Got a call from a guy with deep Indian accent. I could not understand him. He "escalated" my call to his supervisor, who also had a deep Indian accent. She began yelling at me saying I did not know how to speak English! That was funny so I laughed and she said this is no laughing matter that the IRS has escalated my issue to their federal agency called the CI "Crime Investigators". She gave me her phone number 202-241-1976 and said the "cops" were coming to my house to arrest me. I asked who specifically they were going to arrest. They gave me the name listed in the phone book. By the way, our name is listed INCORRECTLY in the phone book, and that's the name said committed the crime - and the person who they want to arrest. Since that person doesn't even exist....I immediately knew it was a scam, so I kept laughing, and they hung up.
Also got a call from them on 8/18. Slurred speech, Asian accent... Said they were from Crime Investigation and provided this number to call. I am glad I looked them up here before calling...
