My parents got a same call like this, and they kept on calling saying that he was Officer John from IRS, and that he was going take legal action and arrest them in 30 min. if they were not going to pay, for some crap like unpaid tax papers etc. All lies!! He had a weird Indian accent. BE AWARE DO NOT DO AS THEY SAY OR SEND THEM ANY MONEY. THEY ARE SCAMMERS TRYING TO TAKE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.
Thank god for other people messages that I stopped my parents right then and there. They said my parents would have to give $3000. These people will be punished by God!!
They called me pretnending to be Jordan Jobs from the IRS and he said he was the DC Bureau Chief. He kept yelling at my that I had filed my 2011 return incorrectly and that he was sending the sherriff for me in 30 min. Eventually he would've asked me to send him money but I called him out on the scam and he stopped calling me back.
Yep same call from Jordan Jobs (senior IRS agent). Told me that the local sheriff was on the way to arrest me.
I proceeded to call him out as a scam artist, and informed him that impersonating a federal agent was a big no-no. Told him I recorded the phone call and was sending it up the line for prosecution. Had him begging me not to do that.
I had a good time making him crawl.
BTW: if they call you report them to www.TIGTA.gov
Man called, could hardly speak english, fumbled over his words, cutting in and out, the number was 1-202-239-8713. Requested over $2000 by the end of this year.
