Called my home this morning & left message on answering machine that the IRS is suing me and that I must call the number within 24 hrs. Next there was this high tone pitch coming from the answering machine speaker. The telephone cable modem light kept blinking like someone was still on the phone. Picked up phone but it would not work there was no dial tone. Tried to power off telephone cable modem that did not work. The whole this high tone pitch sound was going off. Finally I powere off the answering machine & the sound stopped & the phone started working. What a bunch of losers.
