Called my college student claiming to be IRS Collection Agent, stating there were 3 warrants out for her arrest for filing false tax returns. Said my daughter did not have any right to an attorney and the local police were being notified! It was VERY BAD and horribly upsetting to a student who has never been required to file a tax return yet! Woman said her name was Sharon Narton but had a foreign accent. Have reported it to local law enforcement.
My experience is 99% the same today. The only difference is that I told the caller I can't afford a lawyer. Then she told me if I pay 4XXX dollars they will not report to the police and I will not go to the court.
All same. I figured out it was a fraud and hang up, but they remain calling and leaving voice mails for a month. I added all that numbers to black list, and next day I got call from CT where same male voice with accent. So they are definitely located outside the USA and just use fake phone addresses.
