I just got a recorded message saying that they have been trying to contact me. The message said that they were the IRS and were going to take some action against me unless I called some number that I did not write down, sorry. I know this is fake because the IRS does not call you, they send a letter.
I guess I have to list this as a "prank" as the call type since there is no scam listing.
left message that IRS is after me...if it is illegal to call do not call list numbers why are these scammers allowed to continue----are they fined, put out of business, what? And if not, why do we have a do not call list!!!!

The DNC list applies only to legitimate, participating telemarketers. The calls are coming from hardcore criminals operating out of overseas boiler rooms using computers to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement. Do not call them back or attempt to engage them in a coherent conversation, as all they are interested in extorting money for nonexistent debts. And, if you pay them, not only will you never see your money again--but they will more than likely attempt to extort even more money from you. A local woman who paid them 5K is now receiving death threats if she does not pay them another 1K. If they call again, just hang up and block the number (if you have that capability) and report them to the REAL IRS online or (855) 411-CFPB (2372).
