This is very strange that no address of IRS on the cover page. Asking Bank name, account number and copy of passport. Does IRS ask these? I don't think so.

This is the fax number of so-called "Department of the Treasury" of IRS.

Got the same fax. US folks in Japan should maybe alert the Embassy as it looks like a sure fraud scheme.

Got the same fax here too! Does look awfully strange. The form is different from the W-8BEN forms I've filled out in the past. And we've never been asked by IRS directly to complete a W-8BEN form...
