Excellent. I did the same thing only I told him to get me someone on the line who could speak english that I'd be able to understand. He really was quite inarticulate but was definitely India Indian.
Recording says that you a substantial amount to the IRS and charges will be filed. Scam! IRS will not call. Do not give any information. This was a cell phone that came from safelink program. Tried calling number back, no answer.
Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•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 getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
Read and understand Taminath's notes. NEVER RETURN THE CALLS. If you return the calls the scammers think you are vulnerable in some sense and may hammer you with even more calls.
do not reply or call back. The IRS sends certified mail when conducting official business regarding any potential lawsuit, etc. states that the caller is the IRS and their agency plans to file a lawsuit, call the number, etc. etc.
