Someone named Amanda called me at work on my business phone...very upbeat voice, but didn't leave anything other than her name and number. Weird. Blocked. Done.
A man with a heavy Indian accent called claiming to be Officer Mon Bell (?) from the IRS. He informed me the IRS has 4 lawsuits against me and will issue a warrant for my arrest. I needed to call 210.390.9798 to find out more details.
I goggled 210.390.9798 and that number is connected to a scam.
There is a widespread IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers on both Canadian and USA residents.
USA tax payers should read this:

They always send a snailmail first.
