On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was left a message on my phone that stated they were from the IRS Fraud department and they were advising me that the IRS was filing a suit against me for defrauding the federal government. The message gave me a phone number to call and of course I needed to get information as to why I was being sued. When I called, the woman on the phone said that a yellow notice had been put on my door on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and that I had 19 days to respond. When I said I did n't get a notice on my door, she asked if I was calling her a liar and she said she had a picture of my house with the notice attached to my door. I asked what I had done wrong and she said " you know what you 've done between XXXX and XXXX '' and an officer would be at my door in XXXX minutes to arrest me, handcuff me and take me to jail. By then I thought I was going to lose it. She then said, that there was XXXX option she could offer me and would give me time and the arrest warrant could be stopped. She told me that I owed approximately {$4900.00} to the IRS. She said the time was ticking and that I needed to move fast. She had me go withdraw {$5000.00} in cash from my bank. She stayed on the line because she said she needed to give me further directions. She then asked me to go to the Wells Fargo Bank and make a deposit to a certain account number and gave me the name of the person it was going to. She said that if I was asked why I was sending this large amount, to say I was helping a sick friend. I ask why and she said that banks have to put a freeze on all my assets if they get the feeling that I was in trouble with the IRS. She had me deposit {$3000.00} that time. Then I was directed to get back in my car and she would give me further instructions. This time she told me to go back into the bank and deposit the other {$2000.00} to a different account number. She told me to go to a different teller so it wouldn ; 't look suspicious and to keep her on speaker phone. She said that was the only way that she could assure me to keep me out of jail and out of court. She then asked me to go to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX in XXXX, VA and have then email a copy of the XXXX receipts to XXXXXXXXXXXX. I told her I did n't know where that was so she instructed me to go to XXXX XXXX and have them email it. After that was done, she kept me on the line waiting for a confirmation number so that I could be sure that the attorney had cleared everything up. By time I realized that I had been scammed, it was too late. I could n't imagine how I was so stupid to fall for this scam. A report has been filed with the XXXX Police Department..
