On Dec. 2, caller left 2 automated messages, both identical. The message was "To inform you that you are being sued by the IRS and to call back," which totally freaked out my 90 year old grandmother whose phone they called. She blamed me for doing something wrong with her taxes! This morning our local newspaper ran a story about this scam so at least I can show her a "real" paper with the info. Caller ID was the same number (from TX) that was in the message to call back.
Have received this call several times in the past few months - it seems they are targeting certain areas - not sure where they get their list but why can't anything be done to shut this down?
