This a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for this.

The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone. The scammers use voice over IP lines (e.g. magicjack (Ymax corporation). This is always against these companys' terms of use and can lead to termination of their contract. However only law enforcement can initiate the contact if you yourself are not a customer. Therefore, report it also to your local law enforcement agency. Ultimately this is a case for the FBI legal attache in Islamabad or New Delhi. If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction (and the NSA can finally be a force for good).

I just got a call from an India/Bangladesh sounding guy saying I had a lawsuit against me from the US Treasury, too. But he told me to call Jason Brown at 831-435-1646. First thing I did was google area code, it's in California, then google Jason Brown & found this site. This happened today Feb. 19,2015.
Got a voicemail message 7/31/14 at 6:46pm EST from "Mr. Cooper from Legal Affairs, U.S. Treasury Department." Based on his accent, I would say he could be from either India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or another country in this region. He said the reason he was calling was to give me verbal notification regarding law enforcement action. He also said there was a case filed under my name, and that if I was too busy to return his call, then I should have a retained attorney of record contact him as soon as possible. He stated that any delay in calling him might end up in a big legal situation for me, and he said the "hotline to his desk" was 202-280-7170. He repeated the phone number and his name. Finally, he said he was looking forward to talking with me, and wished me a good day. Yeah, right. Not after getting a call like that. I'm relieved to know this was all just a big scam.
