Complaint Review: Dept of Legal Affairs for the US Treasury

SCAM!!! They report that they are "Dept of Legal Affairs for the US Treasury". I received a call at 9:38 PST this morning.  I spoke to numerous people, including 'Inspector Travis Hall', and they said that I owed taxes to the IRS from 2009 ($3997.15). All of the people to whom I spoke had an Indian/Pakistani accent.  They said that they sent me a certified letter and nobody was home to receive it and it was returned to them. They assumed that I was trying to evade paying taxes, and I now had an unbailable arrest warrant issued against me (he said that he was looking at the warrant paperwork as we spoke).  They said that it was too late to speak with my accountant, and that I would need a criminal lawyer. 

After speaking at length to them, they put me on hold and called "the IRS attorney" who had the warrant issued.  They finally came back on the line and said that I could get the warrant cancelled if I sent them the payment NOW. I would have to mail it to the IRS within three days, but I would have to give them the validation code from a green dot money order to get the warrant cancelled. I was told to go to a Rite Aid (or Safeway) and get a green dot money voucher. They said that Federal Law prohibited saying anything to anyone until the payment was validated.  While I was talking to them I went online and googled the number, and several websites listed this as a scam (thank goodness, because it is scary getting a call from the US Treasury and saying that you are being arrested).  I hope these scammers get caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!!!!
