Brian Allen called me twice. He is my favorite. I mean the guy from IRS

Received a call claiming from Crime Investigation Dept.  When I asked for more info, they said it was from the IRS Crime Investigation Dept

I received a call from this guy today but let it roll to my answering machine.  I let it go until now and am glad I thought to research this number.  It does not make sense.  The IRS always sends letters, they don't call first.

It sounds like he is in room full of people and he has a very heavy accent.  Claims to be an IRS officer and he gave my husband's name and said he was investigation our Property.  Which did not make any sense either.

I got called from this guy saying he is calling from crime investigation dept and said I will be arrested by my local police dept soon. It must be a scam

I got a call from the (202) 239-6259 number; and they left a voice mail. The 'person' (I use the term loosely) who could barely speak intelligible english stated he was with the IRS (the name he gave was 'Agent Brian Allen' and he was calling in regards to a 'warrant' filed against me and my physical property location (that's all, didn't have my address or any other identifying info); gave a warrant number; and a 'hotline number to his dept.' which was (202) 239-6259.

(And in the background there was PLENTY of ambient call center noise with others making phone calls) - thus I figured it was BS as I've never had IRS issues; looked the number up on the internet and found MULTIPLE sites indicating this is indeed a phishing scam.
