do not talk to them...its a scam...and talking or being polite does not do any good excepts encourages them to call back..ignoring is the best option. I have dealt with this situation also with overseas calls routing through the computers to appear to be coming from the states..I contacted FBI FTC BBB the Canadian form of the FBI because they are trying to come through there as well. It is not to be taken lightly, so contact the FTC especially. They may even call your workforce posing as lawyers..most can not speak proper English..have thick Indian or foreign accents or started using comp bot voices..embarrassing at first..but invades our personal privacy. Do not speak at all to them..do not verify your number, address, name..accounts..social security numbers..not anything. They sometimes have a small piece and try to put it together by what you offer them. Eventually the calls lessen..and for awhile are gone all together. But they creep back up when you least expect it. When people are to receive their tax returns is when it seems to heighten because they believe you will pay to just make it go away. Trust me..don't do it. They will come back for more the passed stories have said. They will start out small and work their way up. New day and age...new con...sad ..but true. Have patience and just keep reporting the numbers. Only thing we can do. Pretty soon it will be just an easy routine that you will do without thinking. But it wont get done unless we report it. Your local police department will not be enough for this. You can report to them as well if you like but the FTC has more access in that area.
