I received a voice mail from a California number 909-203-9575 yesterday stating that it was the IRS HEAD OFFICE and that they were suing me for tax fraud. I called them back just now and it was some foreign person telling me that I was being sued for tax fraud. He asked my name and I told him and then HE told me my address for confirmation and said that they've sent numerous certified mail to my home in November and I haven't replied so criminal proceedings are being started. I told him he's lying because I've been on maternity leave since November and no one has come to my door with any certified mail and that they would've left a notice. I could hear other people in the back ground like a call center. He told me that the lawyers had photos of the certified mail that was sent to me etc and they were going to go ahead with the proceedings. I told him to go right ahead and I hung up! I called the IRS to inquire about this but couldn't get through. I looked the phone number up on the Internet and found that this is a scam to collect your private info.
Calls saying they are the IRS and that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against you. You are instructed to call them back at the same number. Knew it was fake but wanted more info for reporting them so I called back. You get a message to state your name at the tone and them you are connected to a live person who is not American and just says "What". I asked why are you calling me and was ignored. I said I'm reporting you and hung up. Chances are this place is phishing and spamming for personal data.
