I received an automated message on my voicemail saying that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me. I called this # back and it was a foreign accent that answered my call with "Internal Revenue Service". I asked who he was twice and he hung up on me. The background noise made it sound like a call center.
On 06-01-16 I received a recorded message from a female stating this was the Internal Revenue Service (ie Federal IRS) and that they were filing a lien against us. I was told I could call 716-473-0868 to speak with an IRS officer about the amount due. The caller ID said it was from New York cell phone. The callers behind these calls are committing federal crimes by impersonating federal government officials and wire fraud. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the US Government NEVER CALLS anyone threatening to file a lien. They either personally serve papers or send notices via the mail. DO NOT CALL THE NUMBER LEFT WITH YOU. CALL your local US Attorney or 800 number for the IRS.
