Fraudulent call claiming the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me. Automatic recording. They're not preying on the elderly, as I am 35, and I was legitimately contacted by the IRS a year or so ago about a dispute on my tax return (it was filed correctly, in case you were wondering, and their claims were dismissed - this is why you keep your records for a few years), and they contact by postal mail.
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Block and ignore. DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government. Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter. But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters. 90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively. IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes. IRS has no powers of arrest as related to ordinary tax disputes. Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime. IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of money. IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone. IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case. No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments. Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement. All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals. All contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

Said I was being sued by IRS for back taxes. From 2008-2012, and I owe over 7,000 dollars. They said I had an arrest warrant out on me. When I told them I was disabled since 2006 he changed his demeanor. Then I did a reverse lookup and it said it was a scam. A lot of people had posted the scam on them with this phone number. Gonna call IRS on Monday to report phising
