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.
heavy indian accent about a month ago he called me saying he is Jordan woods from the irs. today same message left for my son! call back immediately or else! so sick of the scammers! get a real job!!!
I made a mistake, I called this number.The guy is in an indian accent. Extreme bad accent. He said, police is coming, i will be handcuffed, all my credit card, debit card will be blocked today in an hour, i might go jail for a year. The only resolution is if I pay $4000 dollar right now - then everything will be fine. At that moment i got the picture... Its a fraud! Please please dont get confused. IRS never email or call. They will contact you with mail.
