Received same phone call.I actually notified the IRS and they told me that they would never make a phone call like that and if you owed them any money , you would receive a statement in the mail. I tried to call the number back but got a busy signal . I wanted to tell the guy that his mother is a pig ..and to eat [***]! Sorry..just ticked off.
Every word is recorded Typed in exact words 9/28/2015 @ 2:55 PM Automated message on answering machine stating hello this call is officially a final notice from IRS Internal Revenue Service the reason of this call is to inform you that IRS is filing lawsuit against you to get more information about this case file please call immediately on our department number 206-569-4696 I repeat 206-569-4696 thank you, wife called me I listened to message from home phone thru my cell, called # above A man answered had all wrong info didn't even get my name right he hung up on me so I called the number again this time a woman answered the phone she immediately hung up on me, hope the IRS is doing something about this scam it terrifies people & If you have anxiety attacks it is awful to go thru!!
Answered and a recording came on saying that IRS was filing suit against me and to contact this number. I called back and got a busy signal. Sounds bogus -- apparently is.
They didn't say who the call was for so they purposely kept it vague. The IRS would never call you, they will send you something through registered/certified mail to make sure that you have received the letter in question.
