IRS Scam. It was a recorded message from 'Officer John White'

Guy claiming to be an IRS agent … wants money. Don't be his next "patsy". I should think this is highly illegal as he is impersonating a Federal agent. Hmmmm…

Received a call today claiming to be IRS officer John White, to call him back as there is a warrant out. Complete scam as the guy had an Indian accent.

Call from IRS agent telling me to call him back today

Called saying he was Officer John White with the IRS. He said an arrest warrant has been issued and my physical address is under federal investigation. Wanted me to call him back today.

Identifies himself as Officer John White and says the IRS has issued a warrant for my arrest. Left this message, dud not talk to him directly.

Recording says: "This is OFFICER John White of the IRS DEPARTMANT. The reason for this call is to in form you that the IRS has issued an arrest warrent against you, and your physical address is under federal investigation. Call me back at 209-682-5673 to get the details of your case. It's very important that I hear from you today."

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
