Who called from 4323604955

Got a call from this number stating that they were the IRS, and that the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me, wanted me to return their call for details.  I seriously doubt the IRS would notify me of a lawsuit against me over the phone. However, with the on going IRS scandal they may be that stupid.

Just got the same call stating they were from the IRS and a law suit was being entered.

There is a widespread IRS (or CRA) or "tax scam" being  practiced by scammers on both USA and Canadian residents.

USA tax payers should read this:

Canadian tax payers should read this:

Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.
