When I returned home this noon, from walking my dog, I found this message on my home answering machine:
"I'm calling in regards to the I.R.S. lawsuit against you. Reply withing 24 hours to tel# XXX-XXX-XXX".
Methinks it was a scammer, since AFAIK the IRS NEVER telephones, instead sending a registered letter to the taxpayer in question.
I forwarded the message to my state's Attorney General.
I've heard of other older folks receiving about the same thing, but because they picked up the call, the callers attempted (sometimes successfully) to panic their victims into paying whatever - I also heard (but IDK how true it is) that one very older person caved-in to the threat & sent $5K.
I guess I B waitin' on an arrest warrant...
