Who called from 2022419630

I just got off the phone with the same Indian lady. My question is how did they get my info? How did she know that I owe the IRS and how did she know how much? Is it possible that our personal information is being compromised? The IRS needs to shut down this phone number since it's a known scam.

Received call about 3pm, from a "Jonathon Reed" with a South Indian accent so thick that he's barely understandable. Lots of popping, clicking and static on the line as well.  He left a message for a previous resident at this phone number, someone I know, so I knew right away that it was a scam. He made threats with warrants for arrest and blah blah blah. Reported the information to the Treasury Inspector General.

If you too have been contacted by these numbskulls, either leave your complaint here on this form: http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml

Or call and talk to someone or leave them a message at 1.800.366.4484

Just for poops & giggles, this is the official statement / press release from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Warns-of-Pervasive-Telephone-Scam

Follow-up: Here's another website with an additional number of complaints about the same scam, with them calling from all sorts of numbers.
