IRS is filing lawsuit against me

I relieved a call at 7:25 am and they said " We are iRS filling lawsuit against you . Please call on this number . The number listed above.

Are they really though? I just got the same call. But when you call the number there is no answer. I think it's a scam. There's no reason for the IRS to file suit against me that I know of.

Received a call from "the IRS" who was filing suit.  When I called back, they had my actual name and associated telephone number.  But...when I asked several questions, they hung up.  I am a former IRS employee; the IRS doesn't call or email taxpayers for back tax issues; they write letters.

I received the call at 7:40 a.m. and I received a computer voice telling me that the IRS is filing suit against me. I know this is [***] because the IRS will not contact me by phone, only by mail. So this is definitely some type of scam. Don't fall for it. They are even sneaky enough to have the location designation for the number come back to Washington, DC.

This is a scam that has been occurring throughout the Northeast for the past we can half ignore it   If the iris wanted to file against you you would be notified by mail never by phone

IRS wanting to file a lawsuit against me, automated message.

I received a call from this number and the automated message system says, "we're filling a case against you". They don't even insert your name into the automated message.

I called the us district att in my state

Filing a lawsuit against me.  I want to report it but don't know where.  I know it's a scam.

Here are two pages of links to (mostly government) sites in Canada and the USA were you can report phone scams, or learn more about them.

Look here first:

If the reporting site you wanted is not in the above list, try this one:

Call us district att

Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.  Tell 'em  no scammy debt collector is going to push you around.

You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking).   the only thing they understand.

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.

Total scam.  See my entry.

Called during night threatening IRS action. Final notice.  Caught me off guard. No answer on call back. Blocked now.

I received an automated message from this number, claiming that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me and telling me to call this number.  This is a scam, so please do not be fooled.  See this article on the FTC's website: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/fake-irs-collectors-are-calling.  The funniest part about this, to me, is that I received my federal refund by direct deposit yesterday.  (I also recall having received similar scam calls in past years).

Call 202-817-7546 and give your claim number. we are calling from the IRS with an important matter on a debt you owe the US government

Why we do not inform the FBI and they are responsible for putting this people behind bars, these unfortunate upset and try to steal money. This is a crime.

Unfortunately the thieves are NOT in the USA.  They're in India or Pakistan.
