A word of advice from someone who used to work for DOJ Tax Division: IRS typically does not call first. Initial contacts are by letter. If your account is in collection it may have been referred to a Revenue Officer, but even then it is unlikely you'd receive a call.

How fun!! Wish I'd get one of those calls. Work it for all it's worth. Act scared. Say you'll pay anything they want - you'll give them cash. Keep them on the phone (if you have time). Get an address because you want to deliver it in person - parking lot is okay. The IRS will never call you on the phone unless prior contact is established through the mail. If they want to talk to you on the phone, they'll send you a letter asking you to call them. Edit: I see Smithee said the same thing. I'd still like to have fun with it and string them along.
