I got a couple of messages from this number stating an IRS lawsuit and unavailablre warrant against me. I could barely understand the guy becaus he accent was so thick (which made me suspicious) and when he said his name was Officer James Smith, I was really not convinced but went further with him (plus the oonnection was terrible). He said the IRS wanted $90,000 from and threatened to take my home, car and everything else. He quoted all kinds of charges along with code numbers and said I could settle for $1600 and needed to pay right then. When I stated I needed to contact my tax guy to see what he did on my taxes to cause such charges, he said I was arguing with him. He then transferred me to a woman who was suppose to be his senior mgr or something. We had a bad connection so I asked if I could call back in to get a better connection and then I called and reported the incident to the real IRS. Thank you for this forum because I googled the phone number first and it helped me to know for sure it was a scam.
