Got the same call yesterday. IRS never call anybody on the phone, they send a written notice.
I reported this to TIGTA- Federal Treasury Inspector General agency at www.tigta.gov
Received a voice message saying it was about an IRS issue and to call immediately to avoid IRS action. We don't owe the IRS money so I'm guessing it's a scam.

I get numerous calls from this boiler room outfit. I always let it go to the answering machine. He never stipulates who exactly he is calling for in this household. Goes on to present some veiled threat about some fictitious heavy lawsuit or something as such. Scam right from the get go. Hope no one plays the fool and suckers into this garbage. Feel free to tell this guy where to go!!! He is as phony as a 3 dollar bill!!!! :)
