I received a call from this number telling me I owed the IRS. I refused to pay the amount so they informed me that I would be arrested within two hours and was looking at 5 years in prison. After hanging up I called the local sheriff's office and reported the scam next call to local news paper to warn the community.
Their machine talked to my machine, so the message was cut off at the beginning--it started with "lawsuit against you." I figured it was a scam, but this site is pretty good at finding a bit more info.
I returned this call (dummy) and spoke to an Indian gentlemen working from a call center. He explained that we were being sued by the IRS for unpaid taxes btwn 2008-2011. He said that local law enforcement would be 'coming to our door to arrest us'. I started laughing and asked that he fax over the claim so that I could have our attorney give it a look see. He hung up. I feel kind of dumb for returning the call.
I have received 2 calls from mechanical voices, one a male and one a female, saying I was being charged with tax fraud from the Internal Revenue Services. I knew these are false calls. I called the number back and a woman's voice with a British accent answered saying the person at this extension is not available and to leave a message. I hung up. This is obviously a scam. I really am sure this is not how the IRS does business, plus if they were really calling me, they'd call from the local office and not from some area code nowhere near my state.
