This was a recorded message saying the IRS was filing a lawsuit and to return the call immediately. If I returned the call I am sure they would have been happy to accept a credit card to pay off the “Debt”. Just another scam to try to scare money out of the unsuspecting.
Same here a morning and afternoon call, same recording, mechanical sounding female voice. IRS lawsuit.
Another IRS Scam. Received a voice mail from 360-967-4403 in Castle Rock WA. "Call immediately on our department number is 360-967-4403. I repeat 360-967-4403. Thank you."
When I called back the man claimed to be from the IRS. He said there was a lawsuit against me and that I owed money. Even though there is a "lawsuit against me" the man didn't even know my name.
If you get a call from this number do not give them any personal information.
You can also report the call to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration and FTC. See below

If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or think you might owe, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS workers can help you with a payment issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to believe that you do, report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1.800.366.4484 or at www.tigta.gov.
You can file a complaint using the FTC Complaint Assistant; choose “Other” and then “Imposter Scams.” If the complaint involves someone impersonating the IRS, include the words “IRS Telephone Scam” in the notes.
2 calls today saying they are from IRS about the case I filed, I need to call 360-967-4403 immediately. FRAUD!
Received the same two calls today from 1-360-967-4403, claiming they were from the IRS and going to file a lawsuit against me. I also have researched regarding the IRS, and the IRS states they only communicate via letter, not phone.
