*SCAM*I received a voicemail but not a missed call from an automated voice informing me that "IRS is filing lawsuit against you."(the poor grammatical structure is part of the quote) I call the number left in the message to hear a very heavy non-american (not Hispanic, Japanese, French, Irish, Canadian, British, German, or Russian either) accent tell me his name was Shawn Wilson... I asked him if he was sure that he was in fact the IRS since reverse look-up says otherwise. He hung up on me. I called back rather humored to try again. I got the same guy who attempted to get my information. I told him I was returning a call and he should look up my information with the number I called from. He hung up on me again. 99.9% sure this was a scammer (.01 for bored teenagers) but am not convinced in the slightest that it's the IRS coming after my flawless tax practices. I have reported this to the IRS as well. (FYI if you've read this before it's because I am going to every site I can find to post this! *Added a list of other accents I'm quite familiar with that I know his was not.)
