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.
Got back-to-back messages, plus a third a few hours later from this SCAMMER in Ohio. Too bad they won't be hearing from me. The thing I hate is there are vulnerable people who are not computer savvy to be able to look this stuff up that may fall victim to this. If my mom were still alive, I can totally see her panicking at the word "lawsuit" and calling them right away. I wish there was a way to stop these disgusting people.
Called 3 times today. Female robot voice "from the IRS" threatening lawsuit, call back the number. Same number as caller ID. Left 2 messages; third time I answered, but not even a real person, just robo voice again. Not sure how it's a scam, as the number is busy when called, and a robo speaks if you pick up.
