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.
My taxes are pretty simple, so since it said unknown caller, I thought it was probably a scam, someone also does that saying they are from Windows with an update! Thanks again!
I recieved the same message yesterday...called them today after work to be asked many personal questions like tel...full name etc...and to be told that I was being sued for back taxes...when I know there is Noooo such thing!!! They hung up.....tried calling back again...I believe they recognize your telephone number because this time they started cursing at me...hung up again! My wife called our phone service to research the number...it came up as a SCAM! We got the number blocked on all our lines and were told to go on Google and look up the number...that we were NOT the only people being Scamed!!! SO YES THIS IS A SCAM!!!! Sorry NOT us....My wife is to smart for these things!!! Thank God for her!!!
