IRS has filed suit against me. Yea Right and I am Uncle Sam.  Good one I needed a good laugh.  With as many times as the news reports the complaints about these joker, they still keep trying. lol

Received a phone call on my cell today, 4-20-15. When I answered it was a recording saying I was getting sued by the IRS and it was their last attempt to contact me.  The phone number was from 509 - 588 - 7165 and it said to call 360 262 6174.  Caller ID was from Benton City Washington.

We just received one too from that number out of Benton City, WA.  Automated message said IRS was filing a law suit against us and that numerous phone calls had been made prior to this final one.  Instructed us to contact 360-262-6174.

I just got the same call. I know it's not real because I owe IRS nothing. My tax preparer is checking into this.

I have received several calls from 509-588-7165 -- it is a robocall. Today it said it was from the IRS which is going to sue me.

The phone number was from 509 - 588 - 7165 and it said to call 360 262 6174.  Caller ID was from Benton City WA

Got a phone from 509 area code and it said i was neing sued ny the irs and several attempts had been tried and i needed to call area code 360 and i automatically new it was a scam.

I got a phone call last night from this same phone number.  I didn't even speak into the phone and then the automated voice message clicked in (probably heard my t.v. set "talking") and went on with how I am being sued by the "IRS" blah blah.  I just hung up.  A friend of mine who tried to get these calls stopped in her state---ended up receiving up to 50 unsolicited telephone calls a night and the FCC/phone company did NOTHING to help her.  We believe the person she did speak to (bad mistake) to ask to be taken off their call list was the one who started abusing my friend's phone #.  My friend even got calls from places saying "You called us about wanting..."  To me, these low-life telemarketers who do that to people because they themselves are sick passive aggressive idiots...I hope every one of them ends up in jail as doing that is a federal offense!  Dum azzes!

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.

We just received this same voice mail from 509-588-7165 telling us it was the IRS and there is a lawsuit.  The number to call was the same 360-262-6174.  Thank you to Pudge and Alfalfa for the information of how to report. We have reported it (as directed on the IRS website) to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.  www.tigta.gov.

A call from this number claimed to be from the IRS.

Received a call from this number claiming to be the IRS' final attempt to contact me (this was the first call ever) & the IRS "is filing lawsuit" & told me to call 509-587-3092 to receive more information.

Ditto.  Calling the real IRS and local police tomorrow.
