I received the same kind of call from somebody who may have said that her name was Mary Smith, claimed she worked for the IRS, and that this call pertained to a specific case number. After she was through reading her spiel, assuming that the call was not a robo-call, I yelled back into the phone telling the caller that she was an idiot, that the IRS does not make personal phone calls, especially on Saturday, and that I would report her call as an FTC violation, which I did on the FTC's electronic from for Do Not Call List violations. I also called back the number and received a recording for "Magic Jack" telling me that the number I called was not assigned and that I could obtain that particular phone number. I then tried to do a star 75 trace of the previous call, and my Comcast trace function went dead. Also, I could not repeat a star 69 of the same number. I then called my home phone number back using another phone line, it rang, but star 69 no longer worked until numerous minutes later. I do not know how this entity was able to fornicate up star 69 and star 57 trace with my home phone line, but it did. I tried to immediately call Comcast to try to report a malfunction of my Comcast phone line, but I could not succeed in calling back Comcast immediately after the call came in. I do not know how this perpetuator of such a hoax was able to interfere with the normal functioning of my telephone for several minutes. Some minutes later I was able to perform a star 69 and obtain the caller ID for the number I used to call back my own phone number to check out my telephone.. I do not know how this scammer was able to interfere with the normal functioning of my telephone line for several minutes after placing the call. I do not know what kind of idiot is placing such calls and has the ability also to fornicate up a private phone line..
