A caller claiming to be the IRS warned me I’d be arrested if I didn’t call back within minutes. The message is a classic scam that uses fear to extract personal information like your bank details or Social Security number. Never provide data to an unsolicited caller; instead, hang up and independently verify the claim by using the official IRS number found on the agency’s website. Block the offending number, and report the incident to the FTC or your local consumer protection agency. Keeping a log of such calls can help authorities track patterns and protect others.
It's amusing that I recieve numerous calls from varous numbers threatening arrest by the IRS, yet I'm still free. Their motives are unclear, but it's hard to belive anyone falls for such tactics.
A call was received, allegedly from the IRS, stating that a warrant would be issued for arrest if the call was not returned within 30 minutes, despite having the individual's name and social security number.
Allegedly, they claimed to be from the IRS, stating I had 30 minites to return the call or face 3 years in jail.
I had a similar experience with this number
LOL, I received the same message, did you end up having any issues?
Left message saying they were the irs, posible scam
I got a call claiming to be from the IRS, stating I had to return the call within 30 minutes or face jail time, which seems highly unlikely and suspicious.
Totaly a scam, automated recording claiming to be the IRS Service Dept, they mentiond a lawsuit and said i had to call back within 30 minits or i'll be arrestd and go to jail for 3 years.
I recieved a text message, not a phone call, it said it was from the Attorney General's office, and that I would be arrested if I didnt call back, and I would get 6 months in jail
The call was answered, but there was no one on the line
A call was received tonight at 9:10 pm, but it was not answered due to the unknown number, and a message was left with a heavy accent, mentioning the need for bank information to deposit something into my account.
