Got 2 calls today from this number. One in the Am, one in the PM. Both left a recorded message about the IRS filing a lawsuit yada, yada yada...I know it is a scam from overseas and would not be surprised if this is how Isis gets funded. When you call the number, it is busy...
"Hello. We have been trying to reach you" said the obvious female bot voice. Continuing with "the IRS is filing a lawsuit against you", that's when I hung up. Another transparent IRS scam call.
Here's what the real IRS says:
Quote:The IRS will not:
Call you to demand immediate payment. The IRS will not call you if you owe taxes without first sending you a bill in the mail. Demand that you pay taxes and not allow you to question or appeal the amount you owe. Require that you pay your taxes a certain way. For instance, require that you pay with a prepaid debit card. Ask for your credit or debit card numbers over the phone. Threaten to bring in police or other agencies to arrest you for not paying.
