Who called from 5046844661

A recording from an Indian accented voice said he was calling on behalf of the Department of Treasury and that I was facing legal action.  The call originated inn Louisiana.  When I returned the call the gentleman gave his name as Adam Jones (?!) with a heavy Indian accent.  When I asked him whom he was representing, he said "Department of Treasury".  When I asked if this was the US Department of Treasury, he hesitated, and when I said that's not located in Loiuisiana, he hung up.

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.
