I received the same telephone call yesterday as well as this morning from 415-234-9628 claiming to be from the IRS. I called them back yesterday to hear the pitch. I owed $6K in back taxes, I would be arrested, my passport and California Drivers License would be seized. I spoke with a male with a South Asian accent. I told him that he was perpetrating fraud I would report it. I did send in an account of yesterday's incident as well as the call I received this morning purporting to be from the IRS. The email address to report this phishing fraud is:

There should be a way for the U.S. government to shut this down. An immigrant or elderly person could easily be hurt by this.
