Type of a scam Tax Collection

Received a phone call from 518-595-4404. The message said that they were filing a claim on me for unpaid taxes and I should call them back to discuss the matter. I know this is a scam as I am in good standing with the IRS. Please be aware that these calls are FAKE and a SCAM.

I have received a call from IRS 2 times now telling me that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me, call 202 865 2383 not mentioning my name, this time. This seemed to be a computer generated call sounding like a female robot. the other caller was a man giving his name and # telling me to help them to help me - the same type of scam.

On July 19, 2016, I received a phone call from a Washington, D.C. number, 1.202.241.4416 from an Officer William Smith, badge number 00839 informing me I was going to be arrested within the next few hours due to defrauding the federal government for nonpayment of federal taxes. I explained that the taxes were in non collectable status. The officer continued to tell me I was going to be arrested and I would be in jail for 8 months and upon my arrest I would not be able to call anyone. Further If I called anyone while in this process, I would be immediately arrested. I panicked and asked what could be done to make this go away. I was asked how much cash I had on hand and how much money could I put my hands on. I said I had a tax refund coming back and that would be about 2k, however, I was not able to access that at this time. I said I could get $800 immediately. I was directed to get off my house line and call in on my cell phone line because they were recording the call and I needed to keep the line open while I went to my bank and again I was not tell anyone abut what I was doing. I obtained the money and was directed to go to Walgreen's, I was given the address on Chagrin Blvd and purchase an I-tunes card. When I arrived at Walgreen's I was directed to purchase the I-Tunes card which was green or turquoise with pink with an apple logo on it. I purchased the card for $500, there was no charge for the purchase of the card. I asked the officer why was I purchasing an I-tunes card to pay an IRS debt? I was told something about FTC regulations. I was also told my IRS debt was being reduced, all late charges and penalties were being discharged and I would be paying $100.00 per month to take care of the balance of the debt. When I purchased the card I went back to my car and was asked to read the number from the back of the card, which I did several times. The number was ***for $500.00. I was directed to go back into the store to purchase another card for $300.00 and not to go to the same cashier, which I did. The second cashier asked if I was purchasing the card to pay a bill or someone, I said yes and she said don't do it, it's a scam. The phone line was still open. I left the store and drove to the police station to make a police report. The caller said I would be arrested and after having spent an hour on the phone with me, he could not be lying and lose his job. I told him I would take my chances with the police. When I told the police what happened, they took the report and told me not to expect to get the money back, that it was a scam.
