I received a call from this number at 11:25 AM. I did not answer the phone. The message was a recording claiming that a lawsuit had been filled from the IRS against me and I needed to call back. The IRS does not call you ever! It's a scam!
Robo call left message on my voice mail on my cell phone saying this is the final notice and the IRS is going to file a lawsuit on me. It said to call back about my case file. WTH? I haven't received a single letter from the IRS.
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Block and ignore. DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government. Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter. But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters. 90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively. IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes. IRS has no powers of arrest as related to ordinary tax disputes. Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime. IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of money. IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone. IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case. No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments. Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement. All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals. All contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

I blocked these idiots before but I guess they spoofed a new number. I usually don't even have my messages turned on but I am expecting a call. The IRS files CRIMINAL charges not a lawsuit. They will notify you by registered mail or delivery service not with a robo caller. If you simply made a mistake and not outright fraud they will just fix it and send you a bill. You could even get a refund. I got audited years ago and all I had to do was send them proof of my interest paid. They then notified me that everything was OK. I haven't itemized in more than 30 years. Standard deduction in my income bracket the chances of even being audited are pretty much zero.
