I received a call today (2018-08-22) that was a recording telling me I was subject of a Treasury warrant and that I would be arrested tomorrow if I didn’t call this number.
I thought it was phony, but I called to make sure. The man I talked to could barely speak English, and he was very fuzzy about who he really worked for. He began asking me personal questions. When I told him I wouldn’t answer until he provided proof, he got even more demanding. I hung up.

The phone caller left two messages in the last week on our answering machine. We had a similar call a month ago. The caller said they were from the Department of the Treasury. They said that they were informing us that a legal action had been filed against us for tax fraud and we needed to call them immediately to avoid arrest.
They left a phone number but we deleted the message before we realized it might be helpful for us to report it. We will try to catch it if it happens again.
