Said they were from the IRS and would need to get an attorney?

Some guy with a noticably thick accent called saying he was from the IRS in a mean tone and informed me this was an urgent matter. He then said that he is a police officer be that's when I hung up and blocked this number because I know this call is a joke (knew about this scam for a while now). so don't be fooled, just black list.

called me this morning threatening me he was going to have me arrested for owing the government (IRS) 2965.00, threaten, to take my house , my car and my job, gave me a fake name , address and badge number, threaten, my whole identity sounded foreign,

Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.   Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter.  But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters.  90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively.  IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes.  IRS has no powers of arrest.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of  money.  IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone.   IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case.  No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments.  Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but  usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement.    All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals.  All  contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

THIS IS A SCAM CALL--man with an accent called, left a message, said was criminal investigator with IRS, said a statutory audit had been done, and there was criminal case in the works--I called the number back, and they seemed to have my info--name, husband's name, address...said I was being audited and had not responded to letters so now had a criminal case...I asked him if he was with the IRS or some other organization--he said not with IRS--actually finally admitted that this was a scam call, asked me how old I was, I then hung up without answering.
