Received a message on my cell, stating they were calling from the IRS and I had ignored a certified letter on the back taxes I owed.  They went on to say that I will be arrested on Monday, but since I have a no arrest record, they can have someone come to my house and pick up the $6000.00 that I owe them, and then all charges will be dropped.

Should they drop by on Monday (not that I gave them my address) they will be met by my friends, Smith and Wesson. Maybe I'll be able to collect some money from them, although I expect I'll just find poopy pants running down the driveway.

Report this to the real IRS here:

This number called me and said they were the IRS. And I owed $6000.00   They  threatened me with jail and that the sheriffs were coming to arrest me on Monday. Ha! Really?  I love how these Indian boiler room telemarketers call themselves, Frank, Andy, Wayne ,Alex etc.  I insisted on speaking with a supervisor and "Alex" replied in his broken English that he was a supervisor.  He kept asking me what number I'm calling from. I said that I'm reporting them to the FBI as well as make it known publicly about their harassment and fraudulent actions.

Report these losers to the FBI ! They are sick!

On Saturday I received a call on my answering machine who said they were calling from the IRS. The message was computer generated and said that I needed to call 415-251-6163 because I was being sued because I had not responded to a certified letter on the back taxes I owed.  They went on to say that I needed to contact a lawyer and that a warrant will be issued to have my wife arrested on Monday for failure to pay back taxes. I asked for a supervisor and was transferred to 415-251-9773 and he said he could get me an exception if I could get the taxes paid now. I asked how much I owed and he said $6320.00 and that I could only pay it by getting a bill payer voucher at either Food lion or Kroger. I aid that I had to go to my credit union to get the cash to buy the bill payer voucher. I contacted the credit union and told them what was taking place and they said it was a scam.
