They say they are the IRS true?

They claim to be IRS is this true?

seems to me if they were the IRS and they wanted your attention that they would serve you legally.  It's a scam.

This is a scam. I called back from another number and no answer.

qThis place that I am leaving message can be another scam who knows but my name was compromized already so I am not risking anything.Yes somebody called and told me that IRS is opening case against me.I report last year on Police such a call.

Robo call claims to be IRS saying you are being sued. This scam was alerted to the public on our local news.

IRS scam call!!!  Just left a recorded message. Do not give any info to these scammers threatening lawsuit from IRS. The "REAL" IRS will send you  letters.  I see they just called Brian92104 that's our area too. I saw this on the news as well  warning of this scam.

Same for me, automated message saying i owed the IRS money. Sad that people actually fall for these scams.

Call message says its from the IRS & they are filing a lawsuit against me. The IRS does not make phone calls like this. It's a scam & reported it to police & FBI.

For those of you who might be curious, here's the voicemail text of these Seattle Scammers.  Check the errors in basic English.  Non-native speaking crook.

"IRS is filing lawsuit against you to get more information about this case file. Please call immediately on our department number 206-488-2814. I repeat 206-488-2814. Thank you."

Got a phone call again supposedly from the IRS in Bainbridge, Washington. Reported it to the FTC. See earning message below:

Identifying an "IRS" Phone Scam
Identifying an "IRS" Phone Scam
The IRS recently issued a warning for the public to be on alert for phone calls from bogus "IRS Agents". Generally, these calls claim that the taxpayer has unpaid taxes which must be paid immediately. The caller will provide a bogus IRS employee number, demand immediate payment in a threatening tone and will try to trick the taxpayer into providing sensitive social security and bank account information. What makes these scammers especially dangerous is how they present themselves when calling. Not only are they modifying caller ID to make it appear they are actually calling from the IRS (frequently from "Area Code 202"), but they seem to know a lot about the taxpayer, often including correct address information and the last four digits of the taxpayer's social security number. This adds credibility to their scam.  Unfortunately, these fraudsters have "collected taxes" from far too many unsuspecting taxpayers.

Peterson Sullivan wants you to be aware that these calls are not legitimate and that under no circumstances should any private information be shared with the scammers. To help clients, prospects, and others, below is a list of ways to identify that you are being targeted. These include:

If you have not previously received a written notice via regular mail from the IRS, then any call is not authentic. It is IRS' policy to first mail a written communication to a taxpayer prior to initiating any telephone contact.
A caller who indicates you must pay taxes immediately without providing any chance to question or appeal the amount they say you owe is not legitimate. The IRS always provides taxpayers with at least one opportunity to question or appeal taxes said to be owed.
If the caller requires that you use a certain payment method, such as a prepaid debit card, then it is a scam call.
The IRS never asks for sensitive financial information over the phone, such as your bank or credit card account numbers. If the caller is asking for this information, they are not from the IRS. Further, an actual IRS employee would already have access to your full social security number, not just the last four digits, and would not need to ask you to recite your full SSN.
If the caller threatens to bring in local police or other law-enforcement to have you arrested for not paying immediately, it is not a legitimate call. The IRS never makes such threats in an initial contact.
Remember, the IRS does not currently use unsolicited telephone calls, email, text messages, or any social media to discuss your personal tax issues.
Contact the FTC and Us

If you feel that you’ve been the victim of an IRS phone scam and/or have received a call from someone claiming to be from the IRS who demands immediate payment, please contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC is in charge of managing all fraudulent behavior, especially the ongoing IRS phone scams. Also, please let us know that you've been targeted.

Recording from IRS (fake scam call) saying its a final notice.  I hung up.  Just got my refund from IRS anyway.

Got a voicemail saying the IRS has begun a lawsuit against me

Female robocall left the following voicemail message twice.

"This call is to inform you IRS is filing lawsuit against you. To get more information about this case file, please call immediately on our department number 206-488-2814. I repeat 206-488-2814. Thank you."

Searched the number and a lot of scam reports came up.
