I was threatened with a lawsuit because the IRS is trying to locate me for some reason. I don't owe any money to the IRS and I'm sure they wouldn't telephone me anyway. I'm sure this is a scam because I've never received any hard copy documents about this. I just want people to be aware of these phone calls. The name on my caller id looks like BRTSHURGNS BU

This was a threat call to extort money out of me for a made up tax fraud. The guy was not believable at all plus I am a CPA and very familiar with the IRS practices so I hung up quickly.
