Who called from 7164730987

I received a phone call from this number this morning. They left an automated message on my voicemail saying "(beginning cutoff) the IRS. Internal Revenue Services. The reason of this phone call is to inform you that the IRS is filing law suit against you. To get more information about this case file, please call immediately on our department number (716)473-0987. I repeat (716)473-0987. Thank you."

There are several attributes of this call that indicate it's a scam. The most shining example is the use of "Internal Revenue Services". I played the message a few times to ensure I was hearing that correctly. IRS = Internal Revenue Service. Not Services.

There are numerous telephone and email scams in which individuals claim to be employees of the Treasury Department. These scammers often state that they are from the “Department of Legal Affairs,” offer grant money in exchange for you wiring a small payment, or threaten to arrest you within a short period of time unless payment is made. Do not provide personal information or payment to these individuals.  Their actions are crimes under Titles 18 and 31 of the United States Code, and the Treasury Office of Inspector General is working to stop them.

If they claim to be from Treasury, report  it to [email protected] with a description.  If it was a phone contact, include:
the exact date and time that you received the call(s)
the phone number of the caller
the geographic location and time zone where you received the call
a description of the communication.

If they claim to be from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or it is about taxes, report it to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at:

Thanks for the info. I reported the call via TIGTA.

Got the same call and answered it; instead of going to voice mail. It said it was from the Internal Revenue Service and they were filing a law suite against me and I had to call them back immediately. Ha!  Why the robo call and no real human on the other end? Also why no mail notification? I too will report it to the scam department and FCC.
