Same happened to us. Returned from a camping trip to a message with this number saying it was a final notice from the IRS for a lawsuit. When was the last time the IRS made a call like that without a certified letter to your home? Knew right from the start is was a fake.

I got the same call threatening me that the IRS is suing me. I hope you all file a report with the federal government for this fraudulent scam intended to steal our identities. Make these folks go to jail!!!

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.
