"Joe Mackle" from "Police... something or other" called at 8:45pm with a fake begging scam, probably.  I hung up after his first words.

Looking for money

He said he was that he was the irs and needed my social and Tax ID number!  I did not give it to him and asked where was he calling from?! He would not tell me at first but when asked again he gave me an address form Conneticut but he was calling from NY!  Just not cool for anyone to crack call to get my personal information to hurt me!

The calls are coming from hardcore criminals operating out of overseas boiler rooms using computers to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement. Do not call them back or attempt to engage them in a coherent conversation, as all they are interested in extorting money for nonexistent debts. And, if you pay them, not only will you never see your money again--but they will more than likely attempt to extort even more money from you. A local woman who paid them 5K is now receiving death threats if she does not pay them another 1K. If they call again, just hang up and block the number (if you have that capability) and report them to the REAL IRS online or (855) 411-CFPB (2372).
