I received a call & they left a message I listened to the message. I returned the call didn't understand what the guy said ask him "who is this again" He hung up. I know this is a scam, the woman said that it was an attempt to collect a fraud tax debt.
I received the same threatning msg feom this number by a man with an indian accent. He demanded to collect a tax restitution or he would send a warrant out for my arrest. I asked for his info and told him that i would have my attorney contact him. It seemed like a scam to me and he was very persistent about collecting a restitution from me.
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.
I got a message stating someone has attempted a tax fraud under my name and before I get arrested or have to appear at trial before a magistrate, I needed to call back. Mind you on a Saturday morning. Which no government employees other than the post office work this day.
