Phone rings this morning, and since 90% are calls for her my wife answers, then about a minute later she is yelling for me and sounding freaked. I hustle to the phone and its some lady saying she is a treasury agent and there is a warrant for my arrest in an hour and a half due to some tax issue. I start to explain we are certain no issue exists, and she gets threatening, saying my records don't matter, do I want to stop the arrest process or not.
Then it dawns on me, IRS scam. When I say so they just hang up, but wow, what a jolt. I can easily see how many people fall for the scam. I filled out the form at www.tigta.gov and the notice there and on the IRS site says people have lost $14 million to the scam.
