I received a call from a man of middle eastern descent telling me the IRS was suing me, i was like wow really i just got off the phone with the irs since i needed to call them and there is no lawsuit against me then he started cussing me out saying you a-hole go f yourself etc.. he was just mad that i caught him in his scam.
I received a message from this number telling me the IRS was suing me and to call them right back. My son called me very upset. I explained that if the IRS was really suing me, I would have been receiving a lot of correspondence prior to that happening and to ignore it. I called them back, they answer IRFS and was told I had a criminal offense against me and this was my last chance to settle this. I argued that if that was true, I would have received correspondence, he told me I would see. Oh well!!
I got a phone call today saying there was a lawsuit against me and I needed to call the number. I called the number and I was told that they were the IRS and there was a warrant out for my arrest because I had committed tax fraud. He then said that he was filing it and that it would be sent to me. I told him I didn't understand. He then very rudely proceeded to tell me blah blah blah and how could I not understand I had committed a criminal offense. I asked to speak with the manager and I was hung up on. They never asked me for identification or my any other personal information.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
