haha,,, yes,, IRS has called me 10 times in last month,,, said they were coming to get me,,,   First time set a trap in the yard.    had to apologize to the mail delivery  

People pretending to be collection agents for credit cards you don't even use, pretending to be Verizon or computer techs, Wells Fargo reps, as many scams as there are people. One I have been seeing a lot lately are the older folks getting taken in by "lovers" they have met online. Foolish old men and women being taken for thousands by "boyfriends and girlfriends" in foreign countries. You wonder how people so gullible manage to amass so much money.

Got one of those fake IRS calls a couple of years ago.  They threatened to send an armed team to arrest me.  I told them I was the team leader for the Atlanta region and to please ID themselves -- quick hang up. 

Good one. Almost makes me wish they'd call me, but I don't answer calls unless I recognize the number.
