I got a call from Stephanie, saying if we didn't get $3000 into the "IRS account" by 2:00pm my husband would be arrested and in jail for 12 months with no opportunity for getting out or getting a lawyer. They wanted me to get cash, go to Western Union and call her back. She would then give me instructions on how to send the money in correctly.
Scared me to death. I called the IRS, they said that it is a scam.
Steven Scott called twice after 5 pm stating he was with the IRS and there was a "deficiency" in our income tax and don't try to disregard this message or legal action would take place. The IRS never calls. They send out letters, notices and certified mail.
Received multiple voicemail messages from the same voice, but different names, all very common names. The voice was either computer generated or Indian. Says they are calling from the IRS.
