Automated message saying that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me if I do not call back.

I recd a call this morning at 10:08 AM and there was a voice msg on my answering machine that stated I am from the IRS and we are trying reach you and they were going to file a suit against me. I spoke w/a man that had a heavy foreign accent and I could not understand him. I asked him to speak with someone with English as a first language. He started hitting some numbers on his ph and we were disconnected.

I have received two calls saying that I owe the IRS money. I know it's a scam, but I wanted to report it.

Robo phone call stating that the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me

I received a voice mail.Caller said from IRS and they were filing a law suit. The number they called from is private. They asked me to call them back at 202-704-4938

I recd a call at 2:38 PM yesterday and it was a recorded msg. I answered the phone and a woman stated they were w/the IRS and I need to contact them. She stated we could be sued so I just hung up.

They called and said they were the IRS and that they were going to sue me.

My daughter was contacted on her cell phone from someone saying that she owed the IRS money. I took the phone from her and they said that she owed $3240. They said that her accountant made a mistake. They said if she hung up they were going to issue a warrant for her address. She was prepared to give them her credit card information and pay it- and was in tears because they kept threatening.

A call came in at 2:59 pm on our house phone I have instructed my elderly mother not to answer calls from numbers she does not recognize to let them leave a msg. An automated recording left a msg as follows "hello this is the IRS we are attempting to collect back taxes, if you do not call us at our business number (left same number that called, which came up on caller ID as cell phone IN ), and immediately settle this debt we will take action against you."

Also my daughter got the same call within a few minutes of previous one she was at wrk and got the msg. The call came in on her cell phone which is under my mother's name as well because they are on a Tmobile plan together. She actually called them back and said person asked her name, she told them, they immediately started in by telling her she owed back taxes from 2009-2014 and if she did not pay immediately they would freeze her assets (she has none) and file charges against her and put her in jail. They spoke with a heavy accent were clearly foreign she thought maybe of middle eastern descent or hispanic. She panics of course and tells them her mom did her taxes those years because she was in college, they proceeded to ask was the mistake intentional or accidental? And continued with threats. She asked how could she take care of this and they told her she needed to purchase a $1500 Itunes gift card and send to an address. She finally caught on and said since when does the IRS take Itune gift cards for any type of payment?? They continued with threats. She hung up on them. She is in her mid 20's. But I truly feel they were attempting to target my elderly mother being they called house then cell phone which is in my mother's name.
