I’m an Enrolled Agent Tax Preparer and I get those calls. I’m told (answering machine) that their police are coming for me unless I pay. There needs to be a level added to Dante’s Hell for these scum!

Just a reminder that modern tech is a two-edged blade. When I was in college in the 70s, Long Distance calls were expensive but very few scammers! Isn’t the future wonderful?

I get them a couple of times a week. I know hat it is pretty much within a couple of seconds and just put the phone(land line) face down on the table and let the scammer talk to the table top Sometimes it can be several minutes before the buzz buzz tells me the other end has hung up.

Doesn’t your phone have caller ID? If you don’t recognize
the number, don’t answer.

*************

That’s the way to go. If it’s important they will leave a message.

I answered once in Duits but mostly I just put the phone down on the table top.

My wife just finished washing and waxing her car. Should I post a thread about it?

I get several a week. I tell them I’ve been working with “Bob” and I will only talk to “Bob”. They jump all over themselves trying to explain why Bob can’t come to the phone.

Just so everyone knows - the IRS never makes initial contact by phone or email. It’s always by snail mail.

And if you are married, both parties get the letter.

I’ve gotten a few of those.

Why do all the IRS agents sound Pakistani?

I don’t think so. I think a lot sound like they are from Bangladesh.

I just enabled Apple’s “Silence Unknown Contacts” yesterday. Hope they come out with a text message version soon, too.
