Caller ID identified this caller only as "New York". I didn't answer. An automated message was left stating "This is IRS" (not "This is the IRS" - bad English). It told me they were filing a law suit against me, and to call them immediately at 202-738-1919. It was also weird because of the way they said the number to call. They said "202738.1919" (202738 point 1919), like they were unfamiliar with American phone numbers.
Got a call today from a guy with a thick accent. He gave the usual speach about being from a Microsoft approved computer support company and that my computer was having problems. He asked if I did have a Microsoft computer. I told him that I had a Mac. He started to mubble something and I said "I know this is a scam, a*****e." He then hung up. About 30 seconds later he called back twice on 647-288-1790 and sounded angry. He asked me to repeat what I last said. I said I knew it was a scam, then he said "say again!" I repeated it then he hung up. Good times.

Got a call from area code 718; I don't know anyone in New York State and I am in Canada. No message was left but when I called this number, a recording indicated that this number was not in service. Sure would like to know how these phone/ pc hackers are able to access and use number that "are not in service"!!!
