Just having the information that you answered the call is worth something to these scammers. No way they're legit, seeing as how they don't leave messages - a message doesn't make 'em kosher, but the message takes a tad more effort than just ringing till you answer. The IRS scammers really screwed up by leaving automated messages, with a tad of research, and the voicemail timestamp, it was fairly simple to figure out where in India the calls originated. This caller is slick enough o not leave proof, but for giggles, just tell 'em "all calls are recorded" when you answer - they'll instantly hang up and from my experience, seem not as likely to bug you again :)
