Even if you don’t have delinquent taxes…
What’s up with that?

The IRS will only contact people via registered mail. 100% a scam. You can call them if you get one one of those letters. Not fun.

Yeah dude. Tax relief. Wealth management. Loan offers. Real estate deals. It's all scams but a few weeks ago, mine almost completely stopped. Up until then, I'd get 10 to 15 VMs per day.

For the past 3 weeks they hit me at least 3 times a day and to no avail I would block the number that called only to get another call, but the same message on VM.

Assholes.

My elderly mother gets several of these a day. I think she is worried about it and I preach to her that it is a scam, but I think she still has a shred of concern about it being true.

I have received probably 20 of these calls over the past two weeks. Finally a few days ago I yelled and cursed at them, told them if they call me again I was calling law enforcement. I haven’t received a single call since then.

I don’t get them about taxes. I get them about some additional Social Security benefits and additions to my Medicare plan.

The only problem is I haven’t retired, so I’m not drawing on Social Security, nor am I old enough for Medicare.

But I get at least three or four such calls a day.

BTW, what ever happened to that so-called “national do not call registry” that was supposed to squash these spam calls???

Some a-hole used my phone number to sign up for a timeshare at some point. I can't speak to percentage of spam calls, because I don't answer them, but timeshare calls easily make up 90% of the spam calls I receive that leave voicemails. I hate that fricking guy, whoever he is
