917-720-3235

Robocall said I was being sued by the IRS.  Obviously scam.

I also received a call almost an hour ago from this number let voicemail pick it up and it said the same thing the IRS is suing  you it seems if it were true there would be a letter by mail plus wouldn't they mention who is being sued in the first place??

Call from 917-720-3235, let answering machine handle it. Caller claimed to be from IRS and said the call was to inform me that the IRS was suing me. This is so dumb and don't even bother. The IRS mails all of their threats, so just disregard this stupid phone spammer.

Caller said that the IRS is suing us.
I'm reporting this number to the Authorities today.  Scammers Beware!!!

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.

You're right.  This is a total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.

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.

left phone number to call back

I got a call from this number within the hour..saying that we are being sued..last week got a call saying my husbands name and that  we owe $4890 some dollars and they wanted me to make arrangements over the phone to pay...they said they sent something in mail and we probably weren't home..phone # 818-937-1186.he said his name was Nick Love???from Department of Legal Affairs and were to contact him or have our lawyer contact them....

Don't bother calling.  They are thieves in India or Pakistan & have nothing to do with our tax system.

Tamianth & CWG40 have excellent advice above your comment.

My was out of the house when my answering machine picked up a call. I listened to the call and the recording a woman said the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me and to call as soon as possible. I live in the Joplin, Missouri area.

Message left saying IRS is filing a lawsuit against me. To get more info, call the number 917-720-3235. They left same message 2 times about 3 hrs apart. I have no intention of returning this call. I understand this is not how IRS notifies you.

A robot called us 2x within 3 hrs with the same IRS suing scam, left some numbers. I'm sick and tired of these kind of calls!
Both calls went on our machine.

Such a ridiculous call...Why would IRS sue me, when I got a large refund from them????

Same thing, irs saying they are suing on a voicemail. I did not call back & will not either.

Robocall stating that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me & to get more info on this case file please call immediately on their department number 917-720-3235.

Same thing...IRS suing me.Seems all we get anymore is aggravating robo call garbage.Wish there was some way to end all this crap once and for all.

We have discovered some extremely successful methods to stop receiving =all= calls to your phone.

1) If you have a landline, find the phone's drain line that runs from each phone to a socket in the wall.  Unplug the drain lines from all your phones, and leave them unplugged for at least three months.  During that time, you will receive no irritating calls, as all the numbers flow out of the phone, via the drain system.  If you plug in the drain lines after three months, and start to get calls, repeat the solution, but wait six months.

2) If you have a cellular phone (one that works by radio waves), recognize that radio waves do not easily pass through salt water.  Try this:
a) Find an unused commode in your house.
b) Remove the big porcelain cover from the "tank".
c) Add two pounds of salt granules
d) Stir well, to dissolve the salt
e) Drop your cell phone in the tank
f) Replace the tank cover
g) Do not flush the tank for one week

This process acts almost immediately.  Usually, after a very short time, the cellular will cease receiving calls.  As a free added bonus, it will also stop sending calls. However, to be 100% safe, leave the phone in the salt water, and go outside to "do your duty" while the solution works on your phone.

Alternately, to block most irritating calls; obtain a call blocking device, app or service, and learn how to use it.

I received a call stating that I needed to call the following number (917) 720-3235 immediately, reason claimed the IRS is suing me. Sorry but this smacks of a crank call. The IRS does not place telephone calls like this, if there was any issue with an account you would receive a letter directly from the IRS. With instructions.

Had 2 messages about 3 hours apart stating I was being sued by the IRS and to call them.  Scam.

got same call, couldn't understand caller's thick accent very well...claimed i owed money to IRS..said agent came to door in Jan...said no one was home...
