I keep getting a call from this number saying that they are the IRS? When I called back a person that could hardly speak English just kept saying "yes, yes this the IRS. He would not give me any further info as like his employee ID number or where he was located. I told him to take my number off of his list and NOT to call here any more. For 2 weeks now when I get home from work and even on the weekends they call at least 2 times a day.

This is the most widely publicized scam in America, I can't believe that people still haven't heard about it.
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).
