I just received a call from a NY phone number on my caller ID that read 1-631-581-9211. It was a recorded message that said that the IRS was suing me and that I needed to contact them immediately at 209-813-0138.
I called back the NY number and it is not in service. I called the 209 number and a gentlemen answered the phone as Gary Smith from the Internal Revenue Service, how may I help you. I said, "this in not the Internal Revenue Service and I have contacted the FTC to report suspicious activity." He did not give me the courtesy to rebut my claim and he just hung up.
