I have received several messages with this funny accent , saying that IRS has filed charges against me, I answered the phone today and the person and I could not understand nothing of what he was telling, what I told him that I was going to report to the police , That I know that IRS will send you a letter in any case, he hang up on me.
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.

I received the same call and message. I have a app on my phone that is called hiya and it said it was a scam. But i am so relieved. You all be bless and safe.
I received a call from 202-754-8400 saying the IRS had filed a lawsuit and criminal charges against me. It was definitely a robo call, and it came up as a DC area code. I have a feeling that this is a major SCAM. just trying to get the word out.
