I got a scammer letter claiming I set up payments for my husband to pay them. they were dumb though. they put my maiden name on the letter and not my married name. what you do if you had one is you email the white house contact the president. I copied and pasted the letter they sent. they forwarded to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. on a call its harder. the AG is investigating the IRS. did you know after forwarding my letter they wrote all the sudden they quit coming.

Haven't received and nor any calls from anyone claiming to be from the IRS, I don't answer calls from anyone I don't know.

I hung up as well but not before asking him how does he sleep nights scamming people out of their hard earned money.

My husband gets calls from the IRS all the time.  He is dumb enough to answer calls that he doesn't recognize the phone number.  I don't answer any calls that I don't know the number calling.
Have a wonderful day!

We got one call that we answered supposedly from the IRS, informing us that we were at risk for be arrested for tax fraud.   We laughed and hung up.

We were getting the same calls.  Finally I bought myself a whistle.   After I listen and am sure it's a scam I get my whistle and blow as hard as I can into the receiver.

Yep they have been coming to take me to jail many many times.  But will settle for a couple thousand in Walmart or iTunes gift cards. haha.  How can people be stupid enough to fall for that....

Yes, I've gotten them, and they are horribly annoying! I wish that someone in our government could stop these calls, but it would be awfully hard to do seeing as they're coming from other countries! ::)

They claim they can't because the calls come from over seas.  Funny cause if I called these other countries and scammed their people I guarantee their gov't could come after me.

And they can find where the calls are coming from.  They don't care.
