creeped out
Just like the previous comment, they called in the morning and claimed to be the IRS.  Also said to call back urgently to avoid the IRS taking legal action.

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:
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/nwsrm/lrts/2013/l131210-eng.html

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

Educational post:
This scam is also described as scam #11, here:

tried for scammers
I don't understand how they get any money, They leave a stupid recorded message just to stress you out and raise your BP.  I have not tried calling yet but I am sure they are impossible to reach.  I have at similar scammers call about credit debt that is not real, and a extended warranty on my car.  They all have the same style.  I must be on the gullible list.
