Yea, the IRS makes it easy. A real scary envelope shows up. If you ignore that long enough, they send agents with guns. They don’t bother with email or phone calls.
I received a bs call from some scammer claiming I had to buy a gift card at Walgreens to pay them. I kept laughing at him and he said he is sending the SWAT team now. I told him send a big team, I will make the Branch Dividens look like a cake walk. I guess I scared him off because they never showed up.
