"What ever happened to the "do not call" registry?" It is still there and legitimate companies obey it. Criminal do not and never will. Especially foreign criminals from India and Pakistan whose governments cherish the bribes they pay them to look the other way.
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.
