Ditto to this IRS scam call. They say an arrest warrant will be issued if I don't take my money to walmart and send them a money gram within 12 hours. I am supposed to call them from WalMart and get the exact instructions from them on how to proceed!

The guy just hung up on me as soon as I said I was going to call the 800 # I had to ask about this. It is total crap.

I asked what city in washington they were located in. They said"starbucks" lol.  They probably think washiington DC. Is a stae as well.

Just got a call from  this number and when I called back the first time it never connected. The second time I called back a gentleman answered and he definitely had a foreign accent and identified himself as a police officer who was filing a lawsuit against me for $5,000. I told him I thought this was a bogus Phone call and that he was probably next going to ask for my credit card number to get paid. Of course he hung up on me. This definitely is a scam!

I did  call back and speak to a gentleman who had a Heavy foreign accent and identified himself as a police officer.  My first clue that something wasnt  right was that he answered the phone  himself.  I was also suspicious of the very heavy foreign accent. I prepare my taxes myself and know that I do it accurately and could never owe 5000 dollars. I told him I thought the phone call was bogus and that probably the next thing he was going to ask me for with my credit card number. At that point he hung up on me.

Prosecutors Seek 14 Years in Prison for Leader in IRS Scam
NEW YORK — Jul 8, 2015, 9:30 AM ET
Associated Press

The government says the leader of a group that duped American taxpayers into sending it millions of dollars should spend at least 14 years in prison.

Sahil Patel faces sentencing Wednesday in Manhattan for wire fraud conspiracy and other charges.

Federal prosecutors say a long prison sentence is warranted because of crimes Patel committed from December 2011 until his arrest in December 2013.

The prosecutors say people at call centers in India impersonated U.S. law enforcers and threatened victims with financial penalties and arrest if they didn't send payments.

They say Patel exploited "desperate" co-conspirators — especially women.

In a letter to the sentencing judge, Patel said he made "bad decisions" and begged for mercy.

On phone now with accented individual trying to get and threatening me with arrest.

I just hung up with "Indian/Pakistani" accented man who gave me the name (Officer Eric Johnson badge #105A). I need to satisfy  a 5K plus settlement. He could not stop The IRS arresting agent from going to my home. Where are the scam reporting agencies/sites??????I would have to travel to Spokane WA with my lawyer to fight the IRS.

Same experience as other comments. Live in MI

This is a total and complete scam that no one should fall for. The IRS would never contact anyone, "lawsuit" or otherwise, via a recorded message as bogus as this

The message states the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me.

If you're ever in doubt it says to call the IRS directly. Do *not* call back the number on the phone message. I'm sure they will keep changing  the number.

I am dealing with the IRS right now and got the same call as the others. So I know for sure it is not the IRS. They do everything by mail , unless there is a ongoing case you are working on with them. Before a call like that , one would receive many written notices. Its a scam!

Left a message on my answering machine that they have been trying several times to contact me.  Said they were the IRS and they are filing a lawsuit against me and to call them back.  Called back, even though I knew it was bogus, and all I got was a busy signal.

Just got a call from this number saying the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me. No one answered when I called back.

...but what are they getting out of this?

Caller claimed "your final call from IRS
regarding Lawsuit". I called back spoke with a man named Mr Austin he asked for name told him MRS FROST asked if he could speak with Pattie said that was me.  I asked if he wanted to speak with our Attorney he said to have him call Mr Austin then called me a Mother F [***] etc

Got the same call today left on the answering machine. Called back and they were trying to get us to go right then and wire money from CVS. Scam for sure. We called the sheriff's office but apparently nothing they can do.

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