This call came through from "Monterey Peninsula Area." I didn't answer but the VM was as described above about appearing before a magistrate, blah blah blah. Blocked.
Caller ID said call came in from Aptos, California. First part of recorded message was cut off so I didn't hear the usual "This is the Internal Revenue Services" pitch although I'm sure this was the same scam, different day, different city, different scumbag. What I did get to hear from the slightly garbled foreign sounding recorded message was "2nd attempt to avoid initial appearance before magistrate judge or grand jury for federal criminal offense." Wants me to call them on 831 612-0200 so that I can help them to help me. RIGHT! And the sad thing is these scumbags are undoubtedly making more money than I ever did or will do for an honest day's work with an honest day's pay!
Same exact message from Aptos California. I called back from a work phone and spoke to someone who provided no additional information. I told him this was a bogus call and to stop bothering me.

Got a call and when I answered no one was there. I have been ill a few days and was not in the mood so I called back and got an idiot saying they were, the IRS, and coming after me for unpaid taxes for 2013. I said the real story was I haven't worked in 20 years due to a disability and you are trying to scam me. They said F you and hung up
