562-240-7849

Robo-voice, sounds like IRS will be filing lawsuit unless I called them back at that same number.  At least it left a voicemail, but I still won't be calling it back.

It was a recording that said the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me and to call the number back. called my cell phone

They just called me as well. Next week they will be Microsoft software experts needing to talk to you about all the 'errors your PC is sending us."

the caller was very rude calling me names and mocking me saying that he was with the irs and that i was being sued. i would ask why and he called me a stupid american and that he is not scared of us.

Called twice, once at 7:05 am, and left a broken up voicemail saying something like "...to find out about a lawsuit against you..."  I will file a complaint to go along with the other umpteen million which have been filed already hoping that the FTC will use some of our tax 💰 to deal with these criminals.

It's a scam.  Call comes from Alamitos, CA and they aren't able to answer simple questions just want to get your personal details.

This number called me twice so far today with a recording saying the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me.

Said I was going to get arrested if I didn't pay $6000.

Received two phone calls from this number stating that the IRS was filing a law suit against me.  I didn't bother to call back as I know the IRS doesn't work this way.

says they are the IRS, and I will be arrested

appears to be a scam to scare you into calling this number to make payment to a fake "IRS"

Same message as the others. "Irs is filing suit."

Um no...

Same thing as others. Want me to call back about a lawsuit from the IRS... A personal name comes up with this number though, a Paul Cross on caller ID.

I was suspicious and screen my calls. The message was the same and it was not even a clear recording. They should be arrested.

Yeah I have gotten at least 3 calls from this number, I did call back to find out what the heck was going on, the guy had a thick accent asking me for my phone number and name..I didn't give him any info, and asked outright if he was phishing and that this must be a scam,also told him I was contacting the authorities which he just said nonchalantly "OK, you do that" before he hung up. I have advised my local authorities about it,hopefully they will dealt with.   Number showed up on my caller i.d. with the name Cross Paul.

Multiple calls in the last two days saying the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me.

Yes, too many people have heard the same robocall voice say the same thing and give different phone numbers to call back on.  This is the first year I saw a name in the caller ID.   After several weeks of hearing the message, there will be an article in your local paper saying that several elderly couples lost thousands of dollars to the IRS robocall scam.

YOU know the call is a hoax, a scam, 'a criminal who impersonates IRS and Treasury employees...'
YOU have to tell the senior citizens you know that the call is a scam and must be ignored and why.

The IRS won’t call out of the blue to ask for payment, won’t demand a specific form of payment and won’t leave a message threatening to sue you.
AND  you/they can file a complaint  https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/articles/202873880-Robocalls

J. Russell George Urges Taxpayers to Remain on "High Alert"
Expanded Outreach Effort Announced to Prevent More Losses to IRS Impersonators

WASHINGTON — The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) urged taxpayers to remain on “High Alert” and announced additional outreach efforts to prevent them from falling victim to criminals who impersonate Internal Revenue Service and Treasury employees this filing season.

“The phone fraud scam has become an epidemic, robbing taxpayers of millions of dollars of their money,” said J. Russell George, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. “We are making progress in our investigation of this scam, resulting in the successful prosecution of some individuals associated with it over the past year,” he said, adding that over the summer, a ringleader was sentenced to more than 14 years in federal prison. “However, this is still a matter of high investigative priority.”

If you get a call from someone claiming to be with the IRS asking for a payment, here’s what to do:
If you owe Federal taxes, or think you might owe taxes, hang up and call the IRS at 800-829-1040. IRS workers can help you with your payment questions.

TIGTA encourages taxpayers to be alert to phone and e-mail scams that use the IRS name. The IRS will never request personal or financial information by e-mail, text, or any social media. You should forward scam e-mails to phishing@irs.gov. Do not open any attachments or click on any links in those e-mails.

Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes winner) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.

The old "IRS lawsuit" scam

I blocked 562-240-7849 after reading these comments and the number calling me twice. Now this number with the same recording is calling me 312-878-9031.

Telling me the irs is filing charges that I need to call a 562 number they call at least twice a week. I know it's a scam
