Automated caller, Nicki Johnson from the IRS said I needed to call right away to avoid an issue. Not a valid number for the IRS as far as I can tell.
415-413-3497
Got a voice message from a female computer voice stating I needed to return a call to them about owing a debt to the IRS...give me a break I haven't had a taxable income for over five years. This is a scam!!!
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Ignore the calls and block them.

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 has no powers of arrest. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. IRS does not cold call anyone and ask for money. 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.
Received a call this morning and called it back a lady with an indian accent answered and tried to say that i had an arrest warrant for non payment of taxes she got very frustrated when i questioned her about this and hung up.
