Told me they were from the IRS...Wanted their money now or else......I hung up...This was the second call in 2 days.....

Final notice that the IRS is bringing a lawsuit against me. Two calls in one day.

Called and left an electronic voicemail saying it was the "final notice" that the IRS is bringing a lawsuit against me. Riiiight. Deleted!

I got two messages from this saying the IRS is bringing a lawsuit against me. I called it back on the weekend and got a recording saying the person is not receiving messages, then a hangup.
