fraud tax call

Yesterday I received a call on my answering machine that said that I owed money to collections for past taxes not paid. I was surprised by this because I didn't remebering owing anything but I own my own small business and I thought I might have missed something. I called back the # its 1-855-487-8483 it sounded like a legit government number I even had to hold to talk to someone. The person said asked for my phone number and said my name and address after I give it to him.. He said I owed $3000 in back taxes. It was a little rude so I asked to talk to his manager, he refused to let me talk to anyone else and told me the RCMP would be taking me to court for back taxes and coming to a arrest me in half an hour; I felt shocked and upset I told him I needed some more information from him and had to call him Back after talk to my husband. He gave me a bogus website name (which turned out to be a profanity ) and I hung up on him. My husband looked it up and found out the phone number was a scam. I'm usually not so gullible but I was quite upset by this call; be careful not to give out any personal information people I didn't give out anything that wasn't in the phone book. Also if it's a legit government site they will have your information you don't need to give it out.. Just warning everyone !
