SCAM, SCAM, SCAM.
Received a telephone call at my home from this company who stated that I owed money to the IRS (which I do have a minimal balance owed from last year) and if I didn’t send money owed to the IRS immediately to them, that a warrant would be issued for my arrest, I would be arrested in 2 hours, held without bail for 48 hours, deported to Washington D.C., have a fine of $75,000, would be a convict, and lose my home. If I was to ask anyone (family, friends, etc.) for assistance, and disclose this discussion and the reason for the money to anyone, contact an attorney, etc., I would be arrested in 2 hours. I was told to call whomever I needed to borrow the money from on my cell phone immediately while they waited on my home phone, and if I disconnected or ended the phone call with them, a warrant would again be immediately issued for my arrest. The caller stated that he had talked to elderly women before, and that I was acting “like an old woman” and I needed to step up and be a man.
I called the IRS and they said this is a SCAM they are aware of. They do not make phone calls as such as this, nor threaten people verbally. The IRS person I spoke with said she had a co-worker that received the same phone call, and employees that work for the IRS cannot be employed if they owe any back taxes.
