I also got a call from them about tax due and I call the federal and state tax department they said there are no due also I will get some refund back due to my over pay. I call the local police to inform the incident and they said its a scam. The first thing I noticed that the accent which doesn't go with the name. I wish police could arrest them for harassing innocent people in this way.
BE careful, Specially if you have young adults in the family.

TALK TO YOUR KIDS AND BE CAREFUL
I got voicemail today from someone claiming to be officer some parker with threatening message that there is some legal affidavit on my name and i need to call back on the same number otherwise there will be some action etc. I did call back to find out who they are but they were rudely asking/answering so I hung up and complained to FTC as suggested in the post.
Ask them to issue your arrest warrant and and press charges against you. It would be foolish to think they guys are sitting at that number in New Your etc. They have probably got VOIP account and making calls from Indian or Pakistan, harassing people into providing credit cards and other financial information. They cannot be caught unless their call is traced all the way back or ask police to identify the phone company which has issues that number and cancel. However, they will get another number and do the same. These people are probably scamming $1000s from innocent people. Dont be afraid of them and block their number. Shout back if they shout.
