Automated msg saying there is an IRS is filing a lawsuit against me? I did not call back and engage on this scam

Got a call, claiming from IRS - mentioned that IRS is going to sue me. Prompted to call by a robot. Out of curiosity called back. Busy signal.

recording said the IRS has been trying to get in touch with me , they are suing me ??? and to return their call @ 509-872-5501, didnt call back

got a recorded message that they (did not identify who "they" was) were filing a law suit against me and the return number to call for "more information" was 509-872-5501.

It is a scam, claiming to be from the IRS. We called our local sheriff, and reported the scam to them.

Got a call from this number saying that the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me.

Called me at 12:11PM today.  A recording, in a woman's voice, came on before my answering machine even had time to get through the "greeting."  The message begins with the phrase "Internal Revenue Services.". Then it says the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me, & "to get more information about this case file, please call immediately on our department number," & the phone number is given twice--same number that shows on my caller ID.  Message ends with "Thank you."  Message sounds like fluent English speaker (American English), but there are a couple of spots where the phrasing/spacing isn't what I'd expect, & minor wording differences that sound unusual to me--such as, "The reason 'of' this call" rather than "The reason 'for' this call; "Internal Revenue Services" (plural); &, when repeating the number for me to call, not even a tiny hint of a space between the word 'repeat' & the '5' that's the beginning of the phone number : "I repeat509-872-5501."  Caller ID says, "Pullman WA" . . . many states away from me.  I will be reporting this one, too, to the FTC.  Sic 'em!!!

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

Received a call from 509-872-5501 at 7:48 am on August 13th 2015. Voice mail left stated IRS is filing lawsuit against me and to call 509-872-5501 for more information regarding this.

Sounds bogus to me and very similar to the Indian - IRS scam not too long ago.

Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.   Block and ignore.   DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.   Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter.  But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters.  90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively.  IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes.  IRS has no powers of arrest.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of  money.  IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone.   IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case.  No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments.  Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but  usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement.    All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals.  All  contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

Got the call, called back and told them to send the paper work....they hung up haha

I received a landline call from the "IRS" saying I was being sued. Even had a case number for me. I was to call back. I laughed and am ignoring the call. Local TV stations have been warning about these calls and them being a SCAM.

Automated call saying call an area code "509" number or the IRS will file suit.  Scam program reported extensively in the media.
