Who called from 9173785543

Message threatening lawsuit from IRS. This is a scam.

This is a scam which identifies themselves as the IRS.  Individuals from India, hardly able to speak English answer and want you to send money to avoid being sued by the IRS.  I called this number back three times to gather more information.   Two times the call was answered by "Geprge Oneal.  Hung up on me twice. Third time I called George recognized my number and handed the phone over to another no speaking English Indian who hung up on me.  Do not fall for these predators.

My elderly Mother who lives in an assisted living facility had a message on her answering machine that the IRS had a lawsuit against her and to call this number back. She called me about it since I handle her affairs. I told her it was as am that IRS did not call you they send letters. I was mad that they had upset my mother so I called the number to see what they would say. They answered as some part of IRS but they were foreign so I could not understand all they said at first she wanted to know if she could help me and I said you tell me since you called me. Then she wanted my name and I said no because I know you are a scam because the IRS DOES NOT CALL  YOU. I told them I would be reporting them to the IRS.
