This guy is a scammer operating out of Pakistan. Easily recognizable by the accent. Uses the name "Mike Anderson" but has no knowledge of the Washington DC area. Phone number is actually an AT&T Mobile phone registered as Hindsville, AR.
I got a call from this number stating they were the legal department of the IRS and I needed to call them right away. I called back and they asked for my fist and last name. I asked them to tell me who they were. The man demanded that he was from the IRS legal department and I asked him to send a letter. He said, I do not need to prove myself to you and he hung 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.
