Count yourself lucky. I also have Magic Jack, but all my robo calls are coming in on my cell phone. I already have 94 robo calls for July. Interesting that they started when my provider was changed to Comcast. I did not change my phone number. Have had this number 20 years without one problem until now. I've written a letter to the Federal Trade Commission along with each of the phone numbers. Will post their response when I receive one.

They always send you a letter which will have an address, a phone number, and a FAX number to contact them to resolve the issue. And, you can resolve tax issues with the IRS on the phone.
You're exactly right RETIREDGUY, the only way they'll talk to you by phone is if you call them. First class letters is the way they mail you but I guess I had a special case that had to be settled in 4 days. Maybe that's why I got a registered letter. But you'r right what you said, thanks!

I received a similar call several months ago. The first call implied I would be arrested unless I responded. Then a later call said I would be arrested that day. I only LISTEN to the recording. If you answer and pretend you have a clever response your phone number is sold to more criminals to make more calls.
It’s amazing no legal or criminal action can be taken to stop this.

You're right. I get calls almost daily from Kentucky trying to sell me car insurance, and it is always from a new number, generally from a residence somewhere in the same area code. I must have a hundred blocked numbers by now.

Why don't you block the call?
