This number is out of service until the next scammer get it. The same IRS scam is showing the number 866-978-8046. The will want to you send an "electronic voucher" from DollarTree or 7-11 instead of a bank or threaten immediate arrest.

This is total bogus as the IRS does not operate in this fashion.

Look up IRS Publication 596 Collections

I received the same message - I could hardly understand the person leaving the message.  I called back this morning from work and the phone just rings and rings. SCAM!!!!!!

i received a call Left message - threatened warrant - urged to call back this phone number - or - press 1 to speak to the agent - or press 9 to dispute.this is 2 day in a row.  Im a good taxpayer,

This is the third time in two days we got the same phone call as cited by other people.  They use 855-535-2409 as the call back number.  The speaker has Briitish accent and seems to be the same person all three times.

Left message - threatened warrant - urged to call back this phone number - or - press 1 to speak to the agent - or press 9 to dispute.  Checked the phone number on the internet and found here.

WASHINGTON ? The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver?s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

?This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,? says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. ?If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don?t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn?t the IRS calling.? Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim?s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it?s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver?s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here?s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue ? if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don?t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you?ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you?ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their ?FTC Complaint Assistant? at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

Receive a call from the same number with the same message at 7am.  When I called back they asked for my name and when I asked where he was call from he stat IRS so I then ask for his employee ID number which he would not give and kept asking for my phone number. When u didn't give it too him he hung up.  

I got a call at 6:00am this morning. Exact same thing as above. STOP IT!!!!!

I got voicemail on two consecutive days, October 29 and October 30, with exactly the same message, so the message had clearly been pre-recorded. It was a man with a South Asian accent and slightly ungrammatical English. The voice mail cut off at the beginning and started, "...name is been put under review for committing crime under tax, which is not cleared. Now, before arrest warrant is been issued on a name, I want you to contact me back on my number, 1-855-535-2409." The call went on to say that I could press 1 to reach any of the 35 agents, or if I wanted to dispute the matter in a courthouse, "simply press 9." My caller ID did not display the number. Within 15 minutes of the first time I got this voicemail, I got another voicemail from a "Brian Hunt" asking me to call back on 888-223-0817. (For more info about "Brian Hunt", see my 800notes.com report for that phone number.) Not sure if the two calls were related but the circumstantial evidence suggests that they were.

Got a call today saying had arrest warrant. How do we stop this harrassment??

I was called by then several times with the same spiel. Obviously it's a scam. Need to report to authorities.

SAME AS ALL ABOVE WITH THREAT OF A WARRANT OF ARREST, THEY KEEP LEAVING THE SAME THREATENING MESSAGE THE LAST 3 DAYS. SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM TO ME. WHY DON'T WE DO THE SAME FOR THEM AND ISSUE A WARRANT FOR THEIR ARREST FOR SCAM AND HARRASSMENT!!!

Just got a call for the same. Exact same thing

Just received a call threatening arrest, for unpaid taxes. Very similar to the others mentioned above. I did not answer the phone, as the number did not appear on the caller ID, only as unavailable.  I  too think it's a scam .

Even I am getting this scam calls threatening with arrest warrants for tax miscalculation from a guy named Peter. They don't know the address or don't have our details.
Stop this guys frm Calling!!

Got a call on 10/28/2013, robo call claiming a tax issue and arrest.  Clearly a scam.  Caller ID showed no number, "unknown caller", but this is the number left on the message.  Somebody arrest these crooks!

Called last night and left a message threatening with an arrest warrant and legal action again unpaid taxes - I do not have any unpaid taxes. I am in good tax standing both on the State and Federal level. When attempting to call this number back, it states the number is not in service. Something about this is fishy.

This sounds like it is a scam of some sort.
