Received a call from the above number that left a message - A man with a strong Indian accent said it was an IRS matter and needed to be taken care of immediately and it was about someone filing a lawsuit against me. (Really? why would the IRS be involved in that - lol) Any how he continued on to say if he did not hear back from me or my attorney very soon, he wished me luck with the out come -- not sure if that's the number he was calling from, but that was the number he left for me to call back
Two big tipoff's that this is [***] call from someone claiming to be from the irs. 1) for me, it was an obvious recording that's starting in the middle - a gentleman with a very thick indian accent 2) i received the call from "washington d.C." at what would be 7pm in the evening. The irs's hours = 8am - 5pm only.
**i work for a cpa. It is a well-known fact that the irs will only communicate with you in writing initially, they will not call! In fact, if you call the irs when you are on hold they have an outgoing message warning of scammers that call and leave threatening messages. They emphasize the fact that they do not call & not to fall for it.
