Do consider 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.
My husband got a call from 267-447-5022, stating they were the IRS. This is a land line in Flourville, PA. The person stated we were being sued by the IRS for back taxes and we needed to call 253-336-5321 immediately. We knew this was a scam because we do not owe back taxes and we knew the IRS does not call unless they have sent several letters. My mother was a CPA. I am getting the police whistle out. The next time they call, they will wish they did not.
I just got the same call this morning. It sounded like a scam from the start. They obviously didn't even know who they were calling, or they would have said my name to confirm. Someone should call and scam them back!
Well I just received my first one, I know I don't owe the IRS. anyways, I too was told that the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me and to call this 253-336-5321 number, well I checked my caller I.D. on my phone and it said no name found and gave a number of 1-264-417-5622 well area code 264 is Anguilla, which is a British overseas territory in the Caribbean. anyways it's deleted as all the other ones are. I just hate paying a phone bill every month to have to deal with this. I think the att could do a better job at protecting it's paying customers.
