Called pretending to be the IRS investigation unit. Left message to call and if not they wished me the best of luck with the "situation that is about to unfold on me". WTF? Called back and they got all pissy when they couldn't find my number in their "system". Told me to screw off and hung up. Some weird accents- indian maybe?

Same here -- strong Indian accent -- could not make out the exact name of the company's name that was left on the answering machine -- said he was part of the investigative unit of the FBI and if I or my lawyer did not call back, they wished me best of luck regarding 'the situation that was about to unfold on me."
I got the same thing. A phone call from this guy on my house phone asking me for my "criminal" attorney's "information" and telling me that as a result of a "statutory audit" by the "federal IRS", I am being investigated for having "under-paid" the IRS in those years, not as a result of something "innocent" but as a "willful act done with the intent to defraud the IRS". Was told that delivery was attempted to provide me with documentation (when I asked for this) twice and that because I wasn't in, the matter has been turned over to him _Officer Nathan Brooks at the Tax Crime Investigation Unit, Brooklyn, ny 11201 and that there will be a third attempt to supply me with the documentation in person but that there is a warrant out for my arrest (!) and that once they catch up to me, I could face 3.5 years behind bars.
What the f...? This was terrifying but after some research, including with my accountant and a lawyer friend, we have determined that this is a scam. Please alert everyone to this and put at east anyone who becomes victim to these people.
I got the same thing - on the number I recently requested MagicJack port to another company. Nathan Brooks in IRS fraud unit. What's scary is he used my legal first name which is not on phone records.
