I am also getting calls from the national fraud prevention center 312-800-9236 stating I am being prosecuted for stealing federal funds and if I didn't pay they were sending a was rent for my arrest. A local # called stating they were the Philadelphia police called telling me to cooperate which puzzled me. I was getting nervous it wasn't till I spoke to them again and the man officer jimmy brown stated I could pay using gift cards I purchased at cvs. I then knew it was a scam.

Person with accent keeps calling stating he's calling from The National Fraud Prevention Center, provides a case # and states that a bench warrant has been issued against me for fraud. He stated that I had not paid my taxes. When I stated that the IRS has not contacted me he says they are bigger than the IRS. When I asked for more information he hung up on me, but keeps calling my home. I've refused to answer the calls but he's left a message on my answering machine and keeps calling me. The number he's calling me from is (202-241-7693 Washington,DC)
Just got an automated call stating it was from the IRS.
Since when does the IRS use automated robo calling??
Since when does the IRS not use certified mail in their notices
Call came from 312-263-8267.
I had a call from a blocked number at 2:15 today, it was a man with a very thick foreign sounding voice. stating there is a case involving the national fraud prevention center, gave me a file number and told me to call 909-666-5794. He said I need to turn myself in at the nearest state police headquarters with my criminal lawyer. I have a clear background check so I do not have any idea who this might be. He not only did not state his name he did not call me by mine. At first I thought it was for the last owner of this phone number, now think it is just spam.
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Ignore and block the calls. Do not return the calls. They spoof local numbers. Spoof 202 area code numbers all the time.
IRS does not file lawsuits. Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter. But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters. 90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively. IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS has no powers of arrest. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. IRS does not cold call anyone and ask for money. IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case. No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments. Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement. All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals. All contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.
