Got a call from this number and the person ( Asian accent) threatened me that he would come after me if I do not pay the penalty to IRS. He knew my name and address. ( No brainier these days as Vladimir Putin also knows my name and address!!) I told him that he is welcome to come to my home and that Fido And I will be eager to greet him and he hung up!!!
Got a call from this number telling they are from IRS and I have failed to disclose some information in my tax returns. IRS has sent documents and I have not yet responded. Since I have not responded to the documents, IRS has initiated proceedings to seize all my belongings, credit card, bank account, issue a non-bailable arrest warrant and deport me to my own country. They asked me to pay the penalty of $2424 via EFTP (government bonds) available in 7/11 or CVS pharmacy. They wanted me to do it immediately. I was not allowed to get off the call and was expected to be put in Speaker phone. I realized this was a prank call and mentioned them I will go to the police station and check whether I need to be arrested and then pay the amount. Then they shouted with bad words and hung up the phone

I also received a call from this number stating that the man (heavy accent) was from the IRS and there was a pending lawsuit against me. He needed to speak to me or my attorney. I also received phone messages the week before (heavy accent) that said he was Police Officer Patrick Dempsen (sp?) and he needed to speak to me or my attorney and to "not ignore the call". I called my police department and the police department of the town in which the call originated and confirmed they did not have a police officer by that name. Reported the call to the FCC. So when this call came in today, I asked if the caller knew Officer Patrick Dempsen, the caller sounded confused. I said I had called two police departments and contacted the FCC and he hung up.
