Received message on answering machine on 11/24/15 around 1:45pm from a robot claiming to be Judy Smith from the IRS. Basically saying that a legal petition for a tax filed against me and that if I don't call back I could be arrested.  Saw people complaining about a similar number but I guess the scammers have several. This is the third or fourth time I've gotten this scam over the course of months, each time they call with a new number. Will someone please make it stop? It's very predatory and around the holiday season, makes it even worse.

I got the same type of call and was left on my answering machine on 11-24-15. And decided to look on line if anyone had the same thing and my co-worker had the same thing happen to her like 6 or 8 months ago. The number I got was 323-522-4789 and claiming that they were from the U.S. treasury dept. for Judy Smith. I hope they get caught. Thanks for your help

Same calls as above.....recording....."someone' has filed a  tax fraud against me.....arrested......to my business line at that.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
