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.
An hour or so ago, I got the same sort of call as all of the other posters. Something about the IRS, lawsuits, etc. Their phone no. was 315-215-3455. A half hour later, I got a similar call that threatened me with the same IRS lawsuit. But, the 2nd call came from a different number -- 360-718-9117. For what it's worth, and this may just be my own paranoia, but as a retired Fed I rec'd an email earlier this week from Office of Personnel Mgmt., in which I was offered free credit monitoring for 18 months because the personnel records for millions of past & present federal employees have been hacked. Not sure if the bogus calls from 'IRS' today are connected to the hacking or not. Just throwing it out there for everyone to consider - especially if you're a current or former Federal employee.
Will not do any good to report these to the IRS or any other agency. The IRS has tripled their Agents since the Obama care took affect, but they still don't have the time to track down these Scum bags. The other agents don't care either. The best thing you can do when these Scum bags call is first look at the ID Caller if you have ID caller. If it says Unavailable, Blank or anything other that a Good company or person's name, Don't answer And/or the phone number is a long distance (toll paid) line, Hang up.
