My call came from 202-470-3404 anyone else get a call from this number stating they were audited by the IRS and they were filing charges in court today for fraudulent taxes and to expect to be served today by the police department? Also stated my bank accounts will be frozen as well as they were putting a lean on my property car and contacting my employer to garnish my wages within the next hour an a half. THey rambled on siting some tax laws and stated I was going to owe thousands of $$ as well as attorney fees and sited amounts then when I asked questions the guys stated that he couldn't believe I did this all for 3000. how did I think I was going to ever get away with it didn't I think that they (IRS) would find out! When I questioned him about what the amount was for he kept referring to the gibberish he rattled off during the call and ended up telling me I was wasting valuable tax payer time by asking questions to just sit and wait for the police to show up to the door with the documents and I would know exactly what it was about! I reported this to IRS at TIGTA.gov immediately and hopes that they will be shut down ASAP.
There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers in both Canada and the USA.
USA tax payers should read this:

Note particularly the links at that site, warning of the scam!
These folks just called me, saying it was important to call back before taking a legal allegation (wonder what that it) against me. The whole message was a recording.
