Telling me to turn myself in to local sheriff office that there's a warrant out for my arrest.  ?????

first they call from a unavailable number, then leave the VM to call the number above or turn myself in to sherriff dept.

I also got the same call. What state are you in if you don't mind me asking?

I also got the same call. Can you by chance tell me what state you are from? I heard this could be a magicJack number and a scam.

I got the exact same call. said she's calling from CA and leaves a San Antonio TX number telling me to turn myself in to local Sheriff's office. I got another call from a similar sounding person couple weeks ago saying they are from IRS and i am under investigation!

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

We got a call asking to call this number and that my husband should turn himself in to the local sheriff office because of financial litigation or face immediate arrest.

A caller with a heavy Indian accent claimed to be a representative of Duluth Police department wanted me to call so called "officer Ben White"  at this number--210 401- 3611 about an outstanding federal charge against me related to financial litigation. she hung up when I told her that I had the police department on the other line and would like to validate who she truly was.
I reported that to the police department. I went on to call up " officer Ben White"  who had also a heavy indian accent. Half way in the middle of the crazy conversation, I informed him that the conversation was being recorded and the case was under investigation. This guy blew up and called me all kind of derogatory names and told me to never call him again!

3/17/14   A woman with a strong Indian accent called from a blocked number.  She knew my first and last names (my name looks as if it could be Indian).  She left a message, partly unintelligible, but said a complaint had been lodged against me at the Department of Financial Crime and Enforcement and I must contact my local sheriff or call this number.  I live in New York City and have been harassed with at least 6 other very similar calls in the last few days, but every one tells me call a different phone number.  

Just got a call similar to Duluth-Scam.  I am not responding or calling office Ben White, but knew this was a scam.  It's kinda fun to listen what BS these guys have to say.  

Got a call from a woman posing as officer  renee Brownin threatening arrest and to call Ben migambee officer at dept of financial requirements for symetrics.

Caller with ID 1911 claiming to be officer Amy Brown from police department left me a voicemail saying either surrender yourself at local police station, or call this number. She said something about federal complaint against my name from financial crime enforcement network and that I only had 2 options -- turn yourself in, or call them at 210-401-3611 number. I reported the incident to local police and even played back the message to them. Police have registered the incident, advised me ignore these callers, and not to call them since that is what may be looking for. The moment you call, they will try to scam you for money. I hope that the police catches up with them soon so they themselves get a sweet taste of prison.

I just got the same call from my a 911 number they left a message - he was trying very hard to hide his accent as he had to talk very slowly - telling me to turn myself in as I have a warrant out against me - As I know the detectives and a number of Police officers in our local department I called them and asked if there was anyone in the department with these names and if these two gentleman were new to the department. So Officer Lee Schandler and Thomas O'Brien do not exist in my local department. AND THIS IS A SCAM!!! BEWARE!!! I gave this number to my local police and sheriff department: 347-418-0373
