It was an automated voice saying that I hadn’t paid something to the IRS and that they issued a warrant for my arrest. It then told me to call a different number with the area code 815, I didn’t write the number down, unfortunately. It told me to call that number and that an agent was waiting to talk to me.

This call purported to be "Officer James Brown" with/from the "Internal Revenue ServiceS" [Note the use of plural for the word Services, unheard of in my experience. Furthermore, the call utilized a computer-generated voice, another tip-off that this was a scam.
I did not call back on the above toll fee number.

A woman with a strong foreign accent called today and identified herself as Sarah. She was claiming to be calling from the Internal Revenue Service and provided a bogus IRS badge ID number -002572. She stated that an FBI investigation has been filed against me and a warrant was out for my arrest for an undisclosed amount of unpaid debt. When I said I will have to check with my accountant first, they hung up. I know that the IRS doesn’t initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages or social media channels to request personal or financial information. In addition, IRS does not threaten taxpayers with lawsuits, imprisonment or other enforcement action. Beware of this number and do not give any personal information. The scam artist also had my full name and address on file.

A man has been contacting me stating he was from the IRS and I had a warrant for my arrest because my taxes had been miscalculated and the warrant would be issued in 48 hours and I would have to go to jail for two months. When I question if it was legit he became angry and started threatening me I stated I have right and you can’t speak to me that way. He tried to put me on hold. I hung up. He has been calling and leaving threatening messages on my phone for weeks. I called back today to see if this was valid he verified my information with my phone number.

We received two voicemails today claiming they were from "Internal Revenue Services". Note that it didn’t say The Internal Revenue Service. The syntax was stilted and a little off, somewhat like the Nigerian scam e-mails we often see. The message claimed that it was the final notice that IRS was suing us. Since we have received no contact from the actual IRS, we assume this is a scam. We did not call the number, so we were not at risk, but I’m assuming some people would call the number and then be a potential scam victim. The message did not mention any names, so this may be a computerized dialing program.
Thanks,

Callers name was Alex Parker, Id # IRM511, cited Case File # *** (called from phone # 202-864-0140) and stated I had under-reported my income since 2009. I hung up upon hearing this, and did not provide any information. Callers voice was a heavy foreign accent and sounded very unprofessional. There was a lot of office "clatter" in the background.
