Caller claimed to be from the IRS. Stated an audit was done on my taxes from 2009 - 2013 and I owed the IRS approximately $9,000. They advised me that a warrant was put out for my arrest and if I didn't make payment immediately the Federal Police were going to show up at my door and arrest me. The caller also alleged the IRS sent me 2 Certified Notifications advising me of this situation and claims the USPS left me notification to pick up said mail. WOW....for a minute I thought I was going to jail! However, being a civil service employee for more than 27 years, I know for a fact government agencies to don't sent any mail Certified - BIG RED FLAG! Second, I actually received a notification from the IRS on my prior taxes in November 2015 and at that time, I paid what I owed. The IRS assured me there were no other issues found with my taxes. I don't know what kind of scam this is, but as soon as I can get through to the IRS, you better believe I'm reporting this SCAM Artist Company!
