Left me a message saying I owed IRS money and there was a warrant for my arrest and sending officers to arrest me. Had my name, my telephone number and my address. The guy had the ball to argue with me on the phone!
Looks like a scam to scare you into giving them money to resolve a serious legal issue with the Treasury department so you don't have to appear before a judge or jury.
Called my house - claimed to work for the Treasury Department - wanting to inform me of serious legal issues. It's a big scam here - heavy foreign accent - SO TIRED OF THIS! About to cancel home phone service!
Modern technology has given telescammers the tools to call you.
Since those telescammers are criminals, they ignore both the Do Not Call list and any request you might make.
Modern technology can also protect you, if YOU do a few simple things!
The most effective thing to do is to get a call blocker device, service or app.
Then, use it correctly.
Google "call blocker" for more information, or visit Amazon or similar sales site.
If you cannot afford or use such a tool, then:
* Do not answer calls from unknown numbers ... let them go to voicemail or answering service
* Do NOT return calls from unknown numbers! All that does is verify your phone number! And, in some cases, those return calls may cost $20 or more to complete.

* If you have a "dumb" cell phone, assign the scammer's number to a group named "scammers" (or similar). Then, assign a silent ringtone to that group.
* Another option, for both smart and "dumb" cell phones: Assign a "silent ringtone" as DEFAULT. Then, assign your favorite ringtones to all known friends / family / business numbers. That way, you will hear rings ONLY from those you wish to contact! You will not hear scammers' rings, even if they change their number!

We got a call today from this number also claiming to be from Treasury saying we owed back taxes, which was total BS; the foreign caller had the balls to argue with my husband and tell him "see you in the courthouse!" Same M.O. as in another posting
