IRS scam, trying to have people call to pay their income-taxes or otherwise they will go to jail for not paying their income-taxes.
its a scam, it has been on the news about it. don't fall for it.
I received a call from man claiming to be with the IRS wanted to verify my address, stating that I have an arrest warrant out due to taxes owed. Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Ignore and block the calls!!!!
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 does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes. IRS has no powers of arrest. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. 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.
Shoddy connection but what I could hear is someone with a foreign accent saying dectective and your address is under federal investigation. I said well if it was the feds theyd have the money to pay for a better phone system. Ha!
