Trust me it's a scam-The IRS would mail a certified letter and not call. Do not answer calls you do not recognize and do not call them back. Usually they'll want you to pay by some kind of debit card, or Green Dot (?), i-tunes or something like that and they say only pay me so much (less then they initially told you). Do not believe them or their BS.

Look it up at the official IRS.gov site or use the link I have provided:
IRS Scam:
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. The IRS does not accept payment in Itunes Cards, Amazon gift cards, or any other type of payment other than cash, check, credit or debit card (from normal everyday citizens).
