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

The call back number he left was 562-398-3829. Much of his message was unclear. He said this was a verbal notification regarding some action which happened against my name. He said something to suggest I would need an Attorney. I did not return his call and have no plans to speak with him.

You can call back the number, but it doesn't make it legit.
If you receive a call like this report it to:

- cjI got a call from 562-398-3829. They said they were from the dept. of legal affairs us treasury and the mans name was adam walker. I then spoke to Rose Gilbert about this matter. They told me I was a criminal and going to jail, then hung up on me. I googled the number and found it to be a definite scam. Then I called back and played around with them. i told them I wanted to make a payment, pretended to be somebody else and in general just wasted their time and frustrated them. The more time I have them on the phone dealing with me, the less time they have to scam somebody else.
** Please people, if you get a call from these people, turn the tables on them. Call them back and lead them on, convince them that you are going to pay. keep dangling a carrot in front of their noses, then laugh at them and tell them to eff off!!- Caller: dept of legal affairs
