I received a call from that number today on my answering machine.    Said they were from the IRS tax evasion department and that i needed to return the call or they would get the sheriff out to detain me until I did return the call.  I called back and spoke with a David Jackson (definitely not his real name) who when asked what it was about, hung up on me.  I called back and spoke with a "Michelle" who said that I needed to get her the name of my criminal attorney so that they could press charges.  I called the Sheriff's office and they are well aware of this scam.  Scary stuff.

Am being swamped with calls and messages from this fake IRS number over the last 3 days - same MO as reported by other posters.  Pathetic extortion attempt complete with heavily accented English together with background noises from a low end call center operation.

Keep calling back - it's fun, I pissed her off a number of times…..

I received two to calls today from the IRS Tax crime investigation unit. Heavy accented woman my wife called back and stated I wasn't home ( I was) and wanted to know what it was about , the woman hung up. So my wife was pissed and called back , officer Amy Brown with Spanish accent answered badge #4025 she stated we had an arrest warrant we going to lose our house and kids to foster care. My wife was really shooken up. So I called the Lynn PD & I said the IRS called the officer cut me off stating it's a scam. I gave them the number and officer called Amy Brown back she answered and quickly hung up when told it was the police. Total Scum Bags

Same as all the others complaints listed.  This is a scam IRS will not call you on the phone and ask you to call them back. ignore the calls.
