This is a scam. Caller claims to be Mike Brown, IRS Revenue Officer but does not provide a case number. The IRS leaves a case number. Always ask callers for their IRS Employee Number. IRS employees will provide the number immediately. These callers refuse to provide ID numbers and claim to be from the IRS "Washington State" branch office. All callers have Western Indian accents. They claim they have a non-billable warrant for your arrest and state you have 5 criminal allegations against you. They demand your payment over the phone or your will be arrested. The IRS NEVER requests a credit card or wire transfer over the phone. The caller ID does list the actual IRS' main number of 800-829-1040. Do not give out any personal information, do not verify any of your personal, information and do not pay them!
