Someone left a message they intended to sound urgent in effort to get me to respond to them. They are telling me it was the official final notice from the IRS Internal Revenue Service to tell me they are filing a lawsuit against me. I should call immediately for more information. The IRS will not contact you this way. Additionally they will not call themselves the "IRS Internal Revenue Service".

I saw I was getting a call from a phone number registered in Deatsville, AL. I don’t anyone in Alabama. I didn’t answer it and sent it to voicemail. I was surprised when I noticed whoever it was left a voicemail. It was as follows: "Final Notice from the IRS Internal Revenue Service. The reason of this call is to inform you that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against you, to get more information about this case file please visit your local IRS office or call immediately on department phone number 334-600-2419. I repeat this is the IRS please response. Thank you."

Of course I knew this was a scam right away. I’m sure if this was a legitimate "finial notice", I would already know about my "lawsuit". The IRS would never call and leave this kind of message, they only reach out via USPS mail. Also I’ve never listed this phone number while filing my taxes or on any tax return documents. Please beware!

The following information was included in a separate report and resubmitted by a ScamPulse.com staffer:

On 4/3 I received a phone call from a 315 area code (315-509-0985–same area code but different phone number as this online company has on their website–I have never received a call from this number or area code previously). Call was an automated message to call back the number before they "could proceed legally". It was only half a message, so I didn’t know who I was calling or for what, although with the 315 area code I thought it might be about the jersey. When I returned call, I was told it was the IRS. Immediate red flag. They asked for my case number. I told them I had no case number or no case. She asked for name and address details to "verify" my case. I said I didn’t know who she was or who she was with. She provided me with a supposed name and badge number. I told her that this was obviously a scam. She said if I thought it was a scam I could just hang up. She beat me to it.

Type of a scam Tax Collection

I received a phone call from the "IRS" informing me that I was being sued for an audit done on my 2010-2016 taxes that found miscalculations amounting to $7201, with a total of $9,800 which includes the amount owed as well as interest and legal charges. As a result, my name had been blacklisted, I was going to be arrested, my Drivers License cancelled and all personal property ceased. I was given 2 options to rectify the situation, get a criminal attorney, or resolve the issue outside the courthouse. If I wanted to resolve the situation immediately, I needed to pay $2,000. They told me that talking to anyone regarding this lawsuit would result in immediate arrest. The first lady I talked to game me the name Christy McGlim with a badge number of GS1470 and case # BC1928. Then she passed me on to a supervisor. Cannot remember his name, nor did he provide me with any identifying information. I asked both individuals to tell me what SS# they had on file, neither would provide me with that number. I did not provide any additional information, nor confirm any information. I eventually hung up and called my accountant to see what was going on. After they asked me for $2,000 to make it all go away, I figured pretty quickly it was a scam.
