IF you didn't bother to read the previous comments, and report to the 'local courthouse', the people there will all have a good laugh, as this scam has been going on for a LONG time. People that fall for it ,are commonly referred to as fools.
Got a call at 9:02 am and 10:58 am today. First part of the message is cut off; phone number to call back is repeated clearly twice. Definitely a robo call. There was no clear identification of the caller. A search for the owner of the number shows it is private, which certainly would not be true of a governmental agency. The search on white pages also notes this number as a potential scam.
Left several messages on land line from the "court house" I called back from my cell answered as IRS. I said "realy IRS you left a message saying you were the court house now you are the IRS? He asked if he could ask who was speaking and I said no, and he hung up. I called back and the number was busy.
Left several messages on our land line from the county court house or legal matter and to call back. I called back from my line and answered. Said there was a tax issue, then went into a long message saying all the things they were going to charge me. Gave a name as IRS officer and badge number. Was very hard to understand. Then asked why I asked for a name again. Call from NY
Called 3 times today with robo voice that drops a preposition around "courthouse" part. I did not write down the return call number, so if someone has it, could they please post it. The calling number was 347 983 0706.
