Keep getting calls from this number. They leave the same recorded message every time. Something about being time sensitive and if I don't call back then all they can say is good luck? lol....really annoying tho.
I got a call from this company and they left a voicemail saying I was being sued by the IRS. It sounded like a prerecorded that took place in a bathroom in India (not to be racist, he just had an Indian accent). Yeah. Seems legit.
Yes, he said the IRS was suing me and this was my last chance to answer the charges. He said that they had been trying to contact me. Since I was refusing to cooperate, the FBI would be at my house at 4pm to arrest me. He did not ask for money or personal information. He did not have a case number. But I know that the IRS does not call people. I checked with my tax accountant, who had been getting calls all morning about this. I reported it to the IRS phishing site.

Answered the call because I already knew it was going to be a scam from the elements of it alone, starting off with the voicemail it says it's an urgent matter and needs to be addressed immediately as it's time sensitive, yet they don't state their name, their company, who they're looking for, etc.
It's a scare tactic, they want people to call them up and be surprised they're talking to the "irs" so they can try to take advantage of them in their time of panic.
Second of all, he mentions that you're going to jail that same day because the "IRS" has tried numerous times to contact you before that point in time because you owe an "outstanding amount of money", trust me if the IRS wanted to reach you either by postal or calling regarding money especially about them being owed it, they would reach you.
I gave them a fake name too, so that didn't exactly help their case when they couldn't even put the correct name with the correct number.
This is a fraudulent practice looking to take advantage of people, just hang up on these clowns they have nothing better to do with their time but try to take other people's hard earned money.
