Robocall left threat on voicemail regarding the IRS. Shows as Bainbridge Island, WA, but no other caller ID.

Same just now.
I better call them back immediately... Don't want to get in trouble with the IRS!

Threat from. IRS

I called back. A thick accent answered IRS.  I told him I was reporting him for fraud to Texas attorney genersl.  He said nothing and hung up.

Robo call said I have a warrant  for you arrest {no name was mentioned} rest assured this is a scam. Some one needs to arrest this (these) people.

Threatening voice recording saying it was IRS and a warrant was issued for immediate arrest all my liquid assets would be seized accounts frozen then said to call back the same number it just called from and hungup on me.

Call said warrant for my arrest. Scam

Same sad IRS warrant call these people need a sharp slap to the head. Here is the best way to deal with these people I use Prank Owl.com you get 2 free prank calls a day or just google prank phone calls and use any one you want or all of them  If everyone would use one of these to respond they would receive thousands of return calls a day and spend all there time dealing with that and not scamming those who fall for this BS and it would lose profitability and would finally stop them.

Got same call today that IRS has warrant out for my arrest.

Reporting them is a start it  really only causes them to change Call back number these people are located out of the country and the US government can do no more then have the number shut down this takes them out of service for about 60 seconds while they forward the calls using there computers ip as all these calls are forwarded via ip address to another country. The only way to hurt them is to take away profitability call them back waste there time use a phone prank of the internet anything to waste there time and keep them busy so they cant pray on those who dont know better. This is the only way  stop them there not going to magically stop calling your number cause you report them your number is on a phone list they buy and trade with hundreds of fake company's

Tinfoil hat thinking.... they are going to do that any way since most will ignore the calls to begin with. Then they will try all over again. Doesn't really do the ones in the US any good anyway, they catch em.

You really think that with all that is going on the US government is going to commit resources to finding scammers in another country. And you say I have tin foil hat thinking lol.

My 80 yr old parents got this message and it scared them and they called me to listen to it.  I knew it sounded suspicious given they did not specify any names or specific info.  I then did an internet search and found these comments so thank you all for taking the time to post your comments so i could tell them to simply delete it and releave their minds.

...what she said.  And yes, you do have tinfoil hat thinking.

IRS Scam. Not really the IRS. These people are criminals impersonating the IRS.

Caller ID "MELA APU" --- that's a new one for the same old IRS scam.   Could this website please add the choice "SCAM" under the call type menu?!  If that is not possible, how about "CRIMINALS"?   Thank You.

another IRS scam call, threatening lawsuit "MELA APU" caller id.

Just received a call from these scammers!  Reported them to the FTC.  I hope they get arrested.  I don''t consider this a prank call since they aere obviously out to defraud the innocent and gullible, so I will select Unknown below.

Calling them back is the biggest mistake, since then they have a working number.  Call them back on a tablet with one of the fake numbers you get if you must speak to them, but do not use your real phone.
