Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 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.
Virtually the same experience as with the above posts. Caller left message the first time on answering machine and has called again twice in two days. These times, however, caller did not leave messages.
EVERYONE should be aware that the IRS, SS, etc. NEVER call but ALWAYS and EXCLUSIVELY use hard-copy, official stationery and postal service to conduct business.
Received a call at 7:00 am from the "Internal Revenue Services" tax audit department. I told them I wasn't home, can I have his name and number to call back. He left the name William Reece at 201-839-0574 and to give claim # 89681 when calling back. He had a think either Indian or English accent and there was a lot of static on the line. Knew right away he was full of crap.
Got a call from this phone number. Called back and the person hung up on me when I asked why they were calling my cell phone. He was very rude and hung up on me twice, not willing to answer my questions. Obviously a scam and they knew I was on to them.
