Who called from 3013580339

The gentleman I talked to said that I didn't file from 2008-2013. That I would be getting my paperwork served to me by the sheriff's office. I told him to do what he had to do and we hung up. Had me worried, I keep hearing about these scams so I Googled the #.

There is a widespread IRS (or CRA) or "tax scam" being  practiced by scammers on both USA and Canadian residents.

USA tax payers should read this:

Canadian tax payers should read this:

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