I received a call from a robot saying that the IRS was going to be filing a lawsuit again us and we needed to call back asap to the 917-310-1313 phone number. Ironically my MIL did have one of her tax returns recently audited and we did owe tax on it, so I did call back because I was concerned that the call was regarding that issue. When I called I got ahold of a heavily accented man who then explained that there was some sort of numerical error for tax years 2008-2012 and that we owed $3287 I said BS because if that was the case we would have received something by mail, and if we hadn't responded it would have come certified, not some sketchy phone call, and that there was no way in HELL I would be giving them any information over the phone and I wouldn't be paying crap until they could show me in writing what this "Numerical" error was.
