This seems like a terrible scam in terms of practicality - not likely to cause people to willingly give up their money (most peoples' reaction to being sent a tax bill is to bristle and wonder why they owe anything); really easy to figure out that they're lying; and clearly criminal to a greater degree than most frauds in that these people are impersonating a government agency who will have a vested interested in putting the screws to them. There's additional motivation for law enforcement to deal with something like this.

Its interesting, but there are definitely people who have a lot of anxiety regarding taxes and official documents. They'd rather pay for it to go away than deal with it rationally.
Its not uncommon.
