Someone with a heavy foreign accent left a message today on my answering machine. He said he was "Officer Daniel Smith" from the Federal ..... Dept. I couldn't understand the specific department, but I'm already aware that this is a scam. I just turned 65 and I'm sure they are targeting seniors. Do they think we're stupid?
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us. I received as similar call, as well. Was told a lawsuit was being filed by IRS against me and that I needed to call (Kevin) back immediately. Like everyone else, the call disturbed me.
I just now got a call from "Unavailable" which was a computerized voice telling me the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me. Told me to call this number.
Just got a call from 70612113400010 from RUSSIA. Called 3 times. I answered the last call to see if a live person was calling so I could get more information on this obvious scam. I was told to call 607-330-7935, a domestic number - unknown. Said the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me. Bullcrap! the IRS would NEVER call to give anyone a heads up that individual is being sued by the IRS, and this is the final notice. If you get a call like this, DON'T answer it. Whoever is working this scam is a putz. How stupid do they think people are! Again, the IRS will never call to give a heads up about them filing a lawsuit against a person. You would get official written notice from the IRS (example: in the form of a tax lien on your home) if they were taking such action. jerks. And they called during working hours no less. Can't believe they are SO STUPID!!
