they have called me twice

Caller claims to be the irs

I get this same exact call on my cell phone daily, claiming to be the IRS and that they have filed a lawsuit against me,  It is a phishing scam. Just block them. If you try to call the number back on your cell phone it gives a choice of calling some 800 number or to dial 611, which is my cell carrier, AT&T. I would really  like to be able to answer the call and give this broken english eastern indian a piece of my mind. DON"T! Call them back on your landl ine, that will give them your name , etc. Just block them off your cell but expect another call through a different number.

It is really distressing that in addressing a dastardly phishing scam, you are also revealing your unfortunate bigotry.  Whether the scammer has an Eastern Indian English accent or Swedish is immaterial.  For the record, I have been getting these same messages on my landline, and the accent is as Eastern Indian as Rush Limbaugh's.

I too get this call. First it used to be every day or two, now it has become less frequent. I think there is nothing to it. I also got several calls from 1 Mark, who asked me for my bank account info so that they can mail me a chek for $25000 dollars direct deposit that I will never have to return, & that it was from the federal govt or something. He said I had the option to take it in the form of prepaid debit card...which, of course, I have never received...Am still waiting...No, I did not give any info about me other than my name & phone number which they already had
