I just got a message on my phone from an "unavailable" number. I hate these phone calls :( The message said it was from the IRS and they were getting ready to sue me--and of course, to contact them at an included phone number.
This one was meant to inspire panic in me, but before I even let my mind run, I got on the computer and googled "IRS Scam Phone Calls". I found some very helpful information here on the IRS' website: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Tax-Scams-Consumer-Alerts
No worries. The information on this page totally confirmed that the phone message I received was a scam. It makes me mad that people do stuff like this--make people panic--just to cheat them out of money. The love of money can cause people to do a lot of wrong things...
Our accountant cautioned us about those calls. He said the IRS will never call you like that.
