Can a scammer that has my address get me in trouble with the IRS?
Post Body

I was scammed out of $48 by someone here on Reddit, donโ€™t really want to go into transaction specifics but I did pay with PayPal goods and services. After I found out it was a scam and the scammer actually confirmed it and taunted me I disputed the transaction with PayPal. 2 weeks later I get an email saying they are refunding me.

Like the immature 30 year old I am I decided to screenshot the bit of the email saying that I got the refund and send it to this asshat. He then hits me with the fact that he has my address. Heโ€™s claiming that he is now going to send the irs some sort of falsified unpaid tax letters? I have no idea what he is talking about but should I be worried that he will be able to pull anything else having my address?
