I received a call from this number and I did not answer. They left a partial voice mail stating they were the IRS hotline and that there was a lein on my property and to call them to discuss my "bill". They said to include my employer ID number. I do not owe the IRS any money and I am not an employer. I have been retired for three years and never owned a business. I then looked up the number on this website and thanks to all of you who posted your remarks regarding this number.
I just got this call did it say that there is a red flag on your SSN? I think its a scam because the IRS does not call you they send you correspondence first.
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan.

RS does not file lawsuits. Tax disputes are 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. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. IRS does not cold call anyone and all contacts are initiated by US mail.
