Called my home number and I missed call. The message that was left by a female recording said, the reason for this call is that the IRS is filing a law suit against you. To get more information about this case file, please immediately call our dept @ 202-684-6848. Thank you.
The same thing happened to me. Received a call on my cell phone on 6/26/15 at 2:40pm from the number 202-684-6848. A recorded message was left saying the IRS is filing a law suit against me and I need to call them back. However, the IRS does not have my cell phone number, only my home phone number. This is still very scary. I am going to just refer this to my tax accountant. There is no reason for this. I assume this is a scam call.
Just received a call from the number 202-684-6848 claiming that the IRS has filed a lawsuit against me. I am pretty sure it is a scam. I doubt that the IRS calls people on saturday

I just answered the phone and the robotic msg said to call 202 684 6848. A guy with a strong Indian accent told me his name was Mark Brown. I said that sounds really strange for your name to be Mark Brown. He quickly got frustrated with me and told me to be at my address, which he had, within the hour and a sheriff's deputy would let me know if he was telling the truth. Exasperated, he hung up. I called back, got the same guy and he gave an Indian name, I said, Oh, you sound just like the guy I talked to named Mark Brown. He then kept pretending that we had a bad phone connection until he hung up. I absolutely will be reporting this!
There was message left on my voice mail at 11:45 a.m. June 27, 2015, saying that she represented the IRS and the IRS was suing me. I called the number back at 12:58 p.m. and an India man answered the phone telling me that he represented the IRS and that I was being sued for $4,488.29 due to failing to pay or file taxes from 2008- 2014. He asked me to give him my bank account number and he would send me an email to authorize the transfer. I said this is a bogus call and I am not giving up my bank information. He said that the police would come to my home in 1/2 an hour to arrest me and that my bank accounts would be frozen unless i give him the requested information and authorization to move funds. I refused and hung up on him.
