Received a recorded message that the IRS had a lawsuit against me. When I called back, a man with a very strong accent answered. He could not understand me and asked me again and again to speak slowly. (When he asked, he was very rude.) He had my home phone number and previous address. Told me that I could pay the $2586 or meet them in court the next morning. When I asked to speak to his supervisor, he told me he was the supervisor! When I asked for his name, he refused to give it. I told him I hope the phone call was being recorded because he was acting so very unprofessional. I hung up and, still not realizing it was a scam, I called back 5 minutes later. Same guy answered but much more polite. Thinking it was a different clerk, I told him I had received a call but had not gotten much information from the person I had spoken to. I told him I wanted to report that person. Suddenly, the guy seemed polite, "I am so sorry he was rude. Am I being rude now? Do you know the name of the person?" As soon as he heard that I didn't have the name, he hung up. Can someone please put this specific phone number on the official IRS website to warn people like me who don't know how to search the web? (I called a younger friend who helped me out.)
Got same call, some computer woman telling me that the IRS had a case on me and that I needed to call that phone number. Obviously a scam, the message didn't even ask for me by name. Besides, I would expect IRS business of this kind to first be initiated by mail. Now that I am older, almost a senior citizen, I get tons of these calls from rip-off artists thinking that I have lost my thinking capacity.
Yep; same experience. Two phone calls this week; one coming from 360-200-4562 and the other from 360-244-4277.
Finally picked up the second time; automated message stating that I was being sued by the IRS.
I call back 360-244-4277; someone that could barely speak english asked for my name. I asked what company is this that I just called and got hung up on. SCAM - reporting to IRS; going to block the call.
I just received a phone call from a man claiming to be with the Internal Revenue Service he asked for my husband and said he was suing us for tax evasion. I laughed at him and told him I worked for a CPA firm and filed all my own taxes and didn't owe a dime to the IRS. He kept asking me "you work where?" He was also foreign and started getting upset with me because I told him he wasn't with the Internal Revenue Service then told me to go "F" myself and hung up on me......LOL
Got a call from IRS at 6:20 this morn saying I was being investegated by irs , gave me phone no n said to call immediately. I thought IRS doesn't start work at 6:20 a m . Called my son he looked up the number after telling me not to call them that it was a scam. I'm 71 , old doesn't mean stupid. Don't fall for this crap, use your head and shut these mothers down, if u get my meaning.
Got the early morning call from 360-244-4240 and a second call in the aft. saying "Final Notice." I knew it was fake as they called my Comcast home ph....I never give this # out and it's not the one I list on my tax returns. Also, they say the IRS is sueing "You" how random??? (The IRS doesn't need to sue anyone, they just audit!) This is a complete SCAM!
