Freaks me out. I just got a phone call saying that I owe the IRS money, and that they are trying to sue me. And that they are sending a sheriff in 45 minutes to come arrest me. This has to be a scam! I have paid all the taxes on time without fail.
Official IRS Government site detailing this scam and providing links to report it:

If you feel you SSN has been compromised, in addition to putting a fraud alert at the 3 credit bureaus, you may want to notify the IRS. Here is the link, fill out the proper form (probably 14039):

Poor quality, incomplete recorded message left on my phone: "...is filing lawsuit against you. To get more information about this case file, please call immediately on our department number 202 470 2565."
