Robocall from a Massachusetts number (413-986-5587); recording says it's the IRS calling and that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against you. Bullsh*t. The IRS doesn't cold-call (especially people with nearly perfect credit scores who don't owe the IRS a dime); nor do they leave messages threatening lawsuits in a voicemail. Tells you to call another number, 360-362-4730, which obviously, I did not. These a@@holes need to do some hard prison time!
Exact same message as before. I actually got a person who gave me an ancient address, which I questioned him on and of course I got a garbled, unintelligible answer. He then told me I was being audited from 2008-2012 (also reported here before) followed by a long pause in which the background noise was also diminished. Suspicious, I hung up and went online. Before I could even find anything HE CALLED ME BACK, wondering how I wanted to settle the $3,00blah blah and mumble mumble cents. This is where went off and told him nothing was going to happen until I saw it in writing. Aaand suddenly the phone really went silent. Their methodology is excellent- totally taps into fear of a lawsuit and an audit. Geez, add a clown and I'd still be shaking.
