This phone number has been calling my phone posing as the US Dept Of Treasury trying to get money. They are foreign speaking sounds middle eastern Scammers!
They called me a little while ago and I let it go to voicemail, for the life of me I could not figure out what he was saying. Sounded like 'legal affairs" and "suit brought against you". After reading the above comments, my call was a lot of those stories stitched together. They told me my lawyer could contact them. The man sounded middle eastern
The IRS does not need to sue anyone. They send you first class letters delivered by the Post Office. Several of them. Ignore those, and they then send certified letters that you need to sign for. Again delivered by the Post Office. Ignore those and they simply freeze your bank accounts and anything else you own. If they can do that, then why would they bother with a court case that might take them years before they get in front of a judge? They also do not bother arresting people for a few thousand dollars for the same reasons I have already given.
