IRS will always write. IRS never calls. Above all IRS will never threaten you, IRS will never make an offer to settle your case over phone. Whatever IRS does, it will be in writing, and you will get a chance to contest or appeal your case with facts.
IRS has enormous resources and it will find your correct current mailing address if it needs to reach you.
If someone's calls and threatens you over phone with an arrest or big fines or punishment, it is a scam. That is not how our American justice system works. Don't fall for scams. Scams support criminal, terrorist groups.
The message on my answering machine was from somebody named Mike, I could not make out the last name, claimed he is from the IRS. I could not understand what he is saying. I have to listen to the message 5 times to get that he wants me to call him back on his direct line at 202-506-9166.
Please don't fall for this guy, he has been constantly calling everyone around my area. I called my lawyer and he said to report it to my local police department. So if anyone gets this call report it right away. Good luck and I really hope no one falls for this guy.
Called once hung up then called back left a message, a BAD Indian accent could not understand his message... only one Word IRS....... Smells like a SCAM
