360-356-1015

Must be a robo call since no mo robo kept my phone from ringing

This number called my house claiming to be the IRS. Machine telling me I need to call them back, even though I answered the phone.

Message left said it was to inform me that the IRS is planning to sue me, and to call back to that number for further details.  It was a female voice with no name identification.

Yes, the IRS calling indeed. Called back to find out who was the joker.

If the IRS were to contact anyone, it would send a letter.

Have been receiving calls for approximately 3 days now stating it's the IRS and they are suing. Never mention a name of who is being sued.

I received two calls today stating they are IRS and they are suing me.  When I answered first time the recorded message kept going.

Same message about the IRS, but the message had started before my machine started recording.  I'm not sure what the beginning of the message said.  It was definitely a robo voice.  Kind of unnerving the first time you hear it.  By the third time it is just annoying.

Transcript of the message left. Clearly BS.

Hey a final notice from IRs Internal revenue services the reason of this call is to inform you that I rs is filing lawsuit against you to get more information about this case file. Please call immediately on our department number 360-356-1015. I repeat 360-356-1015. Thank you?

This is a scam that has been documented.   These people even have the last four digits of your social.  If you are really concerned call the actual IRS.  They are the lowest of the low

As TIGTA Continues To Warn On IRS Scams, New Treasury Scams Surface

Over the past two years, nearly 4,550 victims have collectively paid over $23 million to scammers posing as Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials. Since October 2013, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has received reports of roughly 736,000 contacts made to taxpayers demanding that they send them cash via prepaid debit cards.

J. Russell George, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, assured taxpayers that his office was actively pursuing those involved in the fraud, reassuring taxpayers, “We have made progress in our investigation of this scam, resulting in the successful prosecution of some individuals associated with it over the past year. This summer, a ringleader was sentenced to more than 14 years in federal prison. However, this is still a matter of high investigative priority, and we will not rest until all individuals associated with this fraud have been brought to justice.”

But even as TIGTA notes that it continues to receive reports of thousands those bogus calls every month, stories are circulating suggesting that the scam is widening. Scammers are changing tactics and making calls purporting to be directly from the U.S. Treasury. There are a few variations on this scam. In one version, scammers advise that an individual has been awarded a grant or a similar sum of money and in order to collect, the individual needs to provide personal information or a sum of money to “release” the funds. It sounds a little bit like those lottery scams making the rounds but the use of the name of the Office of the Treasury seems to make individuals believe that it’s more legitimate. It is not. TheTreasury advises that it does not have such a program. Further, the Treasury says:

Quote:
Recently we’ve found a twist on these scams, where the email, letter or phone call actually claims to be from the Treasury Inspector General, Eric M. Thorson. Some have convincing details about his career, appear to be on Treasury letterhead, and have links to email addresses such as ericthorson.oig@usa.com. These are frauds. Do not believe them, and do not respond to them. Please send them to OIGCounsel@oig.treas.gov; we will work to shut them down.

Another version of a Treasury scam involves a caller falsely representing that he is from Office of the Treasury and demanding payment or information (just like those bogus IRS calls). These callers have been described as threatening or abusive, and tell victims they need to make immediate payment to forestall arrest. Again, Treasury advises that these calls are frauds.

An even more sophisticated scam effort attempts to convince individuals to buy fraudulent promissory notes and/or private bonds. Some involve what are alleged to be Treasury issued or backed securities. Examples of those fake securities include “Limited Edition” Treasury Securities, One Year “Fresh Cut” Treasury bills; “U.S. Dollar Bonds”; Fraudulent “Federal Notes” or “Bonds” (also called “Morganthaus”); and “Defacto” Treasury Securities. To make it sound more legitimate, scammers may use routing numbers from Treasury bureaus, specifically the Financial Management Service (FMS) and the Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD), or a Federal Reserve bank, to make the false notes appear genuine. Don’t be fooled. If you hear these terms, be aware that they are all bogus securities.

Finally, those “redemption” or “acceptance for value” schemes are also completely fraudulent. In these schemes, scammers assert that the United States government has trust accounts linked to each citizen. Promoters tell potential victims that they can gain access to the funds – and discharge their debts – by issuing forms 1099-OID to their creditors. This scam is perpetually on the list of Dirty Dozen scams issued by IRS.

Be smart. There is no magical form or security that will make you rich. The government isn’t holding secret money in your name and no phone call, email or seminar can produce details that say otherwise.

Similarly, the IRS or Treasury won’t be calling you and asking you to provide personal financial information, including PINs and account numbers, over the phone.

Call claiming to be from IRS are ALWAYS fake because IRS never calls - they send a letter.

I just got a call from this number stating the following...

"Final notice from IRS Internal Revenue services the reason of this call is to inform you that IRS is filing lawsuit against you to get more information about this case file. Please call immediately on our department number 360-356-1015. I repeat 360-356-1015. Thank you"

Received call from "Eric White" from "IRS Internal Revenue services ", threatening suit was being filed against me for nonpayment of taxes.  The phone number is from Washington State (not Washington DC)  he demanded payment of $2500 to stop the proceedings.  I have posted online with the IRS Telephone Scam hot line, also.  Neither I nor my tax accountant have ever been notified of any tax issues.

Received an anonymous, automated voicemail this morning informing me that the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me. The voicemail came from this number in Vancouver, Washington (360-356-1015, which it also directed me to call back), but the call itself appeared to come from a number in Hungary (36 03561015). Not sure how one can receive a call from one location and a voicemail from another, but there you are.

I actually called these idiots back.  Each time I called (I called twice)and got a human they answered in an accented voice saying "IRS" and then when I explained the reason for my call they hung up.  The second one wanted to know if I got the call on my home or cell.  Since I was calling on a VOIP they couldn't work whatever scam they intended.  Dumb MOFOS

2 calls from this number this morning.  First one I picked up and got the robo female voice about the IRS lawsuit against me.  Got a good laugh.  The second time I didn't bother to answer, since I was on another call and knew about this being a scam, by reading this website and seeing complaints from others.  Checked my voicemail afterwards, the tail end of the robo female voice was there again asking me to call the department at this number.

Started calling me this morning 11/03/15.  Have received three calls already all of which I ignored.  However, my phone does voice to text msg so I can see that they are saying that the IRS is trying to sue me (or whoever's phone number they are calling).  Glad I knew that the IRS only contacts you via US Mail.

I received 2 of these calls today. I am on the do not call list. Claims I am being sued by the IRS.

Arrived home to find 2 identical messages "from the IRS suing me in Federal Court. MUST call back this number immediately. ...blah, blah, blah" Never mentioned who they were calling for.  Female robo voice.  ...rot in hell, evil jackholes!

Getting these calls daily - same threat of IRS lawsuit as previous complaints. saw this scam alert on my local news few days ago so was aware.
