Just got this call too. Rang 4 times and then hung up. Second scam call today within 40 minutes, and the day is still young! They're like roaches and vermin--pests that won't go away, and keep multiplying. No way to ever permanently get rid of them.

The scammers called me three times claiming to be the IRS filing a lawsuit against me. I can see that they are scammers from the start. The IRS sends letters to audit you, to assess additional taxes owed, and would never make such a phone call about filing a lawsuit. The IRS has powers to collect taxes such as garnishment of wages and filing liens on properties. If a taxpayer has few resources, he or she can file an offer in compromise with the IRS. It does not need to file lawsuits to collect taxes. It's a funny scam to me.
Came up as unknown on called ID. Automated v/m that claimed to be IRS filing a lawsuit for fradulent or unpaid taxes. Just to be sure, I called back and a heavily accented man answered. He asked for my phone number to verify the nature of message. I told him I couldn't understand him and hung up the phone.
