Rec'd the same call from same person. I haven't given them a call back. It appears that maybe he/she is targeting minorities? I see other Indian names on this post. As far as i know, IRS wouldn't end the call saying, have a blessed day.

Yes, I received the same call today and when I called back the number-866 978 8345, I spoke to a guy who called himself Richard King officer from IRS -ID # 99769 and he said he could not tell me why there was a tax fraud. He said if the case was downloaded the sheriff's office would come down and arrest me in 30 minutes. I googled the number and found this. I called back and asked him if he is sure he works for the IRS-he said "I don't have to prove that to you" !

This same person left a message on my answering machine at home threatening the same dire consequences. I called him back yesterday (Wednesday) at 866-978-8345 as he had demanded. He picked up the phone and said, "Internal Revenue Service." I told him he was a fraud and he said, "Why are you calling then?" I repeatedly demanded to know his ID number (legitimate IRS folks give you that number upfront) but he refused. He then put me on music and I hang up.

He would not give me his name or say he was with the IRS and put me on hold with music.

Caller left message saying there was tax fraud and I would be arrested. When called back said tax fraud and have to pay immediately cash only and wire money from local walmart or else all our belongings would be confiscated. This person should be arrested and put in jail for harassing and conning people.

Caller left a voice mail with the message below. Please do not entertain these fraudsters. They are desperately targeting people knowing that the tax deadline is approaching fast. Do not fall victim to these low life crooks.

TexasCalled several times. I did not answer.

Caller type: Scammer/Fraudster
Calls himself as IRS agent. Will threaten you. Say, will call you back, give me your number and extension. (IRS agents do not have direct line). Call back after 30 min. Don't give any of your name or other information, ask for the call receiver's name, most likely it will be different. These kinds of calls are fraud. IRS will not take steps like taking away your assets or arrest you without DUE PROCESS.
IndiaCaller name: Sebastian Dusk

Caller by the name of Sebastian Dusk claimed to be from the Washington DC IRS Legal office. gave me a Federal case number and the amount of taxes I owed since 2008, and stated that I would be arrested in the next 30 minutes and my house and car and bank accounts and passport and state ID would all be confiscated, etc. went on and on about all the bad things that would happen to me and asked if I had access to a criminal attorney. he stated that I was served twice last year by the IRS, so I asked him what address I was served at and when he gave me my old address I suspected it to be a fraudulent call since the IRS has my latest address from my tax returns.
