CAT: Debt Collections · REPORTED March 10, 2017

IRS scam

A debt collections scam report, targeting a consumer in WA, USA - 98632.

Narrative evidence

What happened

Someone calling themselves officer Nitzwalker with a badge number of IRM1129 informed me that the IRS had a lawsuit against me. They had my address down. I didn't have to give them that. They spoke with an accent from India. They said there were charges against me and that there was a warrant out for my arrest concerning taxes that I did not pay from 2011 to 2015. I was to be quite while he read the legal charges against me. I could hear enough at the end of it that I could hear him say I was going to be kept from deporting from the country, could not leave for 5 years and that I could go down to the federal court house or pay off the fine right now. Which one would I rather do? I asked to speak with someone that I could understand and they hung up on me.
