Who called from 3018281812

DO NOT GIVE ANY CALLER FROM THIS NUMBER PERSONAL INFORMATION.  IRS SCAMMERS!!!!
JUST HANG UP!  Someone call my client from this number and told her that all of her tax returns were filed
wrong, she told them she would have me call them.

I just got a call from these idiots. The IRS does not make calls like this so just hang up and report it.

Scam. Their robo-caller is so unsophisticated that it started its b***s*** shpiel while my answering machine was still giving out the greeting.

Indicated I had commited tax fraud and wanted my home.

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

Canadian tax payers should read this:

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