Got same message saying they was going to put 14K on my debit card I gave them a debit card number but it was an old debit card pre paid funds never came on card
Message was from David Greg. Said it was about something from the United States Treasury wanting me to appear before a magistrate, a judge or a grand jury. Call had 011 before it. Slight British accent. Definitely a scam.
The IRS does not need to sue anyone. They send you first class letters delivered by the Post Office. Several of them. Ignore those, and they then send certified letters that you need to sign for. Again delivered by the Post Office. Ignore those and they simply freeze your bank accounts and anything else you own. If they can do that, then why would they bother with a court case that might take them years before they get in front of a judge? They also do not bother arresting people for a few thousand dollars for the same reasons I have already given.
Official IRS Government site detailing this scam and providing links to report it:

If you feel you SSN has been compromised, in addition to putting a fraud alert at the 3 credit bureaus, you may want to notify the IRS. Here is the link, fill out the proper form (probably 14039):

Just received a message on my home phone from David Grey 206.204.5025 claiming he is from U.S. Treasury and appearing before a grand jury? Definite scam! Thanks for providing the irs.gov website information. Very helpful.
