You're right. I tried hanging up the phone and when I went to make a call, he was still talking the same message over and over again. I finally hung up and waited a few minutes and then was able to call him back. Total scam and he ended up getting frustrated with me (I like to mess with scammers if I'm bored) until he hung up on me - after using same profanity.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
This "David Gray" has been calling daily with threats that the Treasury Department was going to get me for some IRS violation. He goes on to warn that mayhem will befall me if I "ignore" his call. I have ignored his call everytime.
David Gray calls several times a week and leaves a message that we must contact him about a Treasury Dept. action and if we don't call he will have to report us. He says he wants to help us. Why can't someone stop these people from trying to scam innocent people??
Just got a call . . . I think this is the second call in two days. I know it is a hoax/scam. "David Gray" says it is something about an income issue and I'll be reported to a 'magistrate' and that he wants to help. I am adding the number to my 'blocked calls' on my answering machine/phone which works pretty well.
