I am posting this in many places so that people know about this evil scam and are forewarned. I had the misfortune of picking up the phone this morning (caller from San Angelo, Texas, 325-500-0533) when it rang and was stunned beyond disbelief to hear that an arrest warrant was pending against me and I would find myself behind bars in a couple of hours, for 4 counts of tax frauds/evasions/ theft by deception! The names of these evil, miserable creatures who ruined my morning: Officer Rico Lopez who then transferred me to his "superior officer" Tony Williams and they said they were from the "Tax Crime investigation unit of the IRS". Or it could be settled out of court if I would pay them a few thousand dollars through government bonds right away. That was  a sure red flag. When I asked the guy how I could be sure if this was legitimate, he got wild and said he will straight send me to jail! My passport would be seized, my bank accounts frozen, and other horrors... I have called and reported this number to my phone provider. Oh and by the way, when I asked how come I never received any notice before, if at all, he said they sent out 2 legal notices last year... lie after lie. Hope they rot in hell, harassing innocent law-abiding people. Folks, please be careful and don't give out any info.

Report them to the real IRS here:

I received a call from 'Officer' Steven Butler this am from IRS stating I or my attorney needed to call back as soon as possible or I would face the consequences. This is a scam for money. Please be careful and don't pick up!

I just got a call from this number 325 500 0533 , looking for my husband, and said that he is from IRS and he owed tax and will be in jail soon. I said " how do you know that you are not a scam?" and he got pissed, and said" Fine, I am going to get sheriff to pick him up then you know I am for real" , I said, " You are scam and go ahead call any one, I dont care !!" and I hang up the phone. We dont owed nothing, hide nothing, so I know this is a scam, and the guy have a weird accent too.

This is a scam, give them a complicated question and they fumble.
