Call received and left a voice message. Immediate IRS call back required at the above number. I called back and asked the party for their IRS agent ID number -he provided 237211--the person representing the IRS claim I had a arrest warrant & law suit against me. I hung up on him. I know the IRS doesn't work in this manner.
I got the same messages twice for this week 9/15/14 and 9/17/14. Called number 240-215-4316 and a man answered the phone with "This is Internal Revenue Services". I asked him "Are you sure that you are IRS?" and he hung up the phone right away. BE AWARE!!! This is a scam phone because IRS would never call and left you a message regarding your legal matters or tax matters. They only send you letter by mail and they always have 1-800- numbers.
DO NOT CALL THEM!!!
And DO report this to IRS through website: www.TIGTA.gov (Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration).
Thanks for this post. I got the call, and decided to take your approach. It went like this:
"Hello, this is _____ form the IRS."
"Are you sure this is the IRS?"
"No."
"You're not sure if you're the IRS?"
"What?"
Didn't you just say you're the IRS?"
"I don't remember that."
"Ok, who are you?"

Yes...the same...threatened that I would be arrested; I assume they were going to ask me to pay lots of money over the phone, but I didn't get that far.
