Automated message from this number was left on our answering machine.  The message stated that the IRS is filing suit against us and it is important that we call this number immediately. It sounds like a fraud / scam.  I plan to ignore it. The real IRS would send me something in the mail. Plus, it is not yet April 15.  Lastly, the IRS has a website to deal with if you owe.

The IRS crooks work the phones year around and not just during tax time.  Their favorite is past due or unfiled taxes from past years. Also, the IRS doesn't sue...they have you prosecuted if circumstances call for it.      Al Capone.

They left an automated message saying that they were calling from IRS and that this was the last warning before they would sue us. Knew it was a scam but called back. A person answered: IRS, can I help you. I asked what this BS was all about and he hung up. I called back and asked again why they called me and he hung up. These people make me so mad!!!

I do not know what the caller ID said, but a recorded lady's voice message was left that said this was the IRS's office. They have been trying to reach you. This is the final notice before the IRS will be filing a lawsuit against us. Please call them at 716-393-9770 I decided to play along with them and record our conversation which was very difficult to hear and interpret - cutting in and out of phone, large volume of ppl talking in background. Man who answered had HEAVY Indian type accent, hardly understandable and often not audible. He told me my case file # was #CC1928 ( I may have missed any further #s if there were. I was constantly telling him I could not understand what he was saying and wanted to make sure I got it right). He finally identified himself as "Sam Johnson". He wanted me to write down his employee ID# also which was 35243 for Sam Johnson. Yea right. He told me that they had gone thru my taxes from 2008-2012 and found something "very interesting". I owed a number of thousands of dollars which I could NOT understand how much he was saying. I did hear later that he said the amount owed which included attorney's fees was $7860.00 !!!! He then asked me, was there any reason that I know of why this happened? Phone was blanking out. When we got connected again, he said he was going to transfer me to the accounting dept so we could make arrangements. LONG PAUSE: Man gets on who sounds very much like the original. He was not on the phone long. Bad reception - extreme amount of noise in background. I asked him so what is the breakdown of the taxes I owe ? (since they said this included attorney's fees). He said $7860. He said something inaudible and I heard him say "so that I won't be arrested". I started asking about that. "What you're saying I'll be arrested?" AFter that it was quiet again….and finally phone went dead. (I had not gotten to tell him yet how horrible it was to make a living trying to scam innocent people. Typically, I would keep calling a phone number like this until they couldn't take hearing from me anymore and whoever answered, I'd be asking why do you spend your time, or try to make a living by scamming people, etc. These people have ZERO ETHICS. ZERO MORALS. Personally, I do NOT understand why scams like this cannot be stopped by the FBI. They WILL cause some people to panic).
