A person with an Indian accent claiming his name is Jack Cooper from the IRS with a badge number GS6201 calling to collect outstanding balance on my taxes. Claim that officers have tried to serve me legal papers twice this year but I was not at home to sign for them. He gave me a case number and an amount I owe. He didn't want me let of off the phone or give me any other options other than paying the amount or getting arrested. He even offered to call the local authorities while I was on the phone. I hung up after my colleague at work heard some of the conversation and said she got the same phone call from Jack Cooper the year before. The funny thing is after I hung up I got 2 phone calls from a number in which I google searched and it was from my local police department non-emergency line. No voice message was left. Could be a part of their scam to make it seem more legit. And then about 15mins after that 718-521-6993 call me back again, when I answered it was an automated message. The same one the first time.
