425-298-9548

I did.  I think it is a scam.

robo call saying, "Before we send we bill as a legal manner and send this case to the local courthouse, please call us back 425-298-9548."    I did actually try to call them out of curiosity and their voice mail box is full and can't take anymore messages.

same here

I received a similar call.  When I called back a recorded announcement said that it was the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS, when a representative answered I told him about the message I had received.  He asked for my name and I hesitated because I could hear background noise similar to a call center.  I told him that I did not believe that he was a representative of the IRS and he hung up.

The scammers just trying a new twist on an old trick. Do not give them any info, in fact do not call them.

The IRS would pepper you with paper notices prior to any legal action.

Probably some Nigerian thugs.

Getting same message "Before we send we bill as a legal manner and send this case to the local courthouse, please call us back 425-298-9548." ... Tried to call back several times and got robo message that whoever ( Jack Cooper) it was was not there...it was 5 min after they called and 2:20 in the afternoon.  Sounds like a scam

I did guys name was Shawn Davis from irs told his ass off. When I called back I got the voice mail of jack cooper.

Sounds like a scam..."Before we send we bill as a legal manner and send this case to the local courthouse, please call us back 425-298-9548."  

It is a scam:

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail tophishing@irs.gov.

We had a call from the number today. I'll find a payphone and call then back. ;)

Definitely a scam.  The same technique and recording is used each time.  Can you imagine for a second that the IRS would use an exact recording to threaten everyone?  That alone should set off a red flag.  I am just upset that thugs like these aren't busted and punished; can't imagine how many innocent people got scared or scammed by them.

IRS they should at least know how to speak English!  I called local police and IRS  info hot line as listed above. these scum bags need to be punished.

On two occasions now I have received a phone call from someone claiming to be the IRS.  The first time my daughter in law talked to them.  The second time they called it was a recorded message.  I am also on the do not call list.  The number they tell you to call is 425-298-9548

I got the same exact message.  I called back got Jack Cooper's voice mail.  Did a reverse lookup and it says its in Kirkland, WA.  Sounds like a scam to me also.

call from this number twice this morning saying a law suit was filed in our name and to call before they contact the courthouse.

3-4 times per day I get this annoying phone call from Matt Kerser I return the can and the mailbox is always full. This cr4ap needs to stop.

I also keep receiving voice mails from 425-298-9548 telling me to call them.  I want them to stop.  I finally called and got the voice mail of Jack Cooper. I did not leave a message.  

I called them back today and got a recording for Majic Jack.com  and that this number was not yet activated.

The only way to go out for your time
