I was told legal action was being taken and that I would be arrested.  I have done nothing wrong.

No, but the caller did.

Warnings from the real IRS and the FTC:

         "Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.
         ... "Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. .... Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail."
IRS Warns of Pervasive Telephone Scam

         "Tax season may be over, but scammers posing as IRS officials continue to call, saying people owe taxes and better pay up. .... The IRS doesn’t ask people to pay with prepaid debit cards or wire transfers, and doesn’t ask for credit card numbers over the phone."
Scammers continuing to pose as IRS agents

Had some fun with the Treasury Rep.
Was told they only use email and phone today.
No more USPS.
He could not tell me who the secretary they report to is.... I am so scared.

Recording claims to be IRS and if i don't take legal action the I will be arrested

I was told IRS had a tax claim against me and I would be arrested if I didn't resolve. I don't owe IRS any outstanding monies.

They are the IRS of Department of treasury & i fraud on my taxes of last year & I have to pay that amount something couldn't understand if I don't pay by today by credit card or wire the money you will be arrest before the end of the day. They said you need to promptly return this call.

No they are NOT the "IRS of Department of treasury"!!  They are criminal scammers!

“We have received legal petition notice concerning a tax fraud against you still before the matter goes to Federal claims court house or before you get arrested please call us back immediately on our hotline division number 845-335-2054 please make sure you call as soon as possible…” That's what got left on my voicemail. I know it's a scam and I had called the number back all they could say was "Oh Wow," and then just hung up on me.

I had some fun with these jerks and some names they never heard before.Called the BBB and they agreed. These scum bags even called me at $ in the morning.

It amazes me that this IRS scam which has been highly publicized for years and years remains unknown to so many people.  It has literally cost people millions.  Yet for some reason everyone knows about the imaginary yes scam where no one has ever lost a penny.

IRS Scam:

The IRS does not need to sue anyone.  They also do not bother arresting people for a few thousand dollars.  They don’t send the local police or Sheriff to arrest you.  Everything they do is done either administratively or using Federal Agents.   They don’t call you up and demand immediate payment. If you are going to be arrested, they don’t call you up to warn you.  They only issue arrest warrants for people who are really bad actors and have tried to stick them for very large amounts of money, not a few hundred or thousand.  Administratively, they send you first class letters delivered by the Post Office.  Several of them.  Ignore those, and they then send certified letters that you need to sign for.  Again delivered by the Post Office.  Ignore those and they simply freeze your bank accounts and anything else you own.  If they can do that, then why would they bother with a court case that might take them years before they get in front of a judge?  The IRS does not accept payment in Itunes Cards, Amazon gift cards, or any other type of payment other than cash, check, credit or debit card (from normal everyday citizens). Note that the IRS has been mandated by Congress to use private debt collectors.  They are still obligated to send you letters prior to the calls from the debt collectors.  The debt collectors are obligated to follow all FDCPA laws to collect funds and they are not allowed to ask you for immediate payment over the phone.
