Caller id says LEVENT ALTAY. Voice recording states that they are the IRS and this is my final notice. They are filing lawsuits against me. To get information on this file, call them back at this number. Either this is a wrong number or a scam.
Its a scam, and its all over this board. They use lots of different phone numbers and names.
They are trying to get you to pay a tax debt you don't owe. If you talk to them they'll give you a chance to settle the lawsuit by giving them money right now, by credit card, bank account number, or wire transfer. There is no lawsuit. There is no tax debt.
As not Micheal said it is not only all over this board it is all over the news (TV, Radio, Newspapers, and Magazines), organizations like AARP & the BBB, Federal government web sites, as well as other web sites.
IRS 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. The IRS does not accept payment in Itunes Cards, Amazon gift cards, or any other type of payment other than cash, check, credit or debit card (from normal everyday citizens).
