Also got a call about 2:00 central time today from IRS claiming to file a lawsuit and that I needed to call a number for more info, also pretty sure it was a scam when I called the number back it (was not in service)
Thanks for confirming this. Nothing is more sickening than getting a call like that. My taxes r filed properly ever year so I was wondering what the deal was. They called here twice today
I too got a call from this weirdo. I scared for a moment. Then came back to reality. I did nothing wrong when filing my taxes. The IRS only contact via US mail. Certified mail only
This is an overseas scam. One of the best tools available is registering with a service that blocks robocalls.
