The scammers left voicemail on my cell phone. They stated they had attempted to contact me by mail, 3 times in the last 6 months. Since I had no response they were taking that as I intentionally frauded the I. R. S. That the U. S. Government was filing warrants for my arrest and a lawsuit being filed against me and my family. I was to return the imediately at 970-316-0853. It was an automated female voice. Thankfully I had previously been informed that the I.R.S only contacts by U. S. Mail. Never phone calls or email

When I returned the call the person answering the phone indicated they were the Internal Revenue Service. Based on their answer to questions I determined they were not the IRS and I hung up.

I received a phone call. I let it go to voice mail. The message said this is the Internal Revenue Service. Call back before we pursue a law suit. Call as soon as possible. I received the call Friday and called the number (347) 386-6985 Monday 23 April 2018. It was a call center. Voice sounded foreign. My phone showed it was a New York phone number. I hung up right away. I did not speak to the person who answered the phone. Then I called the ScamPulse.com in Washington. I was advised it was a scam I was advised to report it. So I just did.

Without my phone even ringing, I got an automated voicemail from 501-391-1462, stating that the phone call was their final official notice that the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me. I called back, the caller claimed the IRS did an audit on me dating back 10 years and that I owed $2,500 in back taxes. The red flag that this was a scam is that I was only 14, 10 years ago.

I called some personal contacts along with the BBB, I was told it was probably a scam and if this ever happens again, I am to tell the caller to send me the court papers and then hang up immediately and do not carry on the conversation.

The caller said his name was Edward Killen and his ID is DM424360.

This number has called three times in the past two days. They have left a voicemail explaining that the Internal Revenue Service is filing a lawsuit against me, and to press one to connect with a representative. When they called back today I pressed one and the call disconnects. I called the number back and a person picks up with lots of noise in the background then hangs up the phone.

Calls and leaves voicemail about a law suit against. Has called multiple times during the day. When I return the call every person has a foreign accent and asks for my name and zipcode and as soon as I ask questions like a case number or what the suit is about the phone hangs up.

I also asked where they were and was told at one point they were in DC and I asked why they phone number says it is a FL area code and the person was trying to describe to me that they route the calls in various ways so that is why.

Is very suspicious.
