This is a scam! The caller told me that I did tax fraud from 2008-2012 and I owed $4300. Told me when I said I am going to my local IRS office that he was going to go ahead and file court papers against me and he could help me now with the $4300. The IRS does not call you and will send a letter to you if you are truly deliquent or committing tax fraud! The person keeps calling after I have spoken to him!
