Got same call on 9/1/16 with same message left. The IRS scam is old and the IRS web site spells out the scam and assures people that they will never call anyone, threaten them with arrest (they can't ... that's the DOJ's job), or other actions. They will always put any notice in writing. These callers seem to be targeting the elderly or people new to this country and unaware of how our gov't agencies work.
Call from this number today
Message on answering machine says our identity is under Federal investigation, case on its way to Federal court, and if we want to avoid arrest we need to call this number right away. Third such call in a few days.
