Just had a message from Alan Smith (with and accent) 703-828-0429, IRS badge #7997025 saying it's an urgent message for tax evasion and willful fraud. Caller ID shows Virginia.

You receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS but you suspect they are not an IRS employee ...
Record the employee's name, badge number, call back number and caller ID if available.
Call 1-800-366-4484 to determine if the caller is an IRS employee with a legitimate need to contact you.
If the person calling you is an IRS employee, call them back.
If not, report the incident to TIGTA and to us at phishing@irs.gov (Subject: 'IRS Phone Scam')
The number he's using today is 703-828-0429 - comes up as "VIRGINIA".
Same as above. He called and said we owed 4,900 dollars. His Name was Allan Smith saying he was from the IRS and that his badge number was 799-7025. A warrant for my arrest blah blah. he was pretty convincing.
Mr. Smith is now Jonathan Knight - or he "loaned" his number to Mr. Knight.
The IRS has conducted an audit of my returns. Apparently I am hiding assets from the Fed Gov and this must be rectified immediately.
Maybe I should call him back to have he tell me what those assets are and where I can pick them up! LOL
NO WAY WOULD I EVER RETURN THIS CALL!
Very gruff, scary voice - but heavy foreign accent. sigh. I can see where he would be able to scare some folks.
Everthing said about Mr. Alan Smith is correct, with the exception that he is using a new phone number: 804-554-3038.
