Do not answer them, it is a scam. They will call claiming they are with the FBI and that the IRS filed a lawsuit against you for tax fraud. They will sound threatening and almost like the real deal. They will give you two options, settle in court in Washington DC, and if found "guilty" you will be charged an insane amount of money and if you can't pay it then you will face time in federal prison. The other option, out of court is you have to pay the amount they say you owe the IRS on a certificate, with me they tried to have me put money on iTunes gift cards and give the information to them. DO NOT talk with these people.
Left messages about irs cases but wouldnt release any info, never addressed by name and three different idividuals hung up on me after asking questions
The caller sounded like they were from India, she said she was from the fbi and there was a warrant for my arrest if I didn't pay $500 in the next hour. I told her I wasn't the person she called for and she asked who I was I said well you're the fbi you should know who's number this is then I hung up. My husband called the number back and a guy answered once again sounded like someone from India and said it was the fbi, but he hung up on my husband when he told him he was a detective for the fbi and that their call was being traced.
They are from Ghana. I asked them over and over who are you looking for? And they kept asking for tim. And I said the warrant is for tim Gordon? They said Jes DAT did white. I said you idiot, tim is a nickname its not my real name. They ask for my real name. I said the irs sent it to you get it from them. It will have my real name with my real address and my real phone number.
