I've noticed this, too. My elderly neighbor was scammed out of $ a few years ago. Her daughter got involved & shut down her acct that was accessed. The guy actually had the gall to call back & try to ridicule her into giving out the new info.  |

That same IRS scam happened to a lady that works for my husband. She is an older lady and she called my husband (she lives alone) in a panic. He got her calmed down and told her it was a scam.
Stupid people.

I don't even answer my home phone anymore. They all seem to be scams. And if I get one more voice mail that says "this is the very last time we are going to call before we take action", I'm going to scream. I googled that number and verified it was a scam. But I admit the first time I heard it, I started to worry that maybe there was an unpaid bill that I wasn't aware of.

My boss got a IRS collections call. Except we are in Canada where we don't have the IRS. And in his former career, my boss was a tax lawyer. He laughed in the guy's ear and hung up. The scammer had the gall to call back and said if my boss hung up on him again, they would add $50 to his "bill."  |
