    No public authority in the US will call you up   and  tell you your are going to be charged with an offense and then tell you he or she can make the whole thing ago away if you just wire them some money.  Never agree to pay anyone money on the basis of a phone call from a stranger.

    Internet and financial security 101.

    Can't understand why  people are falling (or near falling) for this,  Been around for years and is all over the media.

    For crissake, never pay money to anyone who cold calls you and demands it for some reason or another!

    Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.   Block and ignore.   DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

    I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.   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.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  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 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

    Well, they would tell you that they are th IRS and all sorts of things will now happen to you because of some error on your taxes.  However, they'll also say they can make the whole thingo away if you just wire them some money by an untraceable means.  Absolute scam.  See my  notes.

    Total scam.  No one is arrested in the US for errors in federal taxes.  Typical Indian or Pakistani IRS phone scam.  Ignore and block the calls.

    Good idea not to return the call.   They are looking for vulnerable people.  If you return the call they may assume you are vulnerable and might hammer you with even more calls.
