Ever wonder why a robotic voice keeps demanding you call back about an IRS lawsuit? The pattern is clear: a synthetic female voice, poor grammar, and a DC‑area number urging you to dial back for “more information.” This is a classic phishing scam designed to harvest personal data or extract money. Hang up immediately, never provide personal details, and report the number to the FTC or your phone carrier. Use call‑blocking apps and consider a spam‑filter service to reduce repeat calls. If you’re ever uncertain, verify directly with the official IRS 800‑829‑1040 line.
Operatiing overseas, these scamers use VOIP tecnology to hide their identites and locations, making them unreachible by US law enforcment.
My husband recieved 2 calls from this number today, both voicemails claiming that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against him and he need to call back immediatly, we didnt return the phone call, total scam...
On June 26, 2015, at 10:30 am CST, I received a call from this number, which displayed as being from Egypt on my caller ID. I rejected the call, but later found a voicemail from the same number, formatted as a US phone number. It's peculiar to note the difference in the number's presentation.
This is not a legitemate IRS call, it's a robo call from scammers
Recieved a call today stating it was a final notice from the IRS and they are filing chargers. They instructed me to call the number back, which I didnt. Its a total scam.
This morning's call ended abruptly, a clear indication of a scam.
A call was made, claiming to be from the IRS, and stating that a lawsuit was being filed, but the call was not returned
An automated English message was left on my answering machine, but the grammar and content suggested it was a scam.
I also recieved a call from a number claiming to be the IRS, stating that they were filing a lawsuit against me and that I should call back immediatly, which sounds like a scam.
Following a call from 202-864-1122, claiming to be related to a lawsuit for unpaid taxes, I discovered it was a scam after reading similar experiences, as they requested immediate payment to reduce the alleged debt
A message was left by this number, claiming a lawsuit was being filed against my wife and me, and requesting a return call for further information
On 6/4/2015, I got a call that I'm certain was a scam and reported the number accordingly.

I recieved a call today from DC, claim's the IRS is suing me, it's totaly crap
Another call was received, this time alleging that the IRS is taking legal action against me, originating from this number.
At 11:56 am today, I received a call from this number while in DC, and the message, including the errors, was:
Unfortunately, the situation is more complex, involving scammers impersonating IRS agents, predominantly from India and Pakistan, with a multi-agency task force working on the issue
A caller from this number falsely claimed to be from the IRS, stating I owed back taxes and needed to purchase a money order immediately to avoid federal court
It's puzzling that with all these posts, autorities like the NSA dont seem to be taking action, perhaps they could make a diference
They left a message saying I was being sued by the IRS and I needed to call them back, but when I did, they started asking for my personal info, so I told them I was going to call the real IRS and they got defensive
I recently received a call from this number.
A robocall was received, and upon checking the voicemail, only the end of the message was audible, requesting an immediate call to obtain details about a case file.
Thanks to the people who posted about this scam, it was very helpful.
Apparently, this number is linked to a scam originating from Pakistan or India, posing as the IRS, so beware and remember that the IRS does not initiate legal action over the phone.
I received a computer-generated message claiming to be from the IRS, stating that they were filing a lawsuit against me and requiring me to call back a specific number.
