Same exact experience. I'm not even calling back. Any serious call from the IRS about federal charges would have a person talking and would give a case #.
Called told me about federal chargers. Appears to be scam as it requires "Immediate" call back. The voicemail it left me was a computer generated voice as well.
Same experience as earlier callers -- message saying federal charges were being levelled against me and to call to clear up the matter. However, I called back from a dummy number. After about 20 rings, a voice with an Indian accent answered saying "Thank you for calling the IRS. This is John Matthew. Can I help you?" He went into his script about how I owe back taxes. So I asked him to tell me the social security number on the file. He kept saying, "Sorry, can you repeat that?" I don't think he spoke much English. Eventually, he hung up after about the third time I asked him for the SS# on the file. Obviously, a scammer -- but a good target for one of those self-styled humorists who like to record such interactions and put them on YouTube.

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS... IRS do not call you. I repeat, IRS DO NOT CALL YOU. Reasonable people understand it's a scam, but, unfortunately, a lot of gullible people out there give our their life-savings. Once, again. If it's an IRS issue, they will mail you the package. They would NEVER CALL YOU. As a matter of fact, any time you receive a "collections" call of any kind, ask them to mail you the required paperwork and only then you would be willing to make a payment. A real collection company will always do that. Hope someone finds this information helpful.
