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).
Got automated call from this number two days ago saying it was from IRS and me or my attorney should call back ASAP if I don't do that he can only pray for the situation that unfolds. I was pretty sure it was scam but still looked up on google and found several people have already reported it to be scam so I didnt think much about it.
Then I got call from the same number again today and asked to speak to me. It was someone with Indian accent and broken English. He started telling me I owe money and I could be arrested in two days and my property could be seized if I dont send them the money. As an Indian myself I said couple of "nice" phrases in Hindi and he hung up.
Got a call today from Jason clark from 202-241-3122. You owe so and so and will send you a letter and your employer. When I asked his badge number he says 12INCHDICK. Hell to these guys. When you call back his number, his voice mails says that he is from IRS. I wonder what law enforcement is doing.
I got a call from this person today as well. Jason Clark, claims to be an IRS agent. He has the message that IRS has a criminal case filed against me and I could be arrested in two days and my property could be seized if I dont send them the money.
I received two calls from the same person claiming that he was Jason Clarke. He claimed he was an IRS agent and that i owed money for tax otherwise i would go to jail and or court.
