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.

Most of these calls are coming out of India and Pakistan. Not much we can do when we do not have jurisdiction in those country's.

I received the automated call and responded. I talked to Kevin without last name who told me IRS had lawsuit against me for $4500. I said I will not pay until I see it in writing. He said it could not be delivered because I was not home to sign. He kept asking me how I wanted to handle it and I finally said I will talk to my congressman and hung up. His accent from India was hard to understand. Live in Minnesota

Just had 2 messages saying that very same thing.

I have received 4 calls from them in two days. I reported them to the IRS Inspector General's office.

First time for me. They really think we are stupid. 12:17pm  just received another call same idiots. I guess they don't check the net for these sites. Thanks to all of you we can stay a little ahead of them. Yes I blocked them good old call blocker great investment.

Same number same recording.  It's would send a letter I can't see them calling...

Called twice

Indian guys out of NY got a call back number they want cash only called on prepaid phone. Guys name is Eric he gave 2 numbers 212-239-2310 and 212-239-2745. Just some more info. They are probably all over.

Same as everyone else

Just received the same call. 202-621-0546 - automated voice saying the IRS is filing a suit against you.

I got 2 calls today from 202 621-0546.   First one went to voicemail, only got a fragment of it, something about a 'case file' which perked my interest.   Answered the next one and I got the same message as everyone else, about being sued by the IRS and to call them.   Of course, I didn't.   Called the IRS first, but got stuck in automated message hell and decided to check online.   Immediately found links saying this is a spoofed phone number that tricks caller ID into thinking it's from somewhere else and that it's IRS related fraud.

I received a call at 6:54 a.m. left a voicemail which comcast lists a readable voicemail on my computer. I called the number back he claimed he was from the IRS. He refused to give me his name and I informed him he could not call me at 6:54 a.m. he kept telling me I called you before you didn't answer. I kept asking who he was looking for he would not answer.

I received two calls.  I phoned back.  When the Asian answered - I told him to remove my number from his calling list.  He replied "F*ck You Mutha F*cka".  So I hung up.

Electronic text to voice program to left a message claiming they were the Internal Revenue Service and that I owed back taxes. Knowing that the IRS contacts you via mail only and doesn't work nights and holiday weekends, I used a VOIP program to call them back. I called three times each time the call was answered by someone with a heavy Indian accent. The third time I played along for a while to have some fun.

I gave Edward Parker (yeah right) my fake information (I.e. the number they called me at and my first name). He said that their records did not match my returns from 2008 and that I owed $3060 in back taxes. He used the zip code information I gave him to locate a Walmatprt near me and said that the problem could only be settled in cash (no credit cards or checks. Also, they can't write to me as I'm not at home and their letters get returned and that is why I'm in such hot water). He asked if I was an a cell phone and I said I was. I was to proceed to Walmart and not mute my phone as they are recording it for evidence. I went to the bathroom, phone in hand to take my morning constitutional. Well, I was getting bored so I said that I got to Walmart sooner than I expected. He said that I was lying to him. I denied it. He insisted. I said that he was lying to me and this was fun. Let's keep doing it. He said "Please do not call again." Haha. I used auto dial to call him about 20 times before they put my number on call blocking.
