Just received the call from a girl with an Indian accent, saying that she is from Criminal Investigation office regarding IRS tax return for the past 10 years. She said that she is Jennifer McKall. She gave me her ID number and the arrest warrant ID, and she said that local police will come to arrest me in 45 minutes if did not proide her more information. We called to police and reported this scam number. Don't reply to such cal if they call to your phone, and please be advised by your police what to do.
Thanks a lot for your explanation. We have called to police, and I hope that somebody from this "fake" IRS callers will be caught.
Thanks a lot for your reply.

Got a call from a man with a VERY thick accent, Indian I think. Said he was from Criminal Investigation Headquarters in D.C. Had to listen to it 5 times to get even a little of what he said. But, he said he was trying to reach E., and last name. E. was my husband who has been deceased for more than 13 years. Read the other posts, I hope something can be done.
Someone with a super thick accent called. It was very difficult to understand him, and in spite of showing a Washington DC area code, it was clear that he was calling from a busy crowded room full of callers. He mentioned an investigation, and tried to sound official, but instead, he sounded fake.
Thank you for explaining the methods of this scam and how to handle it.
