Omg i got the same message they asked for my address and then someone called back and kept on saying he wanted to sex me and lots of other stuff i showed him crazy [***]. Wtf ... how did they get my number
Yea they called me told me they were going to suspend my licence, put a hold on my bank account, take my land, and send me to jail for 5 years. When I told them I was going to call my tax company H&R Block he told me they can't do anything that I had to pay $3500.
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. IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government. 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 as related to ordinary tax disputes. Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime. 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.

I got a missed call on my phone and when I called them back using a landline, I was told that he was calling from the IRS and I owe the IRS for miscalculated taxes in 2011-2013 for $2978. He said that there's a warrant for my arrest in an hour or so. The guy on the phone who sounded Indian gave me a case number. He made a mistake calling me because me and my crew pranked him back!!!
