This Kevin Nash is calling me a home and work and cell phone. Stating he was putting me in jail the next day because I have an outstanding debt that I know nothing about. I called the police. He states he can not do this and it is a call trying to get money.
Be careful when you talk to these people.
keep receiving fraudulent phone calls from people claiming to be from I.R.S their seems to be no way of making it stop except reporting it to a hotline with thousands of other people receiving these threatening calls ,wondering if i should change my number, the accent is east indian they use american names and they fish for info.
This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for this.

The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone. The scammers use voice over IP lines (e.g. magicjack (Ymax corporation). This is always against these companys' terms of use and can lead to termination of their contract. However only law enforcement can initiate the contact if you yourself are not a customer. Therefore, report it also to your local law enforcement agency. Ultimately this is a case for the FBI legal attache in Islamabad or New Delhi. If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction (and the NSA can finally be a force for good).

Dear Senator/Representative XXX
As your constituent, I am writing to urge you to demand decisive action from the FBI, the IRS and other federal agencies against organized crime directed against American citizens from abroad.
As widely reported by local and national media all across the United States and warned about by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (see http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm) a tidal wave of fraud using Internet phones has hit the United States. Millions of dollars already have been stolen by criminals impersonating federal officers from the IRS while hiding in countries like India and Pakistan, where most of the calls originate. There seems to be no end of it in sight.
I have personally been targeted by these scammers but it is the most vulnerable among us that I am concerned about primarily. The scheme is specifically singling out those that can least defend themselves against these crimes, in particular the elderly. I am also worried that given the origin of these gangsters, the money stolen from US citizens may be used for financing of terrorism or other activities directed against the national interests of the United States. But in spite of this clear and present danger to our country and its citizens I have seen no action worth mentioning by the FBI, the IRS or other federal agencies so far.
As a member of Congress overseeing the law enforcement agencies tasked with fighting fraud and ensuring national security, I implore you to make sure that they act on these threats and are given all the necessary resources to target these criminals in cooperation with foreign law enforcement.
This person says they are Office David Cooper from the Department of Justice who says they are going to file a lawsuit against me. They also called my place of employment and disclosing the same information to our receptionist. If this truly a call from the Department of Justice, it's not legal to reveal a the type of call to another person.
I received the same call. The guy states his name is James Miller, us department of justice and that I have a lawsuit for 765.00 he can settle it for 200$ on a green dot card, and that he could make it all go away. it had me going at first but I realized I had never done any o the things he was talking of. crazy....
