Got the call from the "automaton". Here is how you know it's a scam:
1. They say they'll call the "local cops". A representative of the IRS would never say anything like that.
2. The IRS will not call you with an automated message
3. The IRS will almost always communicate via the US Mail.
Did not answer but they left a message via a recording (using very poor English). Something about serious allegations against me and that I would be taken into local custody if I did not call to discuss this with them. This is of course silly since I am a very law abiding citizen. I deleted the message and blocked the number.
