Report the Calls to the real IRS here:

•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.

******
Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.

This is a Pakistan or India based IRS scam. Do not fall for it. The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone.

As general background information, here are a few things you can do:
1) Report it to TIGTA under http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml especially if you have become a victim (lost money, gave personal information etc.). You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint (include “IRS Telephone Scam" in your complaint). This way you can also help the government establish specific fraud patterns.

2) Help kill their phone lines. The scammers use Voice over IP lines (e.g. magicJack (Ymax corporation)) to make it seem as if they are calling from the US. This is always against these companys' terms of service and can lead to immediate termination of their contract and blocking of their IP addresses for future attempts to register. Do a reverse look up of their telephone number (e.g. www.whitepages.com) to identify the Voice over IP provider and report it to the company and/or law enforcement (local police and/or state attorney general)

3) If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction and provide US law enforcement agencies with the political backing and the resources they need to work in India and Pakistan together with local authorities (it can happen, read: http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ex-call-cen ... mmission-320427). A US task force has already been set up in Jamaica to nab scammers there (see http://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/library/reports/cornerstone/cornerstone7-1.pdf). You can use the following template for your letter (more powerful!) or email:

These Bozo's called me on my mobile phone while traveling. The guy said his name was "Brian Watson" (definitely not fitting of the Indian accent) and that the IRS was getting ready to file a lawsuit against me to which I replied that they must have the wrong person. He said I could call a "Roy Miller" who was the "Sr. Officer for Legal Affairs" to discuss. When I called him out as a scammer, he threatened to move forward with the lawsuit. LMFAO!! Followed RexIRS's advise and filed scam report with TIGTA. Thanks!

On January 13, 2015, I received a voicemail on my business number from a caller who said he was calling from the “Department of US Treasury.”  The caller had a strong accent (possibly Indian), said his name was “Gary W________” (could not understand last name), and that he was calling about an enforcement action that had been filed against me.  He told me to call 202-241-8342 (caller ID showed 202-241-8335).  He suggested I get an attorney to call on my behalf and said “delaying might turn into a legal mess for you.” I did not return the call.

I reported the scam to [email protected], TIGTA, and [email protected].  Thanks to RexIRS for the tips on reporting.  In an excess of caution, I did not click on Rex's links and instead found the IRS e-mail address and TIGTA webpage by searching "IRS Phone Scam" and going to this page: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Warns-of-Pervasive-Telephone-Scam (do a web search for the TIGTA link if you do not want to click on my link).
