Yes it is a scam and older people have fallen for it and paid them. Its been on the news. Just play along and don't give them any money. We need to get them caught and prosecuted.
The same number that called you called and threatened me. It's totally fake. I pay my taxes and the IRS is not going to arrest you. They would rather send letters. They certainly don't call and threaten you. It's totally fraud.
Got the same call with the same threats of arrest and frozen assets etc. #201-335-2726; knew name, address and email; agents- Nelson King badge #23218 and senior agent badge #233917 employee code #6443; IRS audit litigation team in the fraud department; told me to go to my bank and withdraw cash in the amount I owed and he would tell me where to go to have it transferred into government bonds and then take it to the local IRS office before 2pm today and then told me he would cancel arrest warrant and send me paperwork in the next 30-90 days with payment plans and gave me the proper IRS local office address and proper toll free number and then the call was immediately disconnected
its ISIS calling for money to fund terrorist activity. once they call say that to them it will get the computer rolling in Washington and they will get them
