Received a call from this number and they left a message advising that if I didn't return their call, the local "cops" would be looking for me. Just to entertain myself, I returned the call. After several rings, I received a voice mail, in an Arabic accent stating, "This is the IRS we are busy now, call back later." I'm thinking that I probably won't be calling back...
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.
