Got a call from this number that just woke me up. And it left a voice mail message claiming someone has filed a lawsuit on my name. And to call them back or they will take legal action. Half the voice mail was cut off. And this is probably the 2nd number that has called me saying this & the 1st one had the exact same voice on the voice mail & the 2 apps I have that tell me if these type of calls are true or not both marked it as harassment. So I deleted the voice mail & blocked the number good luck trying again.
Transcript: So before we go with legal matter and send this case to the local County Courthouse kindly call us back on our number which is 310-905-5601 i repeat it 310-905-5601 thank you goodbye.
IRS scam Originates in either India or Pakistan. Block and ignore. DO NOT RETURN THE CALL![/b]
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 or Itunes cards or similar 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.
