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.
Let the machine pick it up. A woman with a strong accent left a message. She claimed to be from the IRS and said criminal charges were about to be filed against me for tax evasion and tax fraud. Insisted that I called back right away to avoid arrest. Obviously a scam.
I had the exact experience like the response before me. My elderly mother got the call and now she is freaked out even though its a SCAM! You cannot tell an older person its a SCAM because they will still think that they need to do something. I hope some day this will be met with criminal charges brought against perpetrators who maliciously try to scam American citizens.

I'm so tired of this women calling my house. How stupid do they think I am? You can't be in trouble with the IRS if you haven't done anything wrong! How do I get them to stop calling?
