Yup same phone call, vertabum message

I received the same call today!
the gentleman left a robocall voicemail, I returned the phone call and when the recipient pick up the phone, they answered," IRS ", I asked them what agency this was and they responded by asking me my phone number. I gave him my phone number and they pulled up my name and address. They stated I owed over $4800 worth of back taxes including attorney fees and if I didn't have an attorney, I needed to pay to sum right away. What I asked him that I wanted to seek further information on the matter, the gentleman responded by saying, " if you do not respond immediately I will have you arrested within 45 minutes from this phone call, do you want to go to jail? " I was shocked by that response. I adviced him I was recording the phone call and ask him to verify the information. he then stated, "you already have the information. then he hung up the phone. I've attempted to call the same number back over 20 times in the past several days, but the line is continuously busy. The IRS will never contact you by phone.
I received the same call whose name is Jame Cooper from 206-201-2707. He told me this is the final notice and threatened to confiscate my bank account, passport, driver lincence because I intentionally misfiled income tax for the period 2012 to 2014 and asked $1,400. I will be arrested if I do not pay now with my credit card.
JJ: I got the same call from this number 206-201-2707 (James Cooper) with Indian accent. I don't mean to offend good Indians. I have great honest Indian friends. This guy is happening sound like that. He asked for $1,400 from intentionally misfiled tax for the period from 2012 to 2014? He wants the money ASAP or I will be arrested and IRS will take all money from my account, take my driver lincence, file a lawsuit against me...I asked for address to send payment in. He refused to give the address. I told him my attorny will call him, and he hung up...This number 607-271-9593 also called and left the same msg...
I just heard this on my messages too (exact script as Boo and A. O-B listed)... I was really scared until I realized how fake it sounded. Glad people are commenting since it obviously is a scam.
