I got a call from a lady last name brown stating I owed $4995.00 and would be arrested if not paid within
2 hours a warrant would be issued for my arrest. tried to call IRS but they were shut down.
Luckily I got on the phone for my father. My father had a heart attack about 3 months ago and he was so upset on the phone he had to give the phone to me because he thought he was about to have another heart attack.
I got on the phone and I thought it was weird I didnt have to verify who i was to him. He just started talking about what my dad needed to do to get him the money. I told him we never got any papers or anything and i said what happens if he doesnt have the money and he said the same speech about the police would be dispatched in two hours and he'd be put in jail for 3-6 months with no bail and no option for a lawyer. Knowing a little about the legal system just out of curiosity and the tv I knew the man was lying. I said I feel like something isnt right and this feels like a scam. As soon as I said that he hung up. All the names they used were alias' and Kenneth Webster is another one of their made up names that goes back to them. I did a little research about them and they are even being under investigation by the government. Don't worry about jail or anything about you but I am really sorry about what happened with your brother and the situation. This number is mean't to report the situation 1-800-366-4484 through the government. I called the non emergency police with my father earlier today and they said told me to call a local treasurer type thing to report it to them as well. I found the other number and the open investigation stuff through this site and doing a little research of my own. I hope this helped even a little bit.

TOTAL SCAM.... I played with this guy back and forth for 3 telephone calls, even lead him to believe I was stupid enough to send money to the IRS by way of western union.. REALLY!! I then told him I spent enough time on the line to track his telephone call through the skips he used and he'd be seeing me very soon.
I got that call too. Immediately thought it was fraud, because the IRS might be a nightmare, but they never are impolite or threaten you with jail. Great to see this post. I tried to call back, but could never connect. I'm gonna play this SOB when he calls me again.
