The IRS does not initiate communications
with a "cold call" to unsuspecting people.
Instead
The IRS always sends a letter, first!

Automated phone call that it was IRS last attempt to collect.  Call came at 6:40 am. Ugh.

It's a scam been getting a lot of calls like that recently. Becareful people do not! I repeat do not give any of your information to them!

Left voice mail indicating that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against you to get more information to please call immediately.

Remember this is a scam, do not call. IRS sends notices in the mail if they want to get in contact with you.
