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.
fed up with scammers calling in the middle of the day - stated would go to jail for federal offense - government doesn't work that way people...don't give them any info
Received 2 voice mails from this #. Both claimed to be from the U.S. Treasury Dept. The second call threatened that ignoring the call would be seen as refusing to stand before a U.S.Magistrate. The caller had a very heavy accent and was hard to understand. Fraud.
