Default IRS phone SCAM is back!!

Just got to messages that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me (right!!) and to call 717-393-8762, which is the SAME number on the caller ID. If you get this call do not answer.
Hope this helps.

Several weeks ago a fellow TOTV poster mentioned Mr.Number Block for just these kind of nuisance calls. According to our field test of this App from the Google Play Store we are pleased to let you know that it appears this helps you block these pain in the butt calls from your life. Give it a try and share your experience please. Others are surely more technically knowledgeable than I.

Just make sure you pay your IRS debt with Target gift cards.

This one comes back year after year, and there must be people falling for it. My favorite part is that they want you to go to the bank and get "vouchers". Apparently this is the Nigerian term for a money order, as if the accents don't give them away.

EVERYONE PLEASE REMEMBER----THE IRS WILL NEVER CALL YOU, THEY ONLY CORRESPOND BY SNAIL MAIL
