just received call from man with heavy foreign accent- could not determine nationality, perhaps mid Eastern or Indian- stating he is with the IRS and claims IRS has filed a lawsuit against me, wanting to know if I have a criminal lawyer to represent me- I told him to send the notice by mail, which he stated 'he is trying to make it simple'- I asked for a call back number- I know the IRS does not initiate contact by telephone, so I checked this out to find others who have received similar calls
A phone scam. Left message on my vm. Supposedly is a legal department of the IRS filed legal action against me for tax evasion. Supposed to call right back along with my attorney. I don't think so.
Just got the same recording this morning from that scammer:
"That was the IRS Legal Department. We have received a legal <garbled> notice filed under your name by the Internal Revenue Service at the federal claims courthouse for tax evasion and tax avoidance. I want you or your retained attorney to get back to us immediately or I will call that number which is 321-209-8741. I will repeat the call back number for the legal department at the Internal Revenue Service is area code 321-209-8741. This is a time sensitive matter so I want you or your retained attorney to get back to us immediately. Good bye."
I hope no one who gets this call will think it is legitimate!
