Ocala is in Marion County. If the scammers wanted you to bring vouchers to Ocala, it would seem the Marion County Sheriff could set up a sting to catch them.

Also, what was the phone number that showed up on your Caller ID? I have "nomorobo" on my telephone and it works great. Since installing it, there have been fewer and fewer robocalls trying to get me to pick up.

Thanks for the warning. Hope no one falls for the scam.
I had someone try to pull the IRS scam on me 2 years ago. They kept talking about getting "vouchers", which I later found out is an African term for bank check. This time they gave me 15 minutes to contact "my attorney" or they would send local LEOs to arrest me. I told them to send them now and hung up. Still waiting....... I spoke with Sumter Co. sheriff's office who weren't too interested. I'm going to contact the US Marshal's office, but realistically, this is going nowhere.
