We have received a legal petition note concerning a case that has been filed against your name by the Federal Court, House regarding tax evasion and tax fraud...

Got the same message 2:18 PM PST from "Virginia"
"There is a legal case with the Federal court for fraud with the IRS and if you don't call us (at the same number) we will have a warrant issued by your local sheriff you must call us back immediately"

The IRS doesn't call you, they use the US Mail. Scammers!

WASHINGTON — Aggressive and threatening phone calls by criminals impersonating IRS agents remain near the top of the annual "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams for the 2015 filing season, the Internal Revenue Service announced today.

The IRS has seen a surge of these phone scams in recent months as scam artists threaten police arrest, deportation, license revocation and other things. The IRS reminds taxpayers to guard against all sorts of con games that arise during any filing season.

"If someone calls unexpectedly claiming to be from the IRS with aggressive threats if you don't pay immediately, it's a scam artist calling,” said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. "The first IRS contact with taxpayers is usually through the mail. Taxpayers have rights, and this is not how we do business."

Same as others, IRS tax fraud, something has been filed, I need to call them immediately, etc.  Strangely I didn't see the number show up on my call log.  This was called on my cell.

Same like every one else

There is a legal case with the Federal court for fraud with the IRS and if you don't call us (at the same number) we will have a warrant issued by your local sheriff you must call us back immediately"

" call immediately, there is a case in federal court for tax evasion ........ "

Left the same message as above on answering machine. Threatens to contact the local sheriff's office if I or my attorney do not call right away. Caller ID says Sterling, VA.
