Called today and said I owed money, very broken English, said he was "law enforcement", and if I didn't pay I was going to jail.I asked for his name and couldn't understand him, I asked him again and asked what law enforcement he supposedly was. He said FBI, I asked when did the FBI start calling to collectmoney and he said f you [***] and hung up. So I called him back and said no f yout [***]. I googled the number and it is a magic jack number they are using.

•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.
Ditto! Got the same call TWICE, each with different names and telephone numbers. Both callers left messages on my phone saying I was about to be arrested and carried to jail, also said DO NOT DISMISS THIS CALL. BLAH BLAH BLAH.... Heard on this morning's news about the scam. This scammer wanted over $11,000. HA!
