i got the same call and i'm afraid people DO think it's for real and call back. if what they are doing wasn't working, they wouldn't be in business and that's just heartbreaking and infuriating. they mostlt prey on older people. my father and stepmother get these kinds of calls all the time, some of them are the other kind of call, where they tell you that there's all kinds of money available, if you help them out by sending them money to ay various "fees". then they'll share the riches with you. my dad has a blast with sometimes, but my stepmom is another story. i know for a fact, that if it wasn't for me and my dad, constantly telling her it's a scam, she would definitely send them money! the IRS one i don't think she'd fall for so much, but she's been talked into buying all sorts of things over the years and she has a shopping addiction. these are the kinds of people the scam artists rely on and that's why they cam keep doing what they do-dumb gullible people. i usually don't answer the phone if i don't recognize the number, but the times i have been caught by these soul sucking jerks, i say horrible things to them-it can be quite satisfying! LOL i.m like you though, i DO NOT understand how people believe this crap and get sucked in. i never will.
