I've gotten this call, my dad, my cousins, my wife's family, and my friends throughout the US. Just wanted to let you all know. I do work for the IRS (but in IT in DC) and just wanted to let you all know that the IRS will never call you directly they will always send you a certified piece of mail requesting for you to call/see them first.
If this guy calls again, you are entitled to ask for the person's badge number (employee ID - its long #s only), their POD (Place of Duty - address where he works), and their Office Phone Number. And you can report it to the following IRS Website: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Warns-of-Pervasive-Telephone-Scam
