IRS scam. Says it's the IRS and they are filing a lawsuit. Robocall gives number to call. (Yes, I knew it was a scam the moment the recording said it was the IRS.) Called back. Dude with heavy Indian accent answered "I R S" Asked him why he called. Apparently he couldn't match the CID from the generic GoogleVoice number to the landline digits in their spool. He then alternated between denying he called me, and that he "is THE I R S" and he is filing a lawsuit. Finally hungup on me after I demanded he tell me the full name and address he thinks mine are.

I suspect that if you call back from the number they rang you on, they'll have a "case file" containing whatever your telco directory listing, or scraped-from-your-business-website shows.

WHATEVER YOU DO, *UNDER ABSOLUTELY NO CIRCUMSTANCES* MUST YOU CONFIRM ANY INFORMATION THEY HAVE. And, *ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY or provide any information...especially banking information.

Yup, scam saying they are the IRS from an automated voice that doesn't even give you a file number. Don't give out info!!

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

First call from these MORONS today.  Didn't answer and they left a message.  IRS and a lawsuit.   Yeah right!  Female without an accent.    Anything to make money without working!   Lazy sleaze balls!

They tried the same thing with me on September 9, 2015. They knew of my home address and demanded, a payment of $5,800 in back taxes, from 2008 / 2014. I told them if they wanted to sue for back taxes, being the IRS come on with it or F*** Off.
