Our CFO reported this to us today:
"My wife received two phone calls yesterday from a Kevin Miller at the Dept. of Legal Affairs of the US Treasury. He said she had received several letters demanding payment of past due taxes and that the next step was for an IRS agent to show up to arrest her. She told him she would talk to her attorney and accountant. The second call left the supervisor’s name (Shane) and phone number (213-289-3832). I called him when I got home – he gave an IRS employee number 11578 and said Cathy was going to jail for lack of payment. I started asking questions about getting copies of the documentation that supposedly had been sent. I asked for the city where the information had been sent. They hung up. I then spent forty-five minutes on hold with IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and confirmed that there weren't any unpaid taxes at IRS. The IRS employee also gave me the phone number to report the incident as a phishing incident. Please be aware as it could happen to you."
