Getting daily calls on cell and home # from 716-265-1615 - I don't answer. I called from another number and it sounds like they are in a call center in the background and he answered Thank you for calling the Verification Dept. of the IRS, how can I help you. I hung up. Keeps calling over and over and I just never answer. Need to permanently block the number, gotta get ahold of my phone company and cellular
Just got a call from this number, claiming IRS was filing a lawsuit against me. I informed him that the IRS only sends written notification of lawsuits. He claimed no one at this address was available to sign, so all the notices were returned. That would be shocking news for the concierge desk, if true! I asked if he was calling from Mumbai, since he had such a strong accent. He was flustered and tried to continue with his script, so I asked for a supervisor...one was put on immediately, who also had a thick Indian accent. I told him what to do with his "lawsuit." They're getting more sophisticated, so be careful
The IRS will never call an individual, so I answered the phone and called them out on it. Mind you, I have had experience dealing with the IRS during a tax audit, so I know how they contact you - by the mail and by subpoena. It was fun.
