This number called me and left a message. It was an auto message stating they are with the IRS and that this is a final notice before a lawsuit is filed against me. Total BS as the IRS will NEVER call.

I had a call from this number saying it was the IRS and it was my final notice. It said that they were suing me and I needed to call them to resolve the matter or I'd be arrested. It was a computer voice that called. I thought I'd mess with them so I called and a man answered. He said he needed my name so I gave it to him. Then he asked for my address and I told him if they were suing me then they should already have my address. He told me that he needed my address to look it up on his computer. I told him that I wasn't comfortable giving out that information. He got flustered and then continued to ask for my address. Then I asked him for their main number. He asked if I meant that I wanted the IRS's main number. I said yes and he wanted to know why. I told him that I needed to check them out so he said that the IRS's main number was 1-800. He then went on to ask why I wanted to call them so I said that I just wanted to check all this out. I asked for the number again and he said that he'd already given it to me and that it was 1-800. I said that this was only part of the number so what was the rest. He then said 300. I waited for the rest while he continted to tell me that I really needed to resolve this matter. I said that he still hadn't given me the whole number and that hed given me 1-800-300- then what. He said 68. I waited for the last two numbers then finally asked him for the last two numbers. He finally said 52. I said okay thank you and hung up. I then dialed the number he'd given me and it turned out to be a Capital Loan business. You would think that if he was with the IRS that he would know the IRS's main phone number. Wouldn't you??? LOL
These scammers have upped their game this past year, and are cleaning up. Don't be fooled, the irs NEVER calls you, they only correspond by mail. Some good news though, India just busted several call centers recently. Here is some helpful links. But, remember, they use lots more numbers than this one. Do a search, and find tons of postings.
