"Wanted to share a IRS phone scam warning ⚠️ someone called my husband yesterday stating they were calling from the IRS fraud department and we were being prosecuted for IRS tax fraud. They asked for his social security number which he refused to give out so they asked for the last four numbers and his age which he confirmed. They said IRS fraud department has determined we committed fraud on our 2012 taxes and wanted to know if we would agree to pay back $6,000 to the IRS to avoid prosecution otherwise they were going to issue a warrant for his arrest within an hour and he would spend the next 72 hours in jail. They stated they had been sending letters to our address with no response. My husband immediately stated no he would not be willing to make a payment and wasn’t guilty of tax fraud so they said see you in court. I called the number back and red flags went off that it was a scam and then I googled the number and knew immediately it was!!! but we were definitely frightened with the threats of my husband going to jail and I’m out of the country at the moment. I called the IRS and reported the scam and they confirmed we were not being investigated for tax fraud. My husband also called the Michigan State Police and reported the incident which they said they’ve already gotten multiple calls for this scam. Consumers Beware! The IRS will never ask you to make any type of payment over the phone. You will receive a letter from them directly and when in doubt call the IRS directly to confirm. This is the number that called “202-697-9844”"
