Scammers, criminals, traitors, sociopaths, liars, you name it.

Automated voice "Final notice of a lawsuit from IRS" Called twice so far this morning.

They  call me  about  a  lawsuit

Same story as above posts; the tired old "IRS lawsuit" scam. Crude synthesized female voice. There is simply no question that this is a scam. See Tamianth's excellent post on page 1, and report your call. Sometimes, sometimes, they do get the bad guys.

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.  IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government.     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 claim to be The IRs saying to pay today

Robocall.  Scammers trying to extract info I guess.  Didn't answer, just listened to the message and laughed my A** off.  The IRS doesn't work that way!
