Received a message saying he was officer Paul Watson and that a warrant for my arrest was issued for tax evasion. Impossible because I pay my taxes. This guy talked like he had a mouth full of marbles. I called back and the same voice answered, but this time he said his name was Jim Arthur and his badge number was 0786. I challenged him, so he did not try to get any information from me. Fortunately, I know my local police chief and I called him right away and he said it's a scam. The IRS does not call. They send letters. Be careful folks. These dirt bags are out there and they will get caught eventually.
