I answered my home phone - got a message to call 360-284-4872. he said he was calling from IRS. I DID call them back. they asked for my phone # and i gave it to them. Irs is suing more over taxes. in 45 minutes an agent will come to my door and arrest me! ha! the only thing that is wierd is that they didn't ask me for any money or my social security #. I asked where he was calling from - Washington DC. heavy indian accent on both the original call and the person who I spoke w when I called them back.
Robocall claiming to be from the IRS and stating that a lawsuit has been filed, directing a return call to this number. Did not pick up and did not return call, as I knew it was a scam as others have reported.
Got a call from 360-284-4872 caller threatened with message she left to sue me over tax bill. Of course I know I have NO tax bill. The caller ordered me to return the call and of course I DID NOT and WILL NOT

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
