I received a call a few minutes ago. Picked up the phone, got no response, and decided to call back. Was connected to an "IRS agent" claiming to be Jessica. She had a thick Indian accent and asked for me by name. I told her that it was me speaking and asked what the nature of the problem was. As previously stated, I was given false warrant information and asked to pay nonsensical fees. Since the call had the smell of a scam from the very beginning, I asked to speak to a supervisor. When her "supervisor" turned out to be a man with a thick Indian accent, my hunches were confirmed. I ended the call and have since blocked the number through my provider (they were calling nonstop as I was doing so). These people are filth -- don't give them any personal information. I hope no one reading this has fallen prey to this scheme.
