received a woman's voice in a recorded message telling me this was their last attempt to reach as they were the IRS and they are filing a lawsuit blahblahblah. funnt thing is I never of these people before.
These comments are spot on. The IRS notifies citizens of any business via the US mail, not via telephone. These scammers know that 'IRS' frightens people, and the hope is that we will then call and cough up our personal information, including Social Security numbers. Do not EVER give such information to a cold-caller! Unless you have initiated a call to an entity you trust, assume that anyone asking for your personal data is a thief.

Just received the same call as all the comments above. I am glad I found this site. I was almost ready to call my Tax guy. However, it did come off a little fishy when no names were mentioned of who they are trying to contact, case # and when the recording said it was the IR-Est, Damn scammers are trying to take advantage of people who do not know better.
