347-809-5928

Claimed they were from IRS, but had foreign accents that didnt match their scam names.  Tried telling me i owe $497 for 2013 taxes.  I asked for it in writing and to talk to someone who actually sounds like they are from IRS.  They threatened me with arrest and canceling accounts and such.

Left a message on my phone that IRS is filing a lawsuit against me and that I need to call 347-809-5928 for more info on my case. However no case number.

Must call back...IRS "filing a lawsuit".

Got same message, "IRS is filing a lawsuit against you... please call number... and something about them trying to contact me and this being a final notice"

It was a recorded type message, not a real voice...

Threatening message left on my phone that IRS is filing a lawsuit against me and that I need to call 347-809-5928 for more info on my case. However no case number.

Recorded message saying it was a final notice from the IRS and they have been trying to contact me.  The call said a lawsuit was being filed and I should call this 347 number for information on my case file.

I can not even begin to start with how many holes there are in such claims and how completely and utter BS this call is and how fraudulent.  Please if anyone gets a call from this number just ignore it, it is a scam.

Left a message I was being sued, didn't say by who and call this number 3478095928

Thank you for your post. Even though this call was ridiculous I was honestly freaked out when I got it. Now that I see there are others that received it and your words of ignore it, it is a scam. I feel much better. Thanks

Like above, got a call stating it was a final notice and they IRS was filing lawsuit.  I did call back to see if it was the IRS offices and it was not.  Foreign accent so I hung up.

I received a computer voice call stating that I was being sued by IRS and was given 347-809-5928 to call in regards to it. When you call that number it hangs up on you. Who ever is sending these calls should be charged with prank calling. This goes beyond the usual prank calling. Completely messed up for anyone to do this.

These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement.

If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.
It's a phone scam.In fact, it tops the IRS "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams this year, and it's been surging in recent months, the agency said Thursday.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, has received reports of 290,000 scam calls since October 2013 and said nearly 3,000 victims have been swindled out of $14 million so far.

By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.

Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.

They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.

Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.

The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.

If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.

I too received a computer activated voice message from this individual claiming to be the IRS and had attempted several times to contact me.  Said I owed money, of which I don't.  I might have been freaked out if I hadn't seen this exact scam talked about on the news three days ago.   Caller ID said Private Number.  They gave 347-809-5928 as the callback number.  Nothing but a scam.

Got the bogus IRS threatening voice mail today.  Will forward the phone number to my Congressman.

>> Will forward the phone number to my Congressman.  <<

Um ...
What do you expect that to do, other than tie up your congressperson's phone?

How about YOU solving the problem YOURSELF, by using a phone blocker?

"IRS must call immediately, filing lawsuit against you"  same number 347 809 5928, automated message...SCAM!

I received the same "going to get sued" message.  The frustration came when I tried to report it to my carrier.  They treated me like I was the scammer, and forget trying to get to the real IRS.

The phone rang, I picked it up and I heard a voice ( sounded like a prerecorded message) that said...
This is the IRS and you need to call the number 347-809-5928 immediately . I know that some scammers are using the  IRS to scare people and did not call back.

Recorded message, claiming being the IRS and that this messages my last message and that I should call this number before I was sued by the IRS

got the same call stating it was a final notice and they IRS was filing lawsuit
