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.
Received a call on Fri Nov 13 claiming to be the IRS collection agency for taxes. I knew I didn't owe any taxes and that the IRS never calls you on the phone. So I knew right away it was a scam .They asked for my SS# and I told them I would not give it to them they hung up
The caller left a message saying that the IRS was bringing a law suit against us. I called back, suspicious to begin with, and the person answering said his name was Jack. He was speaking from a cell phone, not a proper desk phone, because the reception was not good. I asked him why he left a message on my home answering machine, and he said that he was from the IRS etc. I said no you are not, your are a scam, and you should be ashamed of yourself. At this point, he hung up. It was definitely fraud, but very amateurish.
There should be the option for inputting "Fraud" or "Scam" in the Call Type bar. I put "Prank, but that does not adequately express the nature of the call.
