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.

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

I've been hearing about this on the news lately so when I called the number back from my work line (they left a message from "Nikki Johnson" and to call back and not to ignore the call) they asked for my phone number. A supposed Shane Watson answered and had a heavy Indian accent.  I gave him our home land line to which he said was a bad number so then I gave him my mobile number and he had my name.
I asked to have whatever it is they want sent to me via snail mail and he had my old address on file in a different county.  That kind of alarms me, however my taxes this year and last year were done from my new address.  "Shane" then asked for the last 4 digits of my SSN to make sure I was a human or a person.  I didn't give it to him but he asked why I was being so hostile.  I said I was returning a call from Nikki and he said he was her supervisor and she was not authorized to handle this issue.
I didn't trust him so I kept saying I just want to see what this is about.  He then asked if I had a lawyer, so I said I could get one.  Then I told him I'm going to call my tax accountant and he hung up on me.
