I answered, out of curiosity, and it's a scam claiming to be the IRS stating they are filing a lawsuit against me. The IRS will NEVER call you!! They may send written notification or contact you in person (with proper ID) to notify you of these things, but will never notify you via pre-recorded message.
Received the same call claiming to be from IRS. Call sounded very authentic but Knew it wasn't from them and was a scam. Hope others should benefit from our warnings!!!
Started receiving calls every hour or so yesterday, today received a couple. Got a computerized recording that I owed $ to the IRS (NOTE: The IRS will NEVER call you for money over the phone, only through the mail). The recording left same phone number. I called back and stated that this was a scam and to stop. The first person I talked to said they were sorry (after a while) and they were trying to quit and needed the money. They did not know when they were hired that they were working for a scam... not sure I believe that. Told him to take my number off of the list, he said he would... BUT, my id number when calling is not my actual direct line, so I knew my number would still be on the list. Within an hour after that another call from the same number, left another computerized message. Called back and held one of the keys on phone down to annoy them. Meanwhile in the background the guy was pretending to be taking someone's personal information. Then I confronted him and said things like, "did your mom and dad raise you to be a scammer"... etc. The person this time (different one) started saying very foul language. I kept up my end and they finally hung up. I've registered my number with the "do not call list", but have to wait 31 days I guess in order to block this number. Anyway, I will annoy the h*ll out of them as they are annoying the h*ll out of everyone else.
