New number....Same old scam.  Recording from "IRS". Informing you of pending action for fraud call before they have to turn your case over to the federal court.  They change their numbers more than they change their underware.

Fake irs can call me all they want. Plenty of room in the call blocker for them!

same message as Mat from this Seattle number and a number from Trona, CA  7603728089 -- same recording, same canned voice

voicemail message informing me that they have received a legal petition against me for tax fraud and to call them back before I get arrested or it goes to the federal courthouse . caller id says Seattle washington

Fake IRS call threatening arrest,  fines of $ 36,000
and said he was calling from Washington DC,  Treasury Dept..... not realizing I have caller ID...
Plus...... the caller had a very heavy accent of India  dialect.

I just got a call from them today but they didn't say who they were just talking about being arrested and going to federal court.

HAHA me too some [***] from india she said I am getting arrested, cause I owe back taxes, she said did you file taxes in last 5 years, I told her if you work for irs you should know that so come and arrest me

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

Received a call from this number [Washington state # 206-701-5903. The caller (a man that did not identify himself) that left voice message stating I may be arrested for tax fraud and to call them back ASAP before arrested.
Note: I do not now or have I ever lived in Washington State!
I called to this number today-16 Sept 2016 to confirm if really from IRS.
Response: A woman answered said she was 'Officer Flint' and Badge # 87170 and said she was from Department of the Treasury- and asked me for my name.
She said she could not provide any way for me to verify who she was or how I could validate this information.
I told her I am not going to give him personal information and would verify with my local IRS office -so she hung up on me.

The message left on my phone was:  Before you get arrested, you must call this number.  This is a total scam, looking for
anyone that will call back, then they try to scare a person to give up personal information.

Steve Parker of the Internal Revenue Services informed me I might be going to jail soon unless I called that phone number

Keep calling irs fraud

I got scammed by these guys because I didn't see this page soon enough. :(

I received 2-calls which went to my voicemail. Sounded very real and convincing  however, I pay all my  taxes and good to go with state and federal taxes. I  sent a nasty text to this number  telling the person they would be going to federal prison for  engaging in this scam.
