We would request you to get back to us so that we can discuss about this case before taking any legal action against you the number to reach us is 209 2907 2847. I repeat 209 2907 2847. Thank you.

Scam.  Computerized voice using bad grammar.  I doubt very much that a person will EVER get a legitimate call from some random computer telling them that they will be arrested.  I hung up and blocked.

Calling every hour! No way of stopping the calls. "You will be taken under custody by the local cops... serious allegations against you,etc." Very annoying.

Harrassment

They got nasty with me calling me a c$&t so I just kept calling them back and not saying anything now when I call it says busy.

received the same freakin message. as I said before IRS don't call. they send letters.
stupid idiots

This is a threat , extorsion, harassment, ECT Call it what u will. What it should be is ILLEGAL. The last I knew Extorsion was Federal time. They are threatening with jail time if payment isn't made, so?.?? It will keep happening until YOU and I get it STOPPED so u can put up with it or put them in their place!!!  I bet if your Congressman was on the receiving end this extorsion scam would be dealt with...

Same thing for me.

This number called today threatening legal action within 24 hours if I did not return their call. They had my address as well. "...taken into custody by local authorities". Called the number back and a guy was asking whether I had filed taxes or not. Totally mindless scam

I received this same message today at 2:35pm. Haven't called back

I got this call.  Law enforcement should be after these people, but law enforcement doesn't happen without political motivation.  This is why you don't get speeding tickets for going 2 MPH over the limit, so I thank the Lord for that.

something about 4 allegations against me and that I will be taken into custody if I don't take care of this matter.

A person called me saying the same thing 10 minutes ago and it scared the daylights out of me...should I be concerned or is this just a scam

This is a scam. I tried to call (from a landline) and always busy.
Trying to tell you IRS looking for you.

I don't know how it is but they need to go [***] what same one else

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.  IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government.     Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter.  But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters.  90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively.  IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes.  IRS has no powers of arrest as related to ordinary tax disputes.  Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime.  IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of  money.  IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone.   IRS does not accept Green card money paks or Itunes cards or similar for payment in any case.  No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments.  Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but  usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement.   All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals.  All  contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.
