It's a fake "tax collector" calling named "Jason" with a thick middle eastern accent. I reported this number to the tigta.gov website. I called the number back and "Jason" answered and I started laughing at him and I said "you are a IRS officer huh?!" And he hung up.

Got a call from this number and he said he was with the IRS and that there was a warrant out for my arrest on my federal taxes. Thick middle eastern accent he hung up when he tried to transfer me.
This scammer's method is to threaten arrest and legal fees, acting as if you have been caught trying to avoid paying a portion of your taxes. He tries to confuse you and keep you on the phone so you can get his money to him immediately by way of government bonds, (the IRS can't take credit cards at this time). For every response you give him over the phone to his accusations and threats, he has a comeback that includes another threat, no matter how ludicrous. Hang up. Don't let him waste your time or raise your blood pressure. He will follow up your hang up with a bogus 911 call and then another call from an 845 450-2985 with the same threats and wishing you luck if you don't respond. Amazingly enough, I was never arrested.
I have received two calls this morning from this number, two hours apart. Same message when I answer about tax fraud. Same person as the others complained about "Jason" with a very heavy accent. How do these people get our number? I have blocked the number.
I received multiple voice mails form this number 830-914-6898, The person claimed to be an IRS agent and that me or my retained attorney should contact him. And if I didn't he says he wishes me luck....
