Same scam received by my wife. Understandably, she was quite upset. Don't know if there is a link but the caller kept phishing asking if we had used Turbo Tax and referenced tax year 2012/13. Not sure if that relates to the essence of the scam as in how they received phone numbers to call or not. Hope they get shut-down.
Received message on answering machine on 7/31/15 around 2:45pm from a robot claiming to be Judy Smith from the IRS. Basically saying that a legal petition for a tax filed against me and that if I don't call back I could be arrested. Saw people complaining about a similar number but I guess the scammers have several. The phone number that was left on answering machine was 213 814 2323, not sure if that was the one they called on.
Ditto. And for your comfort needs, IGNORE, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WORRYING ABOUT IT! The IRS won't do such thing.
Also, a second call on my cell this time, a warrant will be filed on Saturday, at 10 am. REALLY?? I didn't know a government sector works on Saturday ?!! And sometime ago, on a legal holiday, this sad people also calls too?! They had to be smarter than that to lured hard-working honest people.
Despite of this, I'll be praying hard for them that the Lord forgive for what they're doing is evil, to enlighten their Heart & Soul.
