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.

If you feel you SSN has been compromised, in addition to putting a fraud alert at the 3 credit bureaus, you may want to notify the IRS. Here is the link, fill out the proper form (probably 14039):

Just got a message regarding an "enforcement action" from the US Treasury and requires serious attention. If I don't call back, it is considered ignoring an official criminal action and I'll be hauled in front of a grand jury, etc. etc. Have long ago stopped taking these calls seriously and have blocked half the phone numbers in the US but still these calls come through. Don't these guys have anything else to do with their time?!
Tony McClung from US Treasury in Brooklyn -- there is no US Treasury office in Brooklyn. Really from the far east/India. Threatened a lawsuit by the IRS unless I cooperated. A Scam
