Does the IRS Call People They are Going to Audit?

I had a message on my phone and so I called the 1-800 number on my voicemail, it answered the IRS. Evidently the IRS called me. Could it be that the IRS wants to audit me? Should I get a hold of a tax attorney? I think it is for real. I file my taxes every year, but sometimes I file late. I also heard of a lot of scams out there and some companies actually pretend to be the IRS. So, I cannot be sure if it was a hoax or the real IRS wanting to do something like get more information from me or possibly audit my tax returns. Can someone clarify? Thanks.

    If you have a unpaid tax bill and haven’t paid it, IRS may try to call you before taking enforced collection action.
