They called my home number and left a message indicating that there's a warrant for your arrest and we need to call them back. The phone message was broken-up and was hard to understand. When I called, they said their US TREASURY and there's a Law Enforcement action against you and your wife. When I asked what is this regarding, he said that we're defrauding the IRS. He also stated that I've made error in 2011 tax return and I was delinquent. He said we've ignored the letter that was delivered to my house and we've ignored their phone calls. And after his finish with this conversation, he'll notify the sheriff. They'll put me and my wife in jail for 6 months. I told him I've never received any warning letters from IRS or any government and legal system doesn't work like that. There must be a proof that I was intentionally out to defraud the IRS or government, and I must be proven to be guilty before they can put me or my wife in jail. Them, he said "Are you trying to teach me the law?" He said he'll contact the sheriff and you can deal with the problem after you spend 6 month in the jail. Then he hang-up the phone.
It's really frustrating that we have to waste our preciously limited time on this earth with this kind of scams.
Same message on my voice mail on April 6 from a man with a heavy accent, sounded more like Indian.

Hope you will take this right and call me right back. This is Mark Hason with the Dept of Legal Affairs, Looking forward to speak to you. Until then good luck. Bye
They just sent exactly the same message on my phone. Mark Hanson with the Dept of Legal Affairs at US Treasure. The only difference is that the phone number I am supposed to call is: 909-258-4007
I wonder is this is the scam, just to make you call, and keep you on the phone while you pay for phone call. To call to a 900 number, as far as I know is not free.
Just ignore the [***]!
I got a call from "Adam Rhodes" yesterday, so after reading this, I called back. I asked him to spell his name because it sounded like "Roach" on the voicemail. I said, "Why is someone with an Indian accent calling me?" He said, "Go to hell, just get arrested." I'm quaking in my boots.
