This morning we received a phone message in an automated female voice, purportedly from the IRS today saying they are filing a lawsuit against us. "Immediately call 360-851-1764, I repeat 360-851…". Obviously some sort of scam. Irritating!
message on ans machine with the same "warning" from the IRS. She was obviously reading from a script...almost laughable if it wasn't so darn annoying. This scam has been in the newspapers and on TV. i hope no more poor souls are taken in by it. Imagine the IRS using "Unknown caller" as caller ID...really?!
The no. I was to call was 360-851-1764...I hope these frauds are caught soon!
Also got the threatening voice mail message (4 times!) "that the IRS is filing lawsuit against" me. I called the IRS and they said IRS NEVER files a lawsuit. They have the power to empty all your bank accounts if you do not cooperate (which we did experience a few years back by their mistake, which was immediately rectified. Scariest thing I ever experienced...EVERYTHING GONE!) Also, the IRS will NEVER call you. They always communicate via USPS mail...One thing you can count on from the IRS : ) I wish these scammers could be jailed!
