The recording said it was IRS and it was final call before filing lawsuit. Assumed to be bogus phone call.

Called at 12:27 p.m. EST. The recording states: "? services. The reason of this call is to inform you that IRS is filing  lawsuit against you. To get more information about this case file, please call immediately on our department number."     I'm sure this is a scam. This number will be blocked until the next number they use.

Same message, same robo-voice that sounds almost legit.  Definitely a scam.

Don't know anything about this number and why it is calling me.

Just got a call from this number - called back and they answered "internal Revenue Service" - when I asked for the persons ID code they hung up on me.

Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.   Block and ignore.   DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.   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.

I got the same message!

Caller said the IRS was filing a law suit against me. Knew it was not true.  Did not call back.

The IRS is filing a law suit against you.  Call 509-588-7042 for details.
