"IRS is filing lawsuit against you" - sounds like a phishing message!

Got a call at 7:30 this morning.  Ignored it because no number showed on caller id, just said unknown.  They left a message saying IRS I'd filing suit against me and to call them back at the#above.  Didn't call them back, and won't as 1. The IRS sends you letters through the mail.  2. No legit business calls before 8, it's a law.

Even I got a call from above number on 09/23 at 10:44am. Exactly same message above but ignored it because IRS will not call you from unknown numbers. They mail you.

I received a robo-call saying the "...IRS will be filing a lawsuit against me. Call 202-241-0642 immediately." I know it's a fake. Did a check on this number, and it's been traced to an address in the midwest. The IRS always sends mail, never a phone call. Legal matters are always handled by mail. It's the law, period.

Got message to call... didn't do it... scam...IRS goes through the mail not phone

The message says I am being sued by the IRS. I did not respond.

This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.

As general background information, here are a few things you can do:
1) Report it to TIGTA under http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml especially if you have become a victim (lost money, gave personal information etc.). You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint (include “IRS Telephone Scam" in your complaint). This way you can also help the government establish specific fraud patterns.

2) Help kill their phone lines. The scammers use Voice over IP lines (e.g. magicJack (Ymax corporation)) to make it seem as if they are calling from the US. This is always against these companys' terms of service and can lead to immediate termination of their contract and blocking of their IP addresses for future attempts to register. Do a reverse look up of their telephone number (e.g. www.whitepages.com) to identify the Voice over IP provider and report it to the company and/or law enforcement (local police and/or state attorney general)

3) If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction and provide US law enforcement agencies with the political backing and the resources they need to work in India and Pakistan together with local authorities (it can happen, read: http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ex-call-cen ... mmission-320427). A US task force has already been set up in Jamaica to nab scammers there (see http://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/library/reports/cornerstone/cornerstone7-1.pdf). You can use the following template for your letter (more powerful!) or email:

Received same message as recorded message, this scam has been ongoing for quite long time, it used to be the voice of someone who is Indian with heavy accent, then the scammers tried to make it different by having others who speaks better English, one time the guy said "North Caroleeena[ so funny, and now they hire women to record the message. It is a scam, IRS don't call but send official letter, IRS warns about this since April 2014, here is the link:

robocall on my cell from UNKNOWN number (202-241-0642) caller ID said "UNKNOWN" on Thursday 9-25-14 at 914 AM

missed this call.
female voice for this SCAMMER left the following voice mail on my cell phone =
"Internal Revenue Services. The reason of this call is to inform you that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against you. To get more information about this case file, please call immediately on our department number 202-241-0642.
I repeat 202-241-0642. Thank You."

This has been all over our local TV news recently about this IRS lawsuit SCAM.

Someone from 202-241-0642 called my parents and said that IRS is filing a lawsuit against them and that they need to call this number back.  It is a fraud.   IRS sends letter via US mail if there's an issue.  Urge them to report fraud to police.

Same crank call message 2022410642; called back African voice; repeated several times either pay to us or IRS will imprison you as a part of the charges.

caller ID showed 000-001-0150 with a (machine) female voice warning that IRS filed lawsuit against me... not calling back as IRS will notify individual by mail if auditing before filing lawsuit... definitely scam

Same as above reports...they couldn't even use complete sentences!!!

I got the same robo-call today in Pasadena CA.  The message had two grammatical errors.  IRS always writes to you, usually several times over several months, even years, before they sue you in tax court.

I have received a call from 202-241-8373 this morning around 9:13am.  said that IRS filling a lawsuit against me so they want me to call their dept. 202-241-8373 immediately

I got a call from 20071 (not even a complete number) the recording said I was being sued by IRS... This is scam, Correct?

Rec'd call but told to call 202 864-1136 IRS is filing lawsuit against me.  HA!

I got a call from the 505 number saying to call this one twice...

Automated voice message saying IRS had a law suit against me.  I was to call this number

Automated message, saying the IRS is suing me. Please call back .( It sounded blurry). Julie smith
Also blurry call back number 202-864-1324
