On January 15 2015, we received a threatening call from someone identifying him self as Officer Jonathon Knight of the IRS. He left a case number of 06719, but did not say who he was calling for and he did not leave any call back information. We checked our caller ID and saw the number 571-210-5954. The voice on the other end was of an Indian origin. We later received other threatening calls from an Indian woman who threatened of IRS agents coming to arrest someone.
Some Indian guy called me and said he wanted money to fullfill my debt to the IRS of 30,000 ha! My mom does my taxes so no... But anyways he said the police were coming in one hour because I didn't pay them :)
I called back and got him asked for a supervisor and he said there wasn't one. I said the president isn't your supervisor and he said no and hung up on me.
They call me and say that i have to pay 1500 dlls and if I pay that money they will charge me for 50000 dlls more ... I got I little bit scared then I looked for this number in Google search and it is a felony.
There is a widespread IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers on both Canadian and USA residents.
USA tax payers should read this:

Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.
