I received a phone call today.  The woman said she was from the IRS and that I had to call her immediately since the IRS is filing a law suit against me.  The phone number she left on my answering machine is: (360) 203-3237.  I reported it to

IRS scam.  Do not call back.  Report it to the IRS.

same call I did not respond. SCAM

No, it is NOT the IRS. I got the same message just now. IRS does not contact you by phone, ESPECIALLY if you're being sued. They'd send you a letter and they'd make you call them.

NOT IRS.  TOTAL SCAM.  BEEN AROUND FOR AWHILE.   Ignore and block the calls.

Originates in either India or Pakistan.

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.   Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter.  But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters.  90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively.  IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes.  IRS has no powers of arrest.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of  money.  IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone.   IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case.  No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments.  Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but  usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement.    All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals.  All  contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.
