I wanted the case number which he never provided.  He continued to read his criminal script and I interrupted and said I would go to the IRS office tomorrow to look into this further.  He told me I owed $1,989.  Seemed like a lot of effort for that amount of money.

I think I asked so many questions he hung up on me.  I reported to whole thing to the inspector general for the IRS and the FTC.
