Got a harassing phone call from this number. They left a message on my answering machine.They claimed that they were with an IRS investigation office that was going to press criminal charges against me. Sound like a complete fraudulent call. I am certain that it's a phishing scheme of some kind. Just blocked the number don't fall for their line of garbage.

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.
Got the call this morning answered it and it was a prerecorded saying they were from the IRS crime division. Did not mention my name. So def. a phishing scam.
Do not respond. Or call back and give fake info to screw with them.
Same here but got in an email, I hope I didn't get a virus because of it. Exact same thing saying I am going to be prosecutes in a court house. Scam!!!!
