Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.
Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.
Got a call from some scumbag claiming he was from the IRS and they had a lawsuit against me for tax mis- information on my 1040 return. I use a CPA for my tax business and I know that the IRS does not make personal phone calls. I have had this same call before, only from a different person and number. Wanted me to call a certain lawyer`s number .Had I done that I probably would have wound up with a lot of phone bills to pay. When I called him a scammer and a scumbag he hung up on me.
