They called my home on 4/15 and left msg saying from dept of legal affairs and to call immediately regarding an important legal matter. I called and they said they were collecting a IRS debt. Had my address and phone number. Started asking for more info and I said I wasn't going to provide any additional info to them. Said they would settle for $2,000. I do owe back taxes but had worked out a deferment with the IRS due to being unemployed. They said they would transfer me to the department that could take my payment. I said this sounded like a scam and the guy said there would be someone at my door within 2 hours to arrest me and this was a non bondable arrest. I was freaking out until, thank God, I saw the posts regarding this on the internet. Thank goodness for sites like this!
