They said that they were calling from the IRS. I was told that a judgment will be filed against the person, (not me) if they don't contact them. The caller sounded as if they were of asian descent.
The name Sean Clark appeared on my caller id.
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Block and ignore. DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter. But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters. 90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively. IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes. IRS has no powers of arrest. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of money. IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone. IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case. No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments. Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement. All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals. All contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

I have gotten the same call. When I asked questions like what I owed and why I haven't beesn notified. They told they notified me twice and that was back in 2012 and 2013. It's 2015! Anyhow. When I asked to talk to a supervisor she hung up.
they have called over 12 times in a week. An African American woman by the name of Kelly keeps telling me I have a IRS judgement against me. Every time I ask questions she just keeps talking like I'm not on the phone. I tried calling the number back and it says the call cannot go through.
