Writer calls IRS after scammer threatens suit Sharon R thompson writes: I received the call last year from "irs" stating they were suing my husband and me, so I actually called the IRS. (I waited 40 minutes on the phone for someone but was determined to talk to them) the lady stated it was a scam that the IRS NEVER calls anyone, they always send notifications by mail never the phone.
