received a call which was from 588-4 but voice mail said the IRS was filing lawsuit against me. no name was mentioned and the number was 209-435-9758. I didn't answer when I saw Caller ID being 588-4. I don't answer calls I don't recognize. Everyone I know I put in my contacts list. That way I know who's calls are either Scam or telemarketeers. This one is a Scam Call!!!!!. Please be aware of it. Trying hard to scam ppl outta their money. Hope the law catches up with them very soon. I know for a fact that IRS doesn't do phone calls. I'm sure it'll be a signature type letter that has to be picked up at the Post Office.
I got a message from IRS saying call that number back. thanks to your post and all the subsequent responses, it sounds like a scam. I appreciate your post.
I got a call on my cell today and it came up that it was from 588-4 and left a message for me to return their call to 209-435-0758. I returned the call on a different line and he said his name is Eric Johnson from Internal Revenue Service Tax Investigative Unit. I asked who he wanted to speak with and he asked me who he was speaking with. I gave him no information at all.
