Called... "Harry" from the IRS, Internal Revenue Services (duh, it's one, not plural). Said this was about a lawsuit. Total Scam!

Yeah this is some BS.  Do NOT give them any information.  When I demanded that they provide me with my SS#, he fumbled around and "Hmmed" and "Hawwd" until finally someone actually said "F**k you" to me and hung up.

IRS will ALWAYS send you something in writing.

message from IRS saying they were filing a law suit!  did not call it back, but has to be a scam

This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.
Read http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm

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 but not by calling them back directly (the number may be spoofed and repeat calls by you may - under exceptional circumstances- amount to harassment). 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:

Called back 202 697 9341 requesting first last name, employee #, same info for their manager ..... by this time they unhung up.  This is NOT the IRS and there is not law case against you.  I called several times and at this point no answer for the number just a busy signal.

Thank you RexIRS. I reported them per your instructions! You are awesome!

It's the IRS Scammers - Threatening with a Lawsuit and this was the Final notice. Didn't call back, hung up after the "threat."

As RexIRS points out, the IRS would not call first and certainly not threaten you in such a manner.

Go to prankowl.com everyday and send them a nice prank :)

Scam Message from IRS
They call every night even though I am on a Do Not Call List

So glad I found this website.  Just wanted to confirm it was a scam.  Live in White Lake, MI

Received a call earlier today. On the caller ID the identification is shown as Washington DC. I allowed the call to be be answered by our answering machine. The message left was:the IRS is filing a law suit against you and to call back. The message sounding as if it was computer generated /digital in a "female's" voice. I checked the IRS.gov site and looked into the "scams" sections and people seem to be reporting a lot of phone/phishing scams.

Rex, above, gave excellent advice and information concerning way to file a complaint. I wanted to add that you may be able to contact your service provider, give them the 202-696-9341 and request that they block the number for you. Having the number blocked by our phone company is free of charge, your phone won't ring at all, and I don't think there is a limit to the numbers one can block.

SCAM!!! Called stating IRS is filling lawsuit against me? Some Indian guy.

Computer generated "voice" also saying they are the IRS.  The IRS doesn't call, ever.  They show up at your house or send registered letter.  I know this for a fact.  Scammers!

Also received a computer generated call stating that they were the IRS and mentioned a law suit.  I just hung up..

I guess it is my turn today for these "Nuts" to call me!  Electronic message left stating it was the IRS and they had a lawsuit against me (however they left no name on the message who they were suing-hello).  Love sites like these where I can check out scammers.

Called stated they were from the IRS; I hung up immediately and blocked the number.

left no msg
