Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 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 2 calls so far today from automated voice Julie Smith, claiming to be from the IRS, threatening to take action if call not returned. Suspected scam so goggle helped ID this.
Do what I have been doing with these guys, I've been calling them 40/50 times a day having fun with them now they hang up on me The minute they hear my voice they are located in India, One of them spilled the beans he said they make around $2000 a day from poor panicking individuals, (just to let you know the IRS communicate only Through the US mail they do not call you for money.)

Definitely NOT a good suggestion!
If the call was from a scammer, calling back merely did one or more of the following:
* Verified your phone number, and that it would be answered by a human.
* Possibly incurred international calling charges (some scammers are located in Jamaica [876] and other overseas locations)
* Bothered somebody not associated with the scam - scammers can spoof what you see on the Caller ID!
* If the call was from a telemarketer, your call to them could be interpreted as starting a "business relationship", so the telemarketer could legally continue to call you!
* Added your phone number to a list that is sold or shared among scammers of various types, so even more would try to call you.
* And, if you argued with the caller, or otherwise irritated them, they might decide to spoof YOUR number in future calls, so YOU would get irate callbacks from other people. <<<<<<<<<<<
Instead of calling back, either ignore the call or get a call blocker to prevent further calls from that number! (Remember, the DNC list can stop or limit calls from legitimate telemarketers ... but not from telescum).
