Yes, last year. It was left on my answering machine. At first it caught me off guard and I was concerned. Then it quickly occurred to me the IRS would not call and leave a threatening message on an answering machine. I mention this to someone at work and it was suggested to report it to the police to be investigated as fraud.
YES! He said that if I didn't sent him the money, the police was coming to the house and serve me some kind of papers.. . It was some guy with an Indian accent. . I acted real concerned and asked for his supervisor. . .. when the supervisor came, . . It was the same guy!!!!.. . I said, dude you're the same guy!! . . .He said, No Im not!!. . . It's funny, but I admit that for the first minute of so he was very convincing...
Yes. I've received two different messages left on my answering machine over the course of a couple of weeks last year. He told me if I didn't call them back they would show up at my door and arrest me. I'm still sitting here dressed in my best ensemble, waiting. So, you're saying I got all dressed up for nothing?

That's funny, ))) I was laughing at the end...his last words were something like, "An officer will be at your door shortly" He never broke character, it was so funny.
Yes I have received several. Usually they do have a middle eastern accent. In addition several words they use are not common in the US like "sending bailiffs to take you to the magistrate". I have reported them to the treasury and the FBI. FYI The IRS will always use the USPS first.
I haven't received a call from the IRS but I have received calls from my "bank." They needed my credit card and debit card numbers to straighten out a "problem." The first time I told them I like to lather up with Vasoline, lay on the kitchen floor, and pretend I'm a slug. The second time I told them, "Thank you for calling the Peidmont Triad sperm bank, if you'll yank it we'll bank it!" The third time I told them I had bad constipation and grunted strenuously over the phone while dropping marbles in a bucket of water for sound effects.
