Is this IRS threatening a lawsuit.

Bogus IRS. Real one communicates by mail.

This is a threating call from the "IRS"  Ya right.  I tried calling back and only got a busy signal.

Just got a message stating IRS is lodging a law suit against...recipient not identified. When I called back on secure line without number, the phone rang and rang.  When I called back on my home phone, a man with an Indian accent answered by saying, "Hello" I told him I just received a call from this number stating it was from the IRS.  he said, "Yes, this is the IRS."  I told him I didn't believe him and will be reporting him and this number.  He stated he will be turning my number over to the FBI.

Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.   Block and ignore.   DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.   Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter.  But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters.  90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively.  IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes.  IRS has no powers of arrest.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of  money.  IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone.   IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case.  No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments.  Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but  usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement.    All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals.  All  contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

I just got the same call one hour ago, lol.

Someone saying they were the IRS and they had filed a lawsuit. Gave a number to call back. I knew it was  hoax.

I recived 2 threatening calls that the IRS has filed a law suit against me within 2 hours apart. I have blcoked the number after reading this was a scam. Do Not Return The Call

Had a message ... Same junk about a law suit IRS . I made the mistake of calling back just because & was told something about yrs 2009-2013 were not filed ... I knew it was a scam because the guy barely spoke English & made no sense

Thank you for posting this. I have had two calls from this number with the same message that the IRS is suing me. I appreciate your knowledge. Should this be reported to the IRS?

Computer generated voice saying IRS going to sue me.  Got similar call from a different number the other day about this too.  Never called them because I know this is a scam.
