I received an email from someone claiming to be the IRS today-Tuesday April 9, 2019. The message stated that I had a refund of $375.00 due and all I had to do is give them my personal information to confirm.
I did not get their web site as they apparently took it down when I was maneuvering in the message.

Robo call on my answering machine. 205-635-7447 Unavailable. Message: We have frozen your IRS account. Call this number to resolve this issue. I called from my untraceable cell phone. A guy answered " IRS criminal division, how may I help you?"
I said " You are not the IRS, you aren't even in the United States. Stop scamming people." He replied " [censored] you!" I said a few choice words to him and hung up.

I ignored the first call as it was a number I didn't recognize. They left an automated voicemail mentioning evasion and failing to appear for a court appearance. I called back and did get a real person. He claimed his name was Ben Reed and gave me several numbers to write down. He even had me repeat them back to him. He read my address to me (which is public information). He stated a police officer tried to bring the tax paper work to my home on January 10th, but no one was home. He read me an affidavit stating there were 3 counts of criminal allegations against me from the IRS. He said I could be responsible to either pay the IRS 80 thousand dollars or go to federal prison for up to 5 years. He told me I had 2 options. 1: hire an attorney and fight the claim in court or 2: resolve the matter outside of court. He told me if I chose resolution he would forward me to his superior. I hung up at that point. I'm assuming they would have asked me for over the phone payment. They told me I owed the IRS $3,871.92. After I hung up the phone he attempted to call back once and I didn't answer.

Voicemail said, this is a tax buisness you are being sent to the judge for tax fraud, and evasion. it even gives a number to give them so they can check and help you get this fixed. Do NOT call them and give them any kind of information. My entire family has received this call within last few weeks,, IRS DOES NOT CALL YOU...
Left automated voicemail about being arrested. I suspect this was the IRS fake phone call as reported by BBB.

Received call from a male with an Eastern Indian accent stating that he was from the IRS. When I inquired what this call was about he placed me on a brief hold to "check my account." I did not provide any information to this caller. He came back on the line and said that I was being investigated by the IRS for tax evasion and fraud and wanted to know if I had an attorney to represent me for these charges. I did not let this call go any further. I responded by stating that I was aware that this is a scam, and if the IRS needs to speak with me, they can send me a letter or call me directly. He then said I know your name, and stated it. He did not have my current last name (he stated my maiden name). And then he hung up on me.

I kept getting calls from them & finally answered an automated recording saying I must call to settle a tax issue & that a warrant was out for my arrest. I called & an Indian foreign accented guy answered demanding my name. I only said they had called me & what was the details of them calling me. ( Sounded like he was in a call center with lots of operators in the background) He sounded upset & hung up the call. I had, had them call seberal months before & had already had a long drawn out conversation with them wanting $4,358. I played along & came to the point they had me in the car (at my computer in reality) asking me to go to Target or Walmart to purchase multiple debt cards in tje amount of my settlement. I finally in formed him after over an hour that I was not going to pay him anything...when he started cussing me & I said I was happy to keep him on the phone to waste his time so he wouldn't be scamming someone else. He kept pushing that the police were on the way & got even more upset when I laughed at him. He cussed a bunch more calling me horrible degrading names & hung up.
