This guy just called and got my elderly mother on the phone - she was about to pay him $4,000 to keep me from being "arrested" by the NYC police "in 20 minutes." Thank goodness I was there to take over the call. He had an accent - possibly Indian, but definitely from that general area of the world. He told me he was from the IRS. I have been late filing my income tax return, but that is allowed in the US, you just have to pay a fine. Probably, this man has a publicly available list of the late-filers, the people who owe, and is calling them and using scare tactics to steal. If I had not taken the call, my mother, who is quite gullible, would have made the payment. She was terrified. I'm sorry this man was so desperate as to take advantage in that way of her: we are lower middle class. I'm sorry the world is the way it is. And, despite his terrifying my mother, I send him good wishes and health and happiness so that he's no longer so desperate that he needs to hurt others in order to live decently. What a world.
got the same calls, 2 of them asking us to call back 917-832-1821, with the robotic voice saying it was the final call and the IRS was filing a lawsuit.

I just received a call from this number this afternoon. Threatening a lawsuit and claiming to be a final notice from the IRS. To get more information about the case file. . . call our department number 917-832-1821. Given the info provided above, I did not call back.
