Just a sampling from last week. Every single one of these is the same scam. I had another seven yesterday.

I never answer and they always leave the same prerecorded voicemail message (although that message seems to change every few days) about me owing taxes, which I absolutely don’t.

I also get most of them within an hour, which makes it even more annoying.

And yes, I’m on the do not call list.

Someone please make it stop!

    Start reporting these numbers to the FBI as scam-related.

    Once they realize any number that calls you gets burned, they’ll stop.

      The can spoof any number. They usually go with something local (to you) to increase the odds of you picking up.

      Calling back will get you Bob on the other side of town who has no idea what missed call you’re talking about.
