Received call from this number saying that it was the IRS and I would be arrested if I didn't pay a ridiculous amount to them. They got upset as I asked for the supervisor. After a long pause, a man came on and insisted that an officer would be at my door in 45 minutes. I told them, "I'll wait." I will report this number to IRS (official place) BE AWARE...............
Call from this number stating they are the IRS and if I don't call them back will be facing a lawsuit and will also be arrested. Tried to call back and no one has answered yet.
