Received a call from this number twice. Both times sent it to voicemail. When I played the voicemail it was not identified as an IRS call. My recording said that it was an emergency call and to return the call for further information.
Scammer who poses as the IRS. I did not answer. But message stated: "The IRS is filing suit against you. To get more information regarding this case file, Please call immediately department number (806) 395-2809. I repeat: (806) 395-2809, Thank You!" A cursory search on the internet will show this number is a wireless number owned by Verizon. The US Government (in particular, the IRS) will NEVER call you, especially from a wireless phone. They will always have a landline, HOWEVER, first they will always send a letter of any action against you, such as an audit. This is a scam to get your Social Security Number and to extort money from you. They will state that you owe the IRS $x,xxx.xx amount of money, which you will have to pay (by a certain date) in order to avoid jail time & more monetary penalties. DON'T BUY INTO THIS LOAD OF CRAP!!!

The IRS warned of phone scams in 2013.
Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.
