Got a call two days in a row stating that they were going to come by and arrest me if I did not call back within 30 minutes because of supposed "back taxes" owed to the IRS. They speak with a heavy Indian accent and get very upset if you ask questions.
Number called twice. First time they left message on answering machine that IRS is investigating us (heavy foreign accent, hard to understand). Gave us time to read about this scam. Next morning called again, gave name Michael Davis, when yelled upon "you are scam, never call again" he hung up. We received one more identical call from a 206 area code, also yelled at them scam and they hung up. Read up on internet, this is massive scam going on for at least 2 years in US and Canada. Also IRS has issued warnings about this. IRS will NEVER call you, or email you. THEY WILL WRITE TO YOU WITH US MAIL. Summary: Scam-scam-scam!
The same guy called my wife and freaked her up. I called him immediately and he gave me the crab about arrest warrant. I insisted on receiving the warrant in writing and this when hanged up. I found this web site and read all about him same guy ...same phone no. and called him back and told him it was a scam. He hang up.

I got a call from a msn with a heavy foreign accent saying he was calling from the IRS and my husband will be arrested if he doesn't call back. I told him to never call my number again and he started yelling at me "stupid lady" this is a serious phone call. I just hung up on him he tried calling back once and that was it.
