I didn't answer but the message threatened me with a grand jury, jail and all kinds of nonsense. If I didn't call back I was admitting guilt. Obviously they never heard of innocent until proven guilty.

This is an overseas scam that has been reported in the news. I am convinced that somebody could tell them their name is Santa Claus and they will say you owe backed taxes.

You are right. I don't doubt Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy would also owe back taxes. Today they called back and I let it go to voicemail. When I checked it, all I heard was a woman's voice saying good-bye.

Both my mother who is a senior and childhood friend have have received these calls. What worries me is the fact there are people vulnerable enough to fall for this.
