Received a call from this number today, a recorded message claiming to be the IRS. The recording stated I was being sued by the IRS and this was a "final notice". I immediately knew this was a scam but decided to call the number back anyway, to gather more info before reporting to the Treasury Inspector General. The call was immediately answered by a live person (no recording or menu options), with a heavy foreign accent. I told her i was returning their call, she asked when i received the call... i told her just now, and asked why the IRS would call me from New York, she promptly hung up on me. Please don't fall for this garbage. Know that the IRS will ALWAYS notify you in writing about any correspondence needed from you before attempting phone calls, and that whenever calling the IRS back you will be greeted by a recorded menu system, not an immediate live operator. Its TAX time people, and the vultures are circling!
Recorded female voice said IRS was filing a lawsuit against me. To get more information about this filing, I'm instructed to immediately call their department at 315-557-6521
I received the same recorded message this morning!!!! I called the number back blocked and a male answered and I asked why I was calling because he only said hello??? He told me the IRS and I hung up!!!
