➡️ What I would really like to know is how or where do these people get our numbers? How do they pick and choose? … I don't understand how they got my home phone number. … ⬅️

Legendary physicist Richard Feynman … was giving a lecture in Seattle once when someone employed the same fallacy [Intelligent Design], albeit in a different context. Feynman responded, "I had the most remarkable experience this evening. While coming in here I saw license plate ANZ 912. Calculate for me, please, the odds that of all the license plates in the state of Washington I should happen to see ANZ 912." Think about it.
I suspect that most of the calls are computer generated. A computer is simply programmed to call a block of numbers and yours came up. In some cases they have specific information about the people they call.
I received the same call from #4165 telling me to call the 240 number. I called the number and got a recording from some woman with a foreign accent. I have not committed any tax fraud and thanks for all of the warnings. Hope these criminals get caught soon and leave us alone.
This phone number is a SCAM. I got a call from a FAKE IRS person
saying I was in danger of going to prison because of tax fraud. I was
told to call this 240 number to "settle the account." So if I were gullible,
I'd call that number and give them my credit card because I was so
afraid. Well I'm not, so I didn't. FAIR WARNING, this is a fake IRS
scam! call came from 630-635-8092 said to call 240-232-2197
