Received a robo call from these guys today - suspiciously after competing my FAFSA! They said I had committed IRS fraud and that I had to call them back immediately to avoid prosecution.
I received a robe call like the gentleman above. They stated the same thing about being an agent with the IRS & that they detected fraud & I need to call them back. I didn't call them back, but they called back a little later & I just sent the call to voice mail.
Scam!!!! Received a phone call from a guy pretending to be from the I.R.S. he was claiming I owed the I.R.S. money from past tax returns and had to pay them right away otherwise I would be arrested within the same day. The guy even gave me a fake badge number. The I.R.S doesn't operate like this; so I called the police and they told me it was a scam. Its been a week and they are still calling me trying to scam me, If I was suppose to be arrested I would have been arrested already. I called the police again to let them know and they told me I have nothing to worry about.
P.S.- If you owed the I.R.S money they would first contact you in writing and in most cases allow you to make payments. Usually, if you cant pay it, they will take it from your tax return, or take it from your paycheck. If rich people like Donald Trump haven't paid taxes in years, why would an average Jo be suddenly arrested?
