I received a message and returned the phone call. She claimed to be from the IRS and her name was officer Kimberly Tyler, badge # IRM0156. She knew my name and address, and said I was audited for tax years 2008-13 and that I owed $2986.96. She said that if I don't cooperate a local sheriff will be at my home to arrest me, and they would foreclose on my house for non-payment. I called H&R Block, because they do my taxes and I pay "Peace of Mind." H&R Block informed me that if this was legit I would have received a letter first. I was told to call the IRS and report this matter to them, or come to an H&R Block office and they will call with me (since I was the only witness to this incident). It's a scam - don't give them any info.
