360-244-4585

IRS lawsuit scam phone call received on 4/17/15 with the callback number given as 360-244-4585.  My phone showed the caller was from CO but the internet shows the number in Longview, WA.  Similar numbers on this site report the same message and scam.  I didn't call the number back.  Other sites show the number and many similar to it under the carrier Level (3).

IRS lawsuit scam phone call...recording states "this is your final notice...you are being sued by the IRS." The call back number is 360-244-4585. Did not call the number because it was obviously a scammer.

they are brave, they have called out cell numbers and house number and have even left us a message on our answering service that this is the irs, call back number 360-244-4585.  I will take it as a scam as I called the IRS and there call volumn is so full, they hung up and said try again tomorrow

Wish the feds would out some of our tax dollars to good use and put an end to this shiz.  The caller yesterday threatened arrest and deportation.  Seriously??  My family has been in this country since 1881!  The recorded message today threatens a lawsuit.  Go for it - I'm a paralegal so I certainly know my way around the court system and how to find good representation.  I say let's get together and track down these asshats and slowly torture them.

IRS ...scam....Don't call back..just report it.

IRS lawsuit phone call...recording states "this is your final notice...you are being sued by the IRS." The call back number is 360-244-4585.

They left message from private blocked number about the IRS filing lawsuit and to call number back, when I did they said they had been trying to reach me but had failed and said the is was filing a lawsuit against me that the police were on their way to my home to arrest me and that my bank accounts were now frozen.  They said I owed b $4689.52 that needed to be paid immediately for back taxes from audited years 2008-2012. The gentleman just kept repeating himself when I tried to ask questions and was acting very short with me even started yelling at me. BIG TIME SCAM! The IRS does not call, they send letters through the mail and when speaking to them will give their badge or I'd number so you can verify them. This person answered the phone with hello not irs...... you can hear what sounds like call center in background

I received this ridiculous call also. I just report it to help people not be a victim. It's a scam.

I got a call from a blocked number telling me that this is your final notice...you are being sued by the IRS. They left the number. So I called it-but I did the star 67, so they couldn't see my number, I knew it had to be a scam, but wanted to see what they'd say. A guy answered and I could hear voices in the background, like a call center. I said I got a call from this number--he said we didn't call you. I told him the message I got and he then said, we didn't f****** call you b****.  I hung up. I'm going to report them.

My answering machine recorded this message from a computer voice:
"Hello, we have been trying to reach you.
This call is officially a final notice from IRS (Internal Revenue Services).
The reason for this call is to inform you that IRS is filing a law suit against you.
To get more information about this case file, call 360-244-4585"
Notice that the caller defines IRS as  Internal Revenue Services, and not Internal Revenue Service.
Another clue is that I was not personally identified.
I did not call them back.

I received the same call numerous times on my cell phone & it is very disturbing!  Why can't someone put a stop to 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.
