Got a call from this number today 9/16/16 on my cell. They left a threatening message, some of which was cut off, but something to the effect that I needed to call them right away "before I was arrested". They didn't leave a name or what it as concerning. Blocked!
Scammer vs Unknown vs IRS vs Treasury??: Received a call from this number [Washington state # 206-701-5903. The caller (a man that did not identify himself) that left voice message stating I may be arrested for tax fraud and to call them back ASAP before arrested.
Note: I do not now or have I ever lived in Washington State!
I called to this number today-16 Sept 2016 to confirm if really from IRS.
Response: A woman answered said she was 'Officer Flint' and Badge # 87170 and said she was from Department of the Treasury- and asked me for my name.
She said she could not provide any way for me to verify who she was or how I could validate this information.
I told her I am not going to give him personal information and would verify with my local IRS office -so she hung up on me.
