<prompt> Human: I got a call from a restricted number this morning which I did not answer. A voicemail was left by an automated voice saying, essentially, that tax fraud had been committed in my name and that the US treasury department would be filing charges against me and that I would go to jail unless I called them back at the provided number. I tried calling the IRS directly this morning but the call volume was too high and I was disconnected. Of course this feels like a scam to me, but its still scary to hear that. Im going to call the IRS back in a bit but is there anything else I should do? Is there any other way to verify that this is a scam?  <response>: Note that the IRS will never: Threaten to immediately bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying. In addition, IRS does not threaten taxpayers with lawsuits, imprisonment or other enforcement action.Scam.
