He called and his name was William Austin. A scam. The IRS website talks about such scams and what to do about it. Go to: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Warns-of-Pervasive-Telephone-Scam, or simply go to irs.gov and click on the link at the left called "IRS warns of telephone scams". This link tells you how to report such scams, such as 1) calling Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484, or 2) contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.
The notion behind this scam is to target especially people with a foreign sounding name, threaten deportation, and then try to get them to pay the scammer with a debit card in a panic. In our case, they were looking for my friend Jia (Chinese name), and said the IRS had a lawsuit against her and if she is being represented. However, Jia is clean with the IRS, and has not received any notifications by mail, so the lawsuit allegation did not make sense.

This # is scam / fraud they just want to give you a unnecessary heart attack and scare you in to giving them your debit card # so that they can charge you large amount of money for something you didn't even do! They are posing to be from the IRS but they aren't. IRS will only contact you from official traditional communication via postal mail. And if ever in doubt, you can always call the IRS directly. Don't fall for this scam call, there are some that have been unfortunate victim of this inhumane scam. Take caution, report this # directly to the IRS at 1-800-366-4484, and advise friends and family to not take these calls seriously.
