Who called from 2062121985

Just called and wanted 5 grand or sheriff would come arrest me.  And I could spend 5 years in jail.  Seriously don't think irs works this way.

Received call from this call from this number.  Person stated he was an officer from the IRS and I was to call him back regarding a law suit that he could help me with. I did not call back and WON'T!!! The IRS NEVER CALLS!!!!!!

a message from the irs

The IRS does not initiate communications
with a "cold call" to unsuspecting people.
Instead
The IRS always sends snailmail letters first!
