I received calls today from both phone #s (202) 751-1163 and (202) 751-0752 stating that I owe $5,532 to the IRS and if I wanted to "resolve" the issue with them now, or have a warrant out for my arrest and go to court. I stated that I wanted to speak to someone further and see where the discrepancies were, the person then stated, "You have chosen to go to court" and hung up on me. I called them back and the same person stated that they did not have my name/# on file. Better be a huge scam and I am on the phone waiting to speak to actual IRS now to report it and to make sure it is completely inaccurate.
I too received such a bogus call several times today. I RS will actually send you a notice with their issues.Don't allow a looser (scam artist)to ruin your day.
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.
