I also received the computerized call from the IRS saying they were filing a lawsuit. When I called the # back the person said that if I didn't pay $2563 in the next two days, then there would be a lawsuit and criminal charges filed against me.
I did not give my name but they knew who I was and my address when they answered the phone. They said that they had evidence against me and gave me a case #.
I asked several times if it was the IRS and they said it was but it just didn't add up. I reported it to the IRS.
I have received several calls from this number, and they told me the irs has sent me several notices, which I never received. When telling them this, they said they would see me in court and hung up. Hard for me to understand them also.
From what I am seeing, everyone started to get this call within the last hour. I just got one of my own about 10 minutes ago, the voice was computerized and was a pretty bad job of it. I have had past dealings with the IRS, and this is not how they contact you, let alone having a badly used computerized voice from the 90s. Also, the IRS does not just say they are going to sue you, they are the IRS. First they audit you, and then take what they feel is owed. I haven't tried calling them back and I am not even going to bother. This is obviously a spam tactic. Maybe we are some of the few that had our data stolen with the huge IRS breach this year.
I received this call on my cell phone, did not answer but they left a voice message indicating I needed to call this number to get a case #. I blocked the number and will not be calling! So tired of all the scams -
