The IRS will never call you, they will never send you an email. If you receive a call from someone saying they're with the government or the IRS and demanding money, HANG UP! The IRS only sends collection or official correspondence via US Mail.

Phishing:

Phishing is the digital cousin of phone scams. Perpetrators use e-mails, text messages, websites and social media to bait taxpayers into providing their personal information or clicking a compromised link that can then be used to install malware onto a computer or other device. Beware of suspicious looking emails with lookalike addresses or subscripts.
