2026846433

They called and left a message that the IRS was filing a lawsuit against us.

I received an automated voice message on my answering service that the IRS had been trying to reach me.  "Final Notice" that I was being sued and needed to call 202-684-6433.  My caller id showed "unknown name" and "private number".   Got on internet to Google number and yep looks like a scam!

I just got the same call. Scammers. smh

Man [spoke with very broken accent ]claimed they were the irs and filing a lawsuit against me and needed information-asked them for a name and they said they ask the questions. i hung up . The news just
had a story about irs scams and the/irs stated they would never call you on

the phone but always send you info . by mail. Never give out any info over the phone.

Caller, who identified herself as being from the IRS, claimed that they had been trying to get in touch with me, that this was the last call, and that the IRS was launching a law suit against me.    When I called the number given above, there was either a busy signal or no answer.

Got an automated female voice message saying official final notice that the IRS is suing me. And gave this number to all immediately for more information. Obvious scam. Did not call. Went to IRS website and filled out report on IRS impersonation scam.

Voice message: Caller claimed to be from IRS (not true), warning of an impending lawsuit and that they had been trying to contact me many times (true) and to call them right away.
This has happened 4 times and still no letter, subpoena or tactical onslaught. They use no names and cite no specifics. Have reported to IRS, but they're apparently busy investigating 501c4's.

Don't believe this scam it's as fraudulent as the solar panel scheme to cloud your home title.

This is a damn scam!! They are saying they are the IRS and filing a lawsuit against me. Trouble is that they are looking for my mother, which is funny because her name is on the phone account but she has never used my number for anything!!! This is how I know this is a damn scam, well, if I didn't already know, which of course I did!!!! How do we stop these damn people from calling?!?!?!?!?!

I got a call from someone claiming to be from the areas they called from 732-484-2227 and 731-474-2927. They said that the IRS was going to sue me and asked me to call 202-684-6433.

They called and left a voicemail that we were being sued by the IRS and this was our final notice. It was a recording.

Same automated "irs" voicemail left two days in a row, yet each caller I'd different numbers. Tried to call 202 number back and no answer.

Just got a call saying they are the the IRS and are filing a lawsuit against me. Said if I want more info to call this # 202 684 6433. Knew the IRS wouldn't send a robo call message so I googled it and here I am. Good scam tho since people may be willing to give up their social security# to the IRS.

I received a message from this number with an automated voice telling me that the IRS is suing me and that this is my final chance to call back. I did not call back. Sounds like lots of scams from this number!

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.

Update: called again on 02/26/15, identical message, number, voice. This has been running for almost 2 months since reporting to FBI. BTW, IRS doesn't sue, they use the other "s" word: seize.

They left a couple messages on my voice mail at home.  Said that the IRS was suing me and I needed to call them back immediately at 202-684-6433.  On Called ID they showed up as "STARNET - PAETE"

Why don't they have a call type below for "Scam"?
