Just got the same call last night (at 5:50pm) - robot-sounding voice - saying that the IRS is suing me and that there is a "non-bailable arrest warrant" out for me. Did not bother to call back, because the IRS will not try to arrest you without visiting in-person first.
Total scam.
The IRS knows about this problem. In fact, they are publishing warnings about it!
USA tax payers should read this:

Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.

Claiming that the elderly lady he called owed money to iRS. When I went on the phone, he got irate and angry and when I asked him that we need more information, he hung up.
A recorded computer like woman's voice left a message on my voice mail that the IRS was suing me and to call 206-201-2282. I called and the guy had a heavy Indian accent claiming he was an IRS officer, such a scam.
