Obviously it helped this matter, and it didn't or will it ever make things worse. No the numbers are not spoofed as a ROT you probably don't even understand that kind of system. Thank goodness I didn't call an innocent person huh, you need to quit living in the maybe world not one of those things you posted are going to help stop any of this., and NO they DO NOT USE GOVERNMENT PHONE NUMBERS to make these scam calls. You can look up all the sites on the internet and still not get anything done regardless of how many complaints are filled. Everything you Just said in the first part of your pedantic statement is a LIE, and there is no legal action that can be taken.
I also got a call, within 20 minutes of electronically filing my tax return with Turbotax. It was an automated guy with a thick accent, that at first sounded like a live guy. Because I have voice mail, the beginning of his message was cut off. He said something about "legal petition notice regarding tax fraud" and went on to say "if I don't hear from you or your attorney either, then all I can do is wish you luck as this situation unfolds on you."
"This is an automated system generated message from IRS and you're subjected to receive this message. Even if your number reason-asleep(?). We're a national do not call list. Our attempt to notify you why certified mail had returned undelivered resulting in to a lawsuit to be prosecuted against your name without the need of trial on account-council(?) fraudulent for no tax filing to know your tax outstanding contact our audit department on 703-459-9372. I repeat it's 703-459-9372 before any legal actions are taken to forcefully recover the amount unpaid. Thank you."
