Do I need to report this call to anyone? They'very called three times so far today. They are calling my 83 year old mom and it is making her anxious. How long til they give up?
It may take a while. They try to brow beat elderly people into paying them extortion money and then once that happens they keep at it until the victim is broke. Get a call blocker or call blocking phone for her so tht they can't get through.
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.
