received a message saying that there is a warrant out for my arrest. Person who left message had an Indian accent. Said he was Office James Williams. there was a lot of background noise. I called the number. A person on the other line answered " Internal Revenue Service". The line was noisy and not clear. the person I got on the phone had an Indian accent. He said that I was wanted for tax evasion. He wanted me to confirm my name and address. I gave my name. but then I said that I wasn't goign to confirm anything else because I don't know if this is a scam or not. He said he is an agent and he would give me his badge number. but then started talking about something else. I said that I couldn't possibly be wanted for tax evasion because I file taxes every year and I owe nothing. Furthermore, I said that if the IRS had me in this status I would have received notification in the mail. Or my CPA would have. He made up some stuff and then said that I received a certified letter in the mail. I said no I didnt'. He said let me confirm your address. I said no. But told him to tell me what address the letter was mailed to and I'll let him know if it is correct. He said,
Ma'am" you're wasting my time. I said IRS agents don't talk like that and how about I call the FBI? He hung up. I called the number a second time and got a different guy with an Indian accent and I told him that I think this is a scam. He hung up. I called a third time and the phone rang off the hook. I waited a while and made a 4th call. Phone didn't ring and then a message came up that the Verizon customer I called is not available.
