Received automated call from 263-407-5822 stating that it was a final notice from the IRS, and that a lawsuit was being filed. Instructions were given to call 206-201-2044. This is a SCAM! Do not respond to this call.
*Thanks to all who have posted to warn us about this.
a message was left on my answering machine by a female sounding robot stating that the IRS has been trying to reach me, this was our final notice and we are being sued by the IRS and should call 206-201-2044. This had been brought up at my local Community Watch meeting in November 2014. A member of our group is a retired IRS employee and confirmed that this is a scam. The call back # had been changed but the message was the same.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
