This one was saying i owed the IRS $892.00 and that i had 20 minutes to do a wire transfer to a Bank of America account or a warrant would be issued for my arrest for tax fraud, defrauding the IRS. They even claimed to have a agent from homeland security on the line with us.They said that if i didn't pay that the IRS would seize all of my bank accounts & property and that the fines would be $45,000.00 if i took it to court plus 5 years in jail!!!! I wrote down all of the names and numbers and got as much info as i could before i was cussed out and hung up on, I called the IRS and surprise no problems. I also called the Bank Of America to verify the account number and routing number and they were valid. I called the Attn. General, Home Land Security(Since there was an agent involved I.D.#14172012 Sam Anders), and the FTC. NO ONE CARED ABOUT DOING ANYTHING TO SHUT THESE SUCKERS DOWN!! That's our government protecting us, they said just don't give out any information and you should be fine. WHAT B.S.!!! How about fixing the problem and stopping this crap! Come on law enforcement get off your butts and stop this stuff!!

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
I received a call from 360-967-4418 claiming they are with the IRS and that I have a law suit with criminal allegations with a warrant for my arrest. The staff that answered the call when foreign and rude and would not answer my questions about the company unless I verified my cell phone which I did not do. I was hung up on two times and third time I asked for a supervisor who was rude and told me to "go f@#$ eat something and go to sleep". What does that even mean? I called them from work with co-worker present and was pleasant on the phone even when they staff were being rude on the phone and not answering my questions.
