My wife answered the phone today at 9:44 AM. These people claimed to be from the IRS saying we haven't filed necessary tax forms for several years. My wife has memory issues and can't remember the entire conversation. Fortunately, she gave them no information. These con men are really something. Preying on unsuspecting citizens. :(

The IRS does not initiate contact via a phone call, they first send postal letters.
The IRS does not threaten arrest.
The IRS does not demand immediate payment over the phone.
The IRS does not ask for Credit card, Debit card, or prepaid money card information, at all.
It is a scam ran by offshore criminals attempting to trick you into sending them money.
Hang up and report the call here:
