Have been receiving the same call. today the "lawsuit" was filed. It's crazy that they can do this. When you call back what do they ask for? Has anyone tried calling back?

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
4th call in two days. Recording claiming to be the IRS advising of pending lawsuit and callback number. I called just to hear the scam. A guy actually answers the phone with "IRS, what is the phone number we used to contact you?" I then proceeded to advise him I was aware of the scam and reeled off a series of expletives and discussion of his parentage before telling him to never call my number again. I received another recorded call the next day at 6 AM. I've now blocked the number.
Just received this call that my caller ID said was out of area. Voice mail message did not ask for anyone by name but said the IRS was filing a lawsuit and I needed to call a number ( not same as on caller ID ). I have blocked this number but want to share with others. .
