I am trying to catch this guy that keeps leaving me pretty threatening letters like this, what should I do?

Question

Mandy Eichel · Accepted Answer

"There are some clues in the letter that maybe you missed.  The over emphasis on "we", as if to say 2 or more people typed the letter, lead me to believe that this person lives alone. The double space after a period. Usually done by somebody taught to type on a typewriter, or by somebody aged 30 or older and most likely female. Is somebody nearby selling their property right now? or maybe had a for sale sign for a while?  Correct grammatical use of your and you're indicates the author has a reasonable level of education. They don't need a friend at the IRS to have them investigate you, it seems desperate to need to emphasise a group conspiring against you. The calibri font used in the letter is a standard windows font from 2007 onwards, so you most likely aren't looking for a mac user or somebody with an old pc.  Hope this helps identify the sender. "

Leave this note on your own cab: I don't know you. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a way to get me in trouble, I can tell you, I don't have any unpaid taxes. But what I do have, are a very particular set of skills. Skills I've acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for the people like you. If you stop leaving me letters now, that'll be the end of it. I'll not look for you. I'll not pursue you. But If you don't, I'll look for you. I'll find you and I'll break your printer so you can't write anonymous letters.

Go to the copy shop, blow up his letter to be REALLY REALLY big, and write your response in equally BIG text on a BIG piece of paper with a copy of the laws. Post it on your front lawn and he'll get the message.

Nicole Kaestner · Answer

place a reply letter with the relevant laws attached at each house on your block that can see the cab, and sign a different name on each one. your secret admirer doesn't appear to know your name, so this might reveal them if they decide to reply

Mandy Eichel · Answer

Don't worry op, it's probably just some angry racist. Put up a camera and slowly build up some evidence that they've been bothering you.

EMERALD · Answer

You should leave a note on the cab that they're complaining about, they'll think its someone else complaining about the car and won't be able to resist having a look. Then communicate to them that if they have a problem with the vehicle and its something they would like to discuss, then to stop being so gutless and approach you in person. It may not work but its worth a shot.

"What a stupid threat. If the tax office all of a sudden DID decide to investigate your dad's back taxes, all you'd have to do is give a copy of that note to the relevant authorities and the "personal friend" who initiated the investigation would be in deep, deep shit. "

Selda · Answer

I'd write a letter. Copy and post it to all addresses. Dear sir I apologise for writing to you all like this, but someone has been sending me anonymous letters.  Rather than making veiled threats, I'd like to invite whoever this is to discuss this matter like civilised gentlemen. Once he takes the bait and responds to the suggestion that he is not a civilised gentleman, he will contact you and you can actually discuss it, realise his concern, and see if you can reach a compromise.  I have no idea if this would work. If not then you challenge him to a duel.

viktoriia · Answer

Hello, IRS employee on a throwaway here. It is inappropriate to involve tax administration in a personal matter like this. Many people don't know it but there is an agency dedicated to policing abuses of the system called the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA). There are strict rules on when it is acceptable to access an individual's personal information and there are strict rules on threatening behavior. I'm not sure how much they would get involved with the situation as it stands but if the problem persists you might want to research that angle.

Ulrike Ebersbacher · Answer

"If the dude isn't smart enough to harass the correct person, i doubt their "personal friend in the IRS" will be much of a threat. Also, i would imagine that it would be pretty risky for "their friend" to actually fuck with you from inside the IRS when you have physical and documented evidence of them saying that they would do THAT EXACT THING. I'm no lawyer, but that sounds like something that only a retard would try and get away with. "

Gail · Answer

When he mentioned Tijuana in your letter it became about you not your taxi.

Anne-Marie · Answer

Put up a small, but readable sign that clearly states that you are in compliance with the rules, that you don't appreciate the harassment, and that you will continue to follow the rules. You might also state that the only vehicle that belongs to you is the one in your driveway. If you feel like compromising, put a car cover on the vehicle when it's parked for the day/night.

Thorny · Answer

Do they drop the notes with any amount of regularity, e.g. on a certain time and day? If so, for a small fee, I will gladly wait by your yard and fuck them up the next time they come by.
