I got the same call on 27th on my landline: I rarely check my landline messages as everyone who wants to talk to me calls my cell. I was checking the VM and this woman: Emily Pearson: sounds like a black lady, with some background noise, said my name, and said they have received a legal complaint in my name for tax fraud and if dont contact her soon, there will be an arrest warrant sent out. Given that its 30th night, I, like one of the guys above, nearly had a heart attack. I checked IRS website and saw the same press release:

Then a friend told me to google the number and here I am. Nasty [***].
some body call from this number to my home number saying i have done irs fraud, so there is law suite against me , the person has was not speaking proper english, then i call them to find out whats going on. the person told that irs audit me and i did not pay 9000 thousand, so pay now or got penalty of $ 32000.
We were similarly targeted. I have done some research. This is a majicjack number. The callers are calling from India possibly a call center whose main purpose is to scam.

It has been reported that some Indian users of magicJacks are individuals who play loud tapes in the background during their scam calls. Playing tapes in the background resembling the sounds heard from a call center makes their operations seem bigger than the are.
Got two calls from this number saying IRS have been audited my tax documents and sent the certified mails on this issue for 2010, 2012 and Jan 2014 which were all returned by USPS. (They said they have proof.) Initial caller was man and switched his boss, lady.
They said tax were miss calculated and I owe $6930 in total and if I will not pay now I will be arrested within 48 hours.(I'm very much scared.) I told I am not preparing the tax documents and my CPA will call you. During first and second call I have contacted my CPA and found this is a scam call...
I've got the call from this number they accent was a Chinese guy who said he is from Federal government and I did a fraud with Feds and they are coming to arrest me in 45 minutes, I was really scared and left my home for one and half hour
