There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers in both Canada and the USA.
USA tax payers should read this:
http://www.irs.gov/uac/Tax-Scams-Consumer-Alerts
Note particularly the links at that site, warning of the scam!
A shorter explanation is Scam #11, as shown at

That site also shows how other 800notes visitors have reduced the number of telephone scams and telemarketing calls they receive. (And, a link to Amazon's phone blocker devices and apps is there).
I keep getting calls from this number saying it is the internal revenue service. Please let me know as reports of a scam keeps coming up. Thanks, Joyce Crosby

I have been doing research and im amazed at how many people pay money to these scammers....its so sad!
Thank you for the resources, i will definitely be looking in to it....i was on the phone with him, convinced it was true, but when he mentioned for me to pay at cvs and keep him on the line
It sounded way too strange....then when i accused him of being a scammer...he got very defensive so, i told him i would take it up with the irs directly....and he got angry and said ok and hung up.
