509-331-5210

Says the IRS is filing a law suit agains me.

An automated call claiming they were the irs and to call immediately because they are filing a lawsuit immediately. Never heard of the irs calling without any written notice.

I believe this is a scam call, it was a automated call claiming they were the IRS and to call immediately because they are filing a lawsuit. I have never heard of the IRS contacting anyone this way.

Same as above.  Called & asked how could i know if really irs?  Rude, heavily accented operator said I could believe or not.  I hung up.

Just got the same call. Said this is my "final notice". I never got a first notice? I don't trust it one bit. And what government agency doesn't supply a toll-free number to call back?

Caller, 509-331-5210, that you are about to be sued by IRS. I signed up on the NO-CALL-LIST but still get these kind of calls. To what authority is the best way to report these calls?

The no call list is only honored by legitimate businesses.  Criminal routinely break the law,, and these are some of the worst, located overseas in India and Pakistan

I just got a computer phone call saying it was my final notice and a law suit was filled vs me

I received a call about 3 hrs ago and 15 min ago saying I was being sued by the IRS. You can report these calls on
pigta.gov in the red square at the top of the page. I called the IRS fraud hot line. They receiving many calls at this
time. I could wait on the telephone or report the call on line..

the website to report IRS scams is tigta.gov (not pigta.gov)

I'm sorry the sight is tigta.gov

I just received the same call for the second time today, and I noticed this time it says "official notice from IRS, Internal Revenue Services". IRS stands for "Internet Revenue SERVICE", not "SERVICES". Yet another clue that these guys are scam artists!

Based on personal experience, the IRS does not call you.  You will receive a certified letter.  In that letter will be the agent contact information.  This scam has been going for a number of years.  I got the call today as well.

Scam!! But to make them not ever wanna call me again had little fun on 10 hr trip, blocked my caller ID and called them about 70 times over 6 he period.. lol most fun we had in a while on a road trip talking trash to them. Finally would not take calls!!!

Received a call said being sued by IRS and was a final notice.  Is this a scam?

Absolutely!

As TIGTA Continues To Warn On IRS Scams, New Treasury Scams Surface

Over the past two years, nearly 4,550 victims have collectively paid over $23 million to scammers posing as Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials. Since October 2013, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has received reports of roughly 736,000 contacts made to taxpayers demanding that they send them cash via prepaid debit cards.

J. Russell George, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, assured taxpayers that his office was actively pursuing those involved in the fraud, reassuring taxpayers, “We have made progress in our investigation of this scam, resulting in the successful prosecution of some individuals associated with it over the past year. This summer, a ringleader was sentenced to more than 14 years in federal prison. However, this is still a matter of high investigative priority, and we will not rest until all individuals associated with this fraud have been brought to justice.”

But even as TIGTA notes that it continues to receive reports of thousands those bogus calls every month, stories are circulating suggesting that the scam is widening. Scammers are changing tactics and making calls purporting to be directly from the U.S. Treasury. There are a few variations on this scam. In one version, scammers advise that an individual has been awarded a grant or a similar sum of money and in order to collect, the individual needs to provide personal information or a sum of money to “release” the funds. It sounds a little bit like those lottery scams making the rounds but the use of the name of the Office of the Treasury seems to make individuals believe that it’s more legitimate. It is not. TheTreasury advises that it does not have such a program. Further, the Treasury says:

Quote:

Recently we’ve found a twist on these scams, where the email, letter or phone call actually claims to be from the Treasury Inspector General, Eric M. Thorson. Some have convincing details about his career, appear to be on Treasury letterhead, and have links to email addresses such as ericthorson.oig@usa.com. These are frauds. Do not believe them, and do not respond to them. Please send them to OIGCounsel@oig.treas.gov; we will work to shut them down.

Another version of a Treasury scam involves a caller falsely representing that he is from Office of the Treasury and demanding payment or information (just like those bogus IRS calls). These callers have been described as threatening or abusive, and tell victims they need to make immediate payment to forestall arrest. Again, Treasury advises that these calls are frauds.

An even more sophisticated scam effort attempts to convince individuals to buy fraudulent promissory notes and/or private bonds. Some involve what are alleged to be Treasury issued or backed securities. Examples of those fake securities include “Limited Edition” Treasury Securities, One Year “Fresh Cut” Treasury bills; “U.S. Dollar Bonds”; Fraudulent “Federal Notes” or “Bonds” (also called “Morganthaus”); and “Defacto” Treasury Securities. To make it sound more legitimate, scammers may use routing numbers from Treasury bureaus, specifically the Financial Management Service (FMS) and the Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD), or a Federal Reserve bank, to make the false notes appear genuine. Don’t be fooled. If you hear these terms, be aware that they are all bogus securities.

Finally, those “redemption” or “acceptance for value” schemes are also completely fraudulent. In these schemes, scammers assert that the United States government has trust accounts linked to each citizen. Promoters tell potential victims that they can gain access to the funds – and discharge their debts – by issuing forms 1099-OID to their creditors. This scam is perpetually on the list of Dirty Dozen scams issued by IRS.

Be smart. There is no magical form or security that will make you rich. The government isn’t holding secret money in your name and no phone call, email or seminar can produce details that say otherwise.

Similarly, the IRS or Treasury won’t be calling you and asking you to provide personal financial information, including PINs and account numbers, over the phone.
