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.
Left a message from "Officer Judy Smith" pf the US Treasury saying that I had a case filed against me in federal court regarding taxes, and that i was in danger of being arrested if I did not call them immediately. Synthesized voice. I did not call them back so I don't know what they would have asked for.
Well, they would tell you that they are th IRS and all sorts of things will now happen to you because of some error on your taxes. However, they'll also say they can make the whole thingo away if you just wire them some money by an untraceable means. Absolute scam. See my notes.
They left an official sounding message this morning from this phone number saying they were from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The guy who answered has a heavy accent and said the IRS was trying to reach me because of tax fraud. He gave me a made-up case ID number and arrest warrant number and said the Sheriff would be at my house within 45 minutes to arrest me and I would be in jail for months, if not years. I asked him what the purpose of his call was, and he said just to inform me of the legal case against me. (Other callers said he asked them to go to the local grocery and get gift cards to pay this off debt.) Don't fall for this. I called and reported the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484. This guy is a scumbag with apparently time on his hands to hassle people.
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.
