253-292-3089

I.R.S. has tried to contact you ,this is our final attempt.a law suite wiil be filed against you,unless you call this number immediately.

Was a recorded message

Automated message stating that they were the IRS & sueing me & this is their final attempt. The IRS Has 800 numbers not numbers based out of Washington. I reported them to the FTC.

irs auto matic system, that they will sue me and if I don't pay and xxx amount they will send a sheriff to my house to arrest me

Same as above. Same recording same number.

I got an automated call as well, I hung up, irs uses 800 numbers not an open land line, I am no fool, and the FTC should look into this

Just tell them to send the sheriff . I"vet been waiting for a sheriff for about 6 years now . At home &a at work . It's all a scam

Two calls within the hour....253-292-3089...Critical message from the IRS...call immediately. I called back the 2nd time...he could barely speak English...I played along-his name was Jeff Johnson...after asking him to repeat many times, I told him the IRS doesn't call on the phone, & that they would'nt hire him. I then told him that he should check out who he's calling-that I was an attorney, had all the info I needed, & he better never call this # again. He replied "F-U" and I hung up!!!

Same number, same scam. IRS will not only call, but before they call they will send at least 2 letters detailing your situation and provide you with their contact number. IRS calls are a last resort.

2 calls in one day.  Said IRS filing a lawsuit.  Didn't even give a name of person they were leaving the message for.  Recording said to call 253-292-3089.  I called to tell them they had the wrong number, but got a fast busy.

Claiming to be the irs and i am being sued.

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