I also received this call, and almost fell for it because I am a graduate student who has applied for Federal grants. If you were a victim of this fraud, please go to ic3.gov and report it. Even if they did not actually scam you or get your money, please report it so they will be stopped!!!
The message left for me was, "The IRS has begun a lawsuit against you. Call this number for details." Last I heard, Hell hadn't frozen over so I haven't called.
Message stated. This is the IRS calling to let us know we were being sued and we should call 360-807-5355 for case information. The IRS doesn't call you.
Received this call 8-17-15 and the recording stated "This is your final notice!" The IRS is suing you, blah blah blah, and to
call this number back as soon as possible for information." Okay, so sue me!
They left a message re: a case against me. I tried calling the number back and it was busy. I tried calling back to get more info and they never answered the phone. Then I googled it and read all the comments.
