I call the IRS and the gentleman stated this is the 5th call he receive today. The call I received from the fake number would not give me any information about the back taxes she claimed I owe. She stated I owe $8,520 and must be paid in full today. If not an arrest warrant will be issue, drivers license will be revoke and 5 years imprisonment. I ask if she could repeat my social security number to me make sure they have the correct person. She stated she could not give ME my personal information on a recorded line. I said but you want me to pay $ 8,520.00 on this record line. She stated it was up to me or I can risk going to jail. I told her that I will call the IRS myself and see if I can get any additional information rather or not if I owe this money and if I can make payment arrangements with them.

On Monday, 5/15/2017, I received three (3) phone calls from this number, which shows up as "unassigned." Each recorded message was the same: ". . . Internal Revenue Service. The reason of this call is to inform you that the IRS is filing lawsuit against you. To get more information about this case file, please call immediately on our department number 419-216-9511. I repeat 419-216-951. Thank you." In addition, I received three more phone calls in quick succession from 952-479-4337. The recorded voice was the same and it had the same message except telling me to call 952-479-4337. I did not pick up phone nor call them back as I knew it was just a scam.
