Also got the call about 30 minutes ago...found several websites when I searched the number stating it was a scam and to obviously not give them any info...as someone that actually was audited on a tax return a few years ago...the IRS does everything through the mail...they never called
Answered call, prerecorded message that the IRS has filed a lawsuit against me. I call the number back, they tell me the US Marshall will come to my door in the next 90 minutes to arrest me for tax evasion of $5,200. They said that there were several attempts to contact me including a certified letter. I tell them my tax man prepared & filed my taxes. They reply the IRS did not require me to use a tax man, & it's my fault for using him. They give me options, defend myself in court or or pay now 50% and set up a payment plan on the balance; then they will stop the US Marshall from coming to arrest me. They give their badge numbers and names. Hahaha...the names are very common English last names (Cooper was one of them), but their accents were very NON-English. ..sounded like east Indian.
So they had me in their grip for a while even though, I know very well that I don't owe anything to the IRS. I was gullible at first, luckily I figured out it was a scam. Too sad for others that are even more gullible.
This crime has to be stopped!
I received a call from this number as well, left 2 voicemail stating that the IRS has a lawsuit against me. Lies! This is a thief ppl beware. Irs Never calls!
Called about 8:17 and 11:25 A.M. this morning. First broken recorded msg was about IRS lawsuit against me and a phone # to call. I didn't. Deleted 2nd call's msg without listening. I have no IRS problems. So annoying to have to dial my voice mail and delete the message. "unavailable" on the caller ID. Hope they get stopped soon!
