I received this phone call at 8:42 AM on 8-18-18 via landline. The voice was electronic, and "she" mentioned the local police will be after me if I don’t pay by calling the number provided. This is probably the 3rd time in 2 years I’ve gotten this type of phone call. The voice mentions "thank you" at the end, of all things.

Caller stated- he got a automated voicemail that stated he owes money to the IRS that if he didnt call back that he would be arrested in 24hrs. This call is a scam and he wanted to let other in his area aware.

Recorded call from 918-843-0564 stating the IRS was trying to contact me and that they had filed a law suit against me. They asked that I call the same number to talk to an IRS employee. I called just to see if they would answer and a person did identifying themselves as an IRS employee. I hung up at that point because the IRS will contact me by registered mail only. I did not listen to their scam so I do not know how much they wanted.

I also filed a report with the Treasury – TIGTA fraud investigation department.
