Ladies and gentlemen,
In the last two days, I received two 'final notice' phone messages allegedly from the IRS. It says that if I don't respond to the message, a law suit will be filed against me.
The entire phone message is computer generated and the phone number it says to call starts as "02".
Either the scammer made a mistake when the fake phone number to call was inserted into the message and left out a digit, or the number is an international number.
It doesn't really matter, though, because the call is NOT from the IRS, and is also not a final notice. No name is mentioned in the phone message - mine or the person to call or even a department to call.
Bottom line, if you get a call like this one and it scares you, look up a real phone number for the IRS and call it to find out if there is any kind of claim against you by the IRS.
There are warnings about scams like this IRS web site:
