this was a recorded message stating that the IRS is suing me. Since 1. I don't owe any taxes to the IRS I know this bunk 2. I work for the federal government and if I did owe taxes I would have known about it long ago since they take it right out of my pay to cover the debt (it is part of a law that allows the fed to take what you owe no fuss no muss no argument they just take it)... so it is a scam for sure
Some [***] with an East Indian accent said we own the IRS $6,000....First of all, the IRS would never phone you up and tell you this. They would send out a letter....Plus the fact the area code of this number (360) is outside of Seattle, Washington. So if you get a call from these con artists tell them to go [***] themselves.....
Official IRS Government site detailing this scam and providing links to report it:

If you feel you SSN has been compromised, in addition to putting a fraud alert at the 3 credit bureaus, you may want to notify the IRS. Here is the link, fill out the proper form (probably 14039):
