Who called from 2024304549

irs scam says there is a law suit filed against you.

IRS is filing a lawsuit against you.  No mention of my name of which office of the IRS is attempting to contact.

so it is a scam then? They have called my phone twice. I called back and they were trying to get a bunch of my information so i hung up. I called from two different phones and they will not pick up the phone it just keeps ringing until it goes dead.

Um ...
Yes.  The "IRS Scam" is probably the most publicized scam on the internet, print papers, radio & TV.

I guess the "low information" people have not heard of it yet.
... and, it seems that same group forgets how to return here to read answers.

The IRS does not initiate communications
with a "cold call" to unsuspecting people.
Instead
The IRS always sends a letter, first!

There is a widespread IRS (or CRA) or "tax scam" being  practiced by scammers on both USA and Canadian residents.

The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
