Text of Scam: “Hello, this call is a final notice from IRS (Internal Revenue Service). The reason of this call is to inform you that IRS is filling a law suit against you. To get more information about this case file, please call immediately 631.323.5579. I repeat 631.323.5579. Thank you.”
Notice that the telephone ID does not have the IRS name. It would if it was actually an official call from the IRS. However, this is not how the IRS does business. The IRS is a government entity and puts official actions in writing. Thus, the IRS will send a letter to your address on their letterhead if you owe them money.
