A friend of mine once received a letter from the IRS demanding several thousand dollars in unpaid taxes on interest earned from a bank account of some type.
He told them that if they provided him with the account info that earned that much interest that it owed thousands of dollars in taxes, he would happily pay including penalties.
Turns out it was an off by one error in a SSN
