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).

We have gotten three voicemails from this number, one on 9/2 and two on 9/6, telling us via a computer voice, they are the IRS and to call back immediately before they start legal action. I have filed a complaint with the Do Not List so they are aware on these people and can start legal action of their own. hang em' high
Scam. If you owe penalties, taxes, etc, the IRS will send you letters - via USPS snail mail. They do not call you. Nor do they threaten you and demand you pay immediately over the phone.

This is fraudulent!! Recieved numerous calls stating they are the IRS. When I call the number back , and call their bluff, I'm hung up on. Extremely tired of this...
