Type of a scam Debt Collections

I received a call from an individual claiming to be an "IRS audit investigator" September 22nd. They claimed there was an audit done for 4-years and I owed $6750.

During the call:

They ask basic questions and then proceed to get aggressive and claim if you do not cooperate you will be arrested. They read legal jargon and claimed in order to resolve the case, you must pay the balance due before ending call.

Throughout the call if you accuse them of lying, they become aggressive. To add credibility to their information, they list "case" numbers and use your address, name, place of employment and last 4 of SSN.

The place sounds like a telemarketing building.

I have reported to the local press Sept 23rd and submitted report to attorney generals consumer complaint hotline.

When he asked me my first and last name, he realized I was not being truthful. He then told me he hated for people to lie to him and then called me a "Mother Fxxxxx".
