Foreign woman stated she was with the irs and there was a warrant against my name and that my physical address was under federal investigation. Called back and a man answered simply saying "hello" which took me by surprise so I hung up. Called back and it went to voicemail with the original woman who called me's voice saying we are currently unavailable please leave a message. Does not sound like it's on the up and up to me.
I received a call from this number stating that the woman, who had a foreign accent, is with the IRS and that she is working on my case for tax fraud. She had my address and phone number. Asked for my date of birth but if they were with IRS wouldn't they have personal information?

Got a call from this number claiming there was a warrant for my arrest. The lady had a foreign accent and called me back twice throughout the day when I didn't respond. This is a scam caller, in my opinion.
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Block and ignore. DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government. 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 does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes. IRS has no powers of arrest as related to ordinary tax disputes. Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime. IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of money. IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone. 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.
