Complete scam, caller says they are IRS and I can settle "investigation" for $1300. I told him to go $%#@ himself and he called me vial names and hung up.
Report the Calls to the real IRS here:

•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
a heavy accented foreign man left a message saying (incomprehensible name) was wanted for tax fraud and evasion and they would like me to call before this case is turned into my local police department.
he leaves me a message saying he is calling from the criminal investigation bureau and his name is Officer Brown, federal badge #1363, and there is a bench warrant that was just issued for my arrest. however, before he transfers it to my local police, i need to call him back. If not, then i will be arrested, and they will take action against my property. Of course when i call the number back, the recording says, 'you have reached the criminal investigation department of the IRS'... The lengths these damn scammers go through to convince you it's legit business!
just left message on my machine, saying I was being investigated and a warrant for my arrest will be sent to my local law office. Claiming to be an officer Jim Auther. This is not the first time, it happened a couple months ago also, when I told him " a few unpleasant things" he called me "F-ing B-tch"Total bull and have no idea who to report it to.
