I figured it was pointed at him, just couldn't figure why.
I got a call yesterday from NY 917-675-3126, according to the caller Id. Like you, I don't answer if I don't know who's calling. Crap, the blue light starts flashing they left a voice mail. It's usually just a stray sound on the line that triggers a recording but I have to call and delete it to stop the light. But lo and behold there's a message saying it's a courtesy call to inform me the IRS is filing suit against me, and to call the number to receive a case file number. I know this is bullshit, so I Google that number. It must be a new scam because I only got 79 hits, most of them wanting to sell me information about the location. The valid links said people who called were given a case number then asked personal information like name, address, etc, but not credit card number, so they must be compiling a call list to sell. This can't be legal, maybe that's why only 79 hits.
