Automated call to inform me about the IRS filing a lawsuit against me. Got it just in time, because it was apparently the final notice. Luckily, I was able to transfer iTunes gift cards in exchange to having my lawsuit dropped. Stay safe, everyone!
I've gotten numerous calls from this phone number (512) 813-7267 threatening that they're the IRS and they're going to sue me, for what, I don't know. It's an automated voice staying "Hello. This is the IRS. We've been trying to reach you....This is your final notice." I work for a CPA firm and the IRS will NEVER call you. They will always send you a letter through the US Postal Service for YOU to call them usually with a notice reference number like CP-10436.
The IRS does not initiate contact via a phone call, they first send postal letters.
The IRS does not threaten arrest.
The IRS does not demand immediate payment over the phone.
The IRS does not ask for Credit card, Debit card, or prepaid money card information, at all.
It is a scam ran by offshore criminals attempting to trick you into sending them money.
Hang up and report the call here:

Repeated calls from this number, threats of lawsuit, arrest, and then now calls just no info but call back. I am on the do not call list , obviously that is not helping.
