Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 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.
So I called the number back using google hangouts multiple times. Everytime the person answered with the different response. First it was the Smith's residence, then it was the IRS, then it was something else. I did not answer back and the person went into cussing me out for not answering .... It was nice to give them a taste of their own medicine.
This phone call came to me at work and the threats of immediate arrest , imprisonment and financial ruin- there was a warrant out for my arrest and the sheriff had been dispatched the arrest me - handcuff and shackle me immediately and I "better have a good criminal atty because I would probably not be seeing the light of day again with all the mounting charges against me for tax evasion and deception and if I hung up to call my tax service - all of my bank accounts, home,car and any other assets would be frozen , seized and confiscated immediately - I would not be allowed to speak or see anyone not even my husband ever again- you will be lucky to see the light of day EVER in your remaining pitiful life- you miserable thief "-- FREAKED OUT- does not even begin to cover it!!- I finally got my wits about me and simply asked -- Since you know everything about me -- What is my Social Security Number - I told that is their priviledged information that I was not ALLOWED to know this .... When I pressed the issue -- the man that had been verbally abusing me hung up-- GOOD RIDDANCE-- Crazy terrible people-- playing with peoples heads is horrible and not right -
