This number and other numbers have called me claiming they're the IRS. This is not cool...the first number that called me I called bac. Never speaking to a single person. DO NOT I REPEAT CO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER BACK.
I got a message from this number, computerized of course, saying a lawsuit was being filed against me by the IRS and I needed to call immediately. I returned the call, expecting it to be a scam, because have just gotten my IRS refund 3-4 weeks ago, so I knew nothing was pending against me. After they put me on hold to get my file, the rep, who does not speak English very well, asked if my address was an address from over 10 years ago and when I said No, simply hung up. A second call to the number lent way to a dial tone that said all circuits are busy. I've blocked the number but advise not to give them a second thought on returning the call. The IRS will always mail you a letter and request you to contact them and only call you upon your request. Otherwise they do things by mail.
The IRS does not need to sue anyone. They send you first class letters delivered by the Post Office. Several of them. Ignore those, and they then send certified letters that you need to sign for. Again delivered by the Post Office. Ignore those and they simply freeze your bank accounts and anything else you own. If they can do that, then why would they bother with a court case that might take them years before they get in front of a judge? They also do not bother arresting people for a few thousand dollars for the same reasons I have already given.

Just received call from this number and did not answer it. A message was left with the same IRS scam as described by other posts. This number has been added to my ever lengthening reject number list.
If the "caller" is reading this: I hope everyone in your family gets Pancreatic cancer except you, and after your last family member dies a horrible, drawn-out, painful death, you hang yourself from a beam in your basement from survivors guilt, you human jiz bucket.
