Got a call from this number on my cell. It said it was from Austin, TX. They left a message saying the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me. I called it from another number and a guy with a strong Hispanic accent answered "IRS, can I help you. Now, I know that when you call the IRS, there's about a 0.00000001 chance of your getting a human to answer after going through about 387 layers of voice menus...lol! I thought that was BULLoney, so I googled the number. It was not on this site already, but on whitepages.com, they say that this number is flagged as "extortion." So, be warned and beware! I blocked the loser.
I get at least 5 to 6 calls a week from this number saying the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me. Too bad the caller didn't realize they had contacted a retired federal agent who dealt with IRS. Hello bogus scammers, the IRS does not call, they send letters.
I get multiple phone calls from this number every week. I finally called the phone number back. The guy who answer the phone was obviously a scam man. Like someone said in a previous post, the IRS does not call anyone. They do not hire investigating offices to track people down about a lawsuit. For God's sake, they are the IRS! They have more power in this country than anyone else. They will contact you by mail, they will freeze your assets or cease your property. The one thing they will not do is simply call you to tell you they are going to be filing a lawsuit.
How is it this guy is still able to make these phone calls?! Why has someone not stepped in and taken him into custody and throw him into a deep dark hole?!
I gave him some very specific instructions on what he should do before telling him to lose my number. I've been blocked his number.
Received 3 phone robocalls from this number this morning saying the IRS was filing a lawsuit. Attempted to call back out of curiosity, but only got a rapid busy signal. Usually that's a sign that the network has issues. Google says the number is a landline out of Austin TX.
