Scam artist claiming to be IRS agent and I was subject of lawsuit. Called twice today within 2 hours. Recording of male Indian or Pakistani......Yeah right. I'll be calling them back. I wish them luck if they call with a real person instead of a robodialer.

Third call today from a foreigner (Indian) claiming the IRS has filed a lawsuit against me.  I never answer the phone when I do not know the number.  Funny, the first call from the Washington DC area, now from the state of Washington.  
BEWARE....no doubt it is 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.

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:

I too got a similar message twice.

Same here. 206-258-7932
Hung up the first time since I know the IRS does not call. I listened all the way through the second time. He ended with something like:
If you do not return the call I wish you good luck when all of this comes down on you.

This person called me. I didn't recognize the number so I didn't pick up. The perso. Left a voice mail. I got sort of freaked out because I knew I have been paying my taxes and I knew nobody that would file a lawsuit against me. I showed it to some people that I knew. They all said it was a prank call. I did a lot of Internet research on it and after finding this page, I was SO relieved to find that it was just a prank. DO NOT FALL FOR IT LIKE I ALMOST DID!

I meant *the person left a voice mail*
