Just got an automated call today but could not understand the call back number. It stated to return call to IRS for legal lawsuit. I called the missed call # of 310-579-2813, The guy said he worked for the IRS and was an auditor by the name of Tom O'Brien Badge G1682414, he said there was a filing error in the amount I owed to the IRS was different from what was filed in the past 7 years. He also said I could very this by calling the IRS at 800-945-0989. I immediately thought it was a scam because I always file taxes with an accountant. I did not even bother to call that number. I checked the IRS site and that ph# was not listed there and after searching the internet found out a lot of people were getting calls from this number to scam them about owing money to the IRS. In the IRS website is states they never call people about taxes paid or unpaid, they are always contacted my mail. This is a scam and can report this incident to TIGTA at 800-366-4484 and also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint. Include “IRS Telephone Scam" in your complaint. I found all this on the internet, it is a scam, if any of these scammers talk to you do not give them any personal information and report them.
