IRS ?  Lawsuit

No!!  The IRS mails letters if there is a problem.  Ignore the scammer!

Left msg on answering machine saying they are the IRS and are filing a lawsuit against me and to call immediately.

Received call re. Irs lawsuit

Got two of these irs scam calls today. If you too are receiving these bs calls, try blocking the number. If you have Comcast phone, pick up receiver to get dial tone then press *60 and follow the prompts.

Also got 2 robo calls today saying it was the IRS and threatening a lawsuit.

I got a call today and didn't answer. They left a VM saying lawsuit and their callback number. I immediately added to blocker list.

Got to calls today saying the Internal Revenue Services (Services? At least get the name right) is going to be filing a lawsuit against us).

I love that it's a guy with a heavy Indian accent -- like that makes the scam any more believable. I told him what he could do with his mother. Got them to hang up on me.

scam call about IRS lawsuit

Scammers with bad grammar lol.
IRS is file lawsuits against you.

Message is automated saying to call immediately.  No intention of calling the number.  Alvin, TX on caller ID

They had me going for a minute but taking tax classes had me thinking. The thick Indian accent was pretty good tip off. Didn't like it when I said I would fight it in court. Thanks to the other who posted.

Just took that call also. Recorded message saying IRS is going to file lawsuit.
YES IRS always corresponds via US MAIL this is a scam

Just got the same automated call as all of you. Hope the [***] doing this are caught and imprisoned in India--soon!

Robo call claiming to be the irs.

Got the same call.  The ROBO call left two messages on my home line.  We just had thisin installed a month ago!  Thank you everyone.  I am not calling back.

Can you believed they called back again with the same message. WOW!!!

They keep calling saying they are from the IRS and that I am going to have a lawsuit filed against me. When I call the number it is someone with a very harsh Indian accent and I can't understand very much what they say they keep saying something about the IRS and want my phone number which I don't give to them and then they say why are you calling me if you don't want me to help you and then they hang up

TREASURY INSPECTOR GENERAL FOR TAX ADMINISTRATION (TIGTA)
Inspector General George noted that the scam has hit taxpayers in every State in the country. Callers claiming to be from the IRS tell intended victims they owe taxes and must pay using a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer. The scammers threaten those who refuse to pay with immediate arrest, deportation or loss of a business or driver’s license.

The IRS usually first contacts people by mail – not by phone – about unpaid taxes. And the IRS won’t ask for payment using a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer. The IRS also won’t ask for a credit card number over the phone.

“If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and uses threatening language if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling,” George said.

The callers who commit this fraud often:

Utilize an automated robocall machine.
Use common names and fake IRS badge numbers.
May know the last four digits of the victim’s Social Security Number.
Make caller ID information appear as if the IRS is calling.
Send bogus IRS e-mails to support their scam.
Call a second or third time claiming to be the police or department of motor vehicles, and the caller ID again supports their claim.
If you get a call from someone claiming to be with the IRS asking for a payment, here’s what to do:
If you owe Federal taxes, or think you might owe taxes, hang up and call the IRS at 800-829-1040. IRS workers can help you with your payment questions.
If you don’t owe taxes, fill out the “IRS Impersonation scam” form on TIGTA’s website, www.treasury.gov/tigta or call TIGTA at 800-366-4484.
You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at www.FTC.gov. Add “IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.
