Call said it was from the IRS

Got a call from this number and recorded msg. said I was being sued by IRS. I called the number back and it sounded like someone from India was on the other end. I think it is a scam or prank number.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

This is a SCAM! Do not give them any information just hang up or they will continue to call thinking they have you on the hook. Report it through the Treasury Inspector General for the Tax Administration (TIGTA). Google IRS Scam reporting.
