Stated they were calling from the IRS and that I would be going to jail. Male was of Indian decent and wanted my SSN. I challenged him when he asked who he was speaking with by saying who are you trying to call. He quickly realized I was onto him and hung up on me after saying just tell him he’s going to jail if he doesn’t call back.

I received a robocall from 443-201-7779 on 3/13/19 stating that they were calling from the treasury and that my social security number was associated with unpaid taxes. The robovoice stated that if I hung up, it would be considered avoiding the government and a "magistrate" would arrest me. I hung up as the IRS would not call, they would send a certified letter.

I missed a call and they left a voicemail. The voicemail is an automated voice that says that there are four serious allegations against me regarding my tax filings, and that if I do not call the number back within 24 hours to discuss the matter, I will be taken into custody by local police. I checked another website and people who answered the call said they are claiming to be IRS and asking for SSNs and personal details and hang up;/

I keep getting a recorded phone call telling me that the IRS will be filing a lawsuit against me and that I could be arrested for income tax evasion and/or a past tax bill that I haven’t paid. The recorded message asks that I call 1-181-309-1017 (California) for more inofrmation. After numerous tries reaching the busy signal I finally managed to connect with a Richard Johnson who verified my name and address and then wanted more information like my social security number before he could inform me of my felonious act. He had a thick middle eastern accent. I asked him to send me a letter regarding the charges at which time he said they were just trying to forewarn me of the impending lawsuit. I told him I would not answer any other questions except by receiving a letter. He then got huffy with me and hung up.
