Robo call: The IRS is going to sue me, blah, blah

Note: this is not how the IRS does business.

Caller ID came up "Out of Area"

Ditto as Bill's message above...

Got a voice mail from someone claiming to be from IRS. Say they are going to file a lawsuit against me. Don't fall for their scam

Same as above

got  Call stating IRS is suing me.

Same call yesterday

I received the same call about 20 minutes ago. A voicemail was left so I called back. A gentleman with a thick accent began talking. He asked me for my name and I replied to them "if your the IRS and suing me wouldn't you know my name" he couldn't give me no explaination so I hung up.

I just called this number back after I received the same voicemail number.  The guy had the same thick accent.  He asked me to confirm my name and asked if I resided at an address I hadn't lived at for awhile.  He stated the IRS doesn't have the new information. I just said well I filed my taxes with my current address for the past 6 years.  He said because the IRS didn't have the correct address it wouldn't count against me.  I then just said he needed to hold on and hung up on him.

I just hung up with them also and yes a man with a very heavy thick accent answered and his name was Jeramaih James, ID 568852 gave me 1 hour to come up with $$ otherwise I would be sued by the IRS.  I was going to get some $$ to pay but after reading this I think I'm going to take my chances considering that I was a victim of Identity theft and my 2013 taxes were returned to me as someone else had already filed with my information.

Nothing will happen. All meaningless threats aimed to scare you.

told them that I worked for the IRS and the sec of treasury said we did not do that and he said they started last year.  Told them I would let Jack know and asked for his name - heavy foreign accent - Marvin Clark.  LOL

Called saying the IRS had a lawsuit against me with a thick accent stating he was the IRS and his name is Jerimiah James ID 568852 and I had to pay $5,000  back to the IRS and if not I was going to get arrested and a warrant issue for my arrest. Then he transfer me to his supervisor Susan L ID IRM40391067, and she stated I had to go to the bank and deposit the money in a IRS account and had to do it with her on the phone couldn't disconnect the call if not they had to pursuit with the lawsuit against me, and I was going to be billed with the courts fees.

Same as above- Received a voice message stating it was a final notice from the IRS and that they were suing me. I called back and spoke with a 'Rebecca Cooper'. I said I had received a call and wanted to know what was going on. She told me her name and quickly followed with an ID number. I asked what company she worked for. She told me she didn't work for a company, repeated her name and then said she works for the "Internal Revenue Service". I told her I'd like to speak to her supervisor and she said if I had any questions I could ask her and to go ahead. I said "Great, I'll ask them to your supervisor. Thanks." And was promptly hung up on.

Straight from the IRS:

They said they were from the IRS and that they filed a lawsuit against me. I called back and a man told be to go "f..." myself. The 1st lady I spoke gave me a name and badge # (Carol Brown, 56284).  I'm sure the call came from some worthless person who sit around all day trying to scam innocent and vulnerable people.

Please people, don't respond to or entertain these types of calls. I worked in legal aide for years. Once they get your info I.e., bank info, personal info they got you. If they IRS is looking to sue anyone get will send you a letter, be it certified, or otherwise.  Believe me I have worked with many clients, particularly the elderly who were scammed by vultures and "poop on a shoe."

Total scam--these callers tend to pick on women, single mothers, the elderly and members of the immigrant community.  They are hard core Indian and Pakistani phone criminals.  IRS does not file lawsuits and does NOT initiate contact by phone. Hindi accent should be a dead giveaway.

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.

They left message saying their going to sue me "whatever"

This is a scam for the its to take your money.

I received a call from 346-229-9798.  He had a thick middle eastern/indian accent.  I answered the call to receive an automated message that the IRS was suing me.  I called back to a very angry person upset that I was asking for further information.  He said I had received two certified letters stating the lawsuit. He also informed me that a federal warrant had been issued for my arrest, and that a sheriff was on his way to my house.  I have been calling him every hour or so just to piss him off.
