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!!
Man called, spoke with STRONG Indian (middle east) accent. Had all my personal information. Claimed I was filing wrong since 2012 and owed to the IRS over $1000. Asked how did I want to pay? I asked him name and he stated it was Agent Allen Marshall Badge # 39603, then informed me I was being recorded and not to interrupt him again. Asked how I wanted to handle the matter, asked him to call me back, that I had to make a few calls to find out what was going on. Hung up and called the tax office I work with.
