Just received a call from a heavily accented male asking for me by name and saying he wanted to speak about the "lawsuit filed against you by IRS." When I said "Excuse me?" the call was disconnected. There was also another identifying number on the caller id:V3231583600039.
I have my fax answer calls on my land line. I mainly have it for outbound local calls and sending faxes but it makes a great shield for these kinds of calls of which I just received one. I bet they love listening to my fax.
I got "the" call today and I was short and curt so the gal didn't even say anything- hung up on me. Well.... I had some down time- so I messed with them back. I spent about 20 minutes calling them! Several times it said the call wouldn't go through, but on several attempts- they actually answered and put me on hold music. It was sure fun bugging them for a change.
