WARNING FROM THE IRS re. SCAM PHONE CALLS

I just got one of these phony calls from a 213 area code number. I wish I had recorded the entire number, but I thought it was probably a political poll, since the 213 area code is Washington, D.C.  Another friend got a call like this last week.  Looks like they are expanding their call list from immigrants and the elderly to include just about everybody.  Don't believe a word of their spiel, telling you they are the IRS and you are going to be sued if you don't return the call immediately.  Just hang up.  This is another scheme to get bank info., etc.   Please read the following warning from the real IRS about this scam:
