SCAM. Left a message saying I was going to be arrested for tax fraud and that I should call them to stop it before it's too late.

The police told me that this is a scam. If you get a call from this number saying they are the IRS and you are going to be arrested for tax fraud, call your police dept and report the call along with the number it came from.

The caller claimed to be from the IRS, and that I was to call this number before I was arrested for tax fraud.

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.

Called saying I owe from
2012 taxes. And I was going to be put into custody if I didn't comply

these freaking people suck whoever they are. they used fear tactics against you saying you will be arrested in the next certain # of min and a officer will be dispatched to my house. They get to you to the point where your willing to do whatever you need to in order to resolve without being arrested. At that point they offer to give you one chance to take care of it.
