Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.

I received a message with a computerized voice saying that the IRS opening a suit.  I do not think it is valid because when I called the number, there was no answer and no recording.  Also the computerized voice did not identify me by name it just said "the IRS is opening a suit against you".  Number  206 501 3133

IRS Calling...think it is a scam!

http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml is the website to report all such scams

I received the call at 10:33 AM today (Monday, January 26, 2015) regarding "final notice: for a lawsuit being filed against me. (or one of the 3 adults in this household?)  Indications are that this is a scam or prank but I don't find it very funny.

Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.

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. It has no powers of arrest.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  IRS does not cold call anyone and ask for money. 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.

Caller informed us of pending IRS law suit against us. And for us to immediately call 206-501-3133. We will continue to ignor these calls

I got a message from this number. It was a digitized voice and said this is the final notice. They are going to file suit if I don't call them at 206-501-3133.  I hope anyone who believes this could be true checks out the number first.  It is a big-time scam that's been going on for a couple of years.  

This is just one of many extortion scams which have evolved with the explosion of technology during the past decade. From "Hopkins Law" to the "DEA" to the "IRS", the goal is the same: Terrorize someone into paying a nonexistent debt.

Well you all are in good company the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me too ...... party after court???

Said they were the IRS..... About a lawsuit against me.... On my answering machine

Wife got a call from this scam number claiming to be the IRS with a case against us. Told her they wouldn't contact us by phone first, and besides, they spoke using bad grammar (What would you expect from a nincompoop scammer?)  Appreciate this site. Has saved me a lot of grief.

received a call purportedly from IRS "official final notice of lawsuit"
We are not in litigation - this is a scam
