First i was called by a message saying it was an agent from the irs then when i called they accused my husband and i of commiting fraud to the irs. When i got decensive and told him i didnt believe he was working with the irs he said not to worry the police would be coming to arrest us with numerous counts including fraud to the irs. I have since called the irs and found no audit or any criminal actions towards us.
We recieved this call today and had heard on the news of such bogus IRS calls.
I simply hung up. His english was so poor could hardly understand everything he said.
It was a pre recorded message.
