Scammers! It was a automated message telling me that I've been named by the IRS in a lawsuit.

Got a message saying the IRS  was filling suit against me and going to size all my assets. Good luck, nothing to seize but my cloths.

Debt being filed by the IRS so either I or my attourney need to call back before they proceed with any kind of legal steps against me.  If I fail to call back they are not responsible for any legal consequences that I may face in the future.

Got a call stating that I was being persecuted by the IRS. Called back, told the East Indian voice on the other end that I had my lawyer on a three way call. He hung up and blocked my number. SCAM...

IRS will not call you. They will send letters or have you served. This is a scam...

Correct, everything everyone has stated is completely true, this is a total scam.

IRS Scam if you call back you can ask to be removed from the list and they will

Sarah -

Your logic escapes me.
Since the call was from a scammer, why should they honor your request to be "removed from the list"?
In actuality, they will put your number on the "this sucker called back, so keep trying" list.
OR
Do you work for the scammer, and try to encourage callbacks?

If you ever posted your phone number on a social site, or used it when ordering online, or typed it in an insecure computer, or gave it to a friend whose computer was attacked, or filled out an entry form at a fair or a supermarket, or used it on a contest entry form, or put it on a postcard for a magazine or purchase, or were among those whose information was hacked from some organization, or obtained a "new" phone number ... your number is probably known to the scammers.

Allow me to present another possibility in a very simple fashion ... not to insult your intelligence, but to attempt to get the idea across to even those who have difficulty understanding more complicated answers.  Click on the "Info" line, below, to learn about that possibility.


There, now you know all about how spammers can dial YOUR phone number, even if it is unlisted, and even if only relatives know it, and even if it is on or off the DNC list.

I hope that helps prove the DNC list DOES work!  It helps prevent calls from registered / legitimate telemarketers, but it is not able to stop calls from telespammers.  It is also NOT designed to stop political callers (who usually get the numbers from voter registration lists), calls from charities, or some other companies, such as debt collectors; or some companies with which you have done business in the last 18 months.

Here are two pages of links to (mostly government) sites in Canada and the USA were you can report phone scams, or learn more about them.
* First, look elsewhere on this site for an Article, entitled "Where to Report Phone Crime".  (It may appear in the column to your right).

Threat of outstanding warrant, baseless.

I received a call from 786 320 8772 and it was this same IRS scam. Apparently, the number has changed, but when I asked them to provide me with a number in case I got disconnected they gave me 202 506 9423. Both are scams and do not trust them.

I first got a call from 813 856 7628.   They had my name and address with cell phone number.  I asked what it was about and they put me on hold and I hung up.  Immediately I got a call from 202 506 9423 and I did not answer.
