I received 2 phone calls yesterday from a Jason miller.(571-298-8533) He claimed to be an IRS officer and presented a threatening tone asking me to call him back asap. He also claimed the matter was time sensitive. When I called back I got a message saying "licensed reached, # of calls limited and to contact administrator.? Going to report this to the IRS asap.

I was called and accused of something I didn't do , and officer Eric said that if u don't call back he wishes me luck , it's fake and a Scam , why did they do that though ?
The intent is to hopefully scare you into paying them some money, usually via green dot card or other untraceable payment methods. Its called Extortion. Most of these calls are coming from India and Pakistan.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
I just received a "Unavailable" call I didn't answer from the same area code 571-298. The last four digits were different. They were 1025. 571-298-1025
