Lots of scammers working with spoofed TX phone numbers yesterday.  This lame attempt left a completely unintelligible message (electronic voice) on my answering machine.

Called today and left a incomplete message. I called the # and a man with a foreign accent answered as the IRS.
I hung up and did a search on #.  BS.

Automated message saying it was a final notice from the IRS that they were filing a lawsuit against me.

Left message that IRS is filing a lawsuit against me.

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.

Caller left message saying that IRS was filing a lawsuit - this is a scam - has been reported to TIGTA.

Called claiming to be the IRS and said they are filing a law suit against me.  Very menancing and threatening voice.

Voicemail from (830) 326-4358
"Internal Revenue Service. The reason of this call is to inform you that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against you to get more information about this case file. Please call immediately on our department number 830-326-4358. I repeat 830-326-4358. Thank you."

Swindler claiming to be a lawsuit from the IRS.

Automated message stating that they are the IRS and that I am being sued. I then called the number back, got some Indian guy on the line, and told him he was not the IRS and to stop calling. He then proceeded to call me a mother f**ker.   Nice.

I received the same message about a call from the IRS filing a lawsuit against me. I probably pay more in taxes then anyone should have to so I'm not concerned. If it is legit bring it on!!!!!!!!! BUT don't forget to get proof in writing. DO NOT give out any information.

Got a call on 10/20/15.  Much like the others.  Left answering machine message that IRS would sue us.  We called back and they threatened that a police officer would be sending a summons in 20 minutes.  When accused of being a scam, they hung up.  Spoke to both male and female operators with Indian accent.  Reported to TIGTA.  Thanks Alfalfa
