got phone scam this morning

A call came through saying they were the IRS, so I paid attention. It started out with an arrest and how I cheated the IRS 4900 bucks between 2008-2012 and that I will be arrested and held for 48 hours by the Sheriff within 45 minutes and DO NOT RUN AWAY OR GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY. I am supposed to have been served but now need to show up in court but I need to give them my tax lawyer's phone number and contact address. After that, I am suppose to go to a government store and get an electronic voucher and pay it through the electronic federal tax payment system. I ask him WTF is a government store? We don't have them here in this country. He got upset and threaten to have the Sheriff there sooner. I asked for his name and number. It was Kevin Shaw, but with a slight Indian accent. He was trying so hard to sound American but when he got upset the accent was really pronounce. He wanted my cell phone number so he can talked me through it at the bank and the government store. I called that number back, and I got I R Less. I just couldn't hold my laughter back.

Do these guys randomly call from the phone book? They know my home address and my name. Should I worry about my info floating out there?
