IRS Imposter
Today, June 6, 2017, at 12:03 PM I received a telephone call from 707 932 3030, claiming to be the IRS. A woman, Jennifer McDonald, stated that she was with the Internal Revenue and that I committed tax fraud. She asked if it was intentional or unintentional. I told Ms. McDonald that I was driving down the highway and she stated do not hang up because I could be facing five years in prison, that they could seize my house and property and suspend my drivers license. At this time I stated that I was going on vacation; however, she stated I needed to get this resolved immediately. I then stated I would go back to Columbus and to my bank but she stated for me to go to Walmart. I was to get an electronic federal tax payment. I asked basically how to go through with it. She said do not hang up or an officer would be sent out with a warrant for my arrest. Ms. McDonald gave me a case ID number DC1928. Then I asked how much was I supposed to sent and she stated be $7,800.00. She also stated that I could pay $2000.00 today and pay the rest later. I was transferred to a male that was very persistent. I handed the phone to my wife as I was driving and became very nervous driving. I hung up on them after contacting my tax agent who told me it was a scam. I was contacted by two different numbers since the first call, 802 778 0111 & 816 281 3733. They left a message that an officer was sent out for my arrest.
