caller said he was from the IRS. When I returned the call they answered "Hello". I asked if this was the IRS and what this call was about. He said if I didn't pay him right now, a warrant would be issued. When I said I would be calling my attorney first...he said I couldn't because the warrant would be issued as soon as I hung up and I would have to appear in court. He barely spoke English and I could barely understand a word he was saying. I told him I would be calling the IRS directly on their 800#...and he said the warrant was being issued if I didn't settle this right now. I just hung up. I have NEVER heard of tax audits being handled like this. Oh..and he called me by my nickname, not my legal name...so that raised red flags right away!!
