    I have received 3-calls today thus far, and many over the past months from This Phone Number, 1-800-994-2184, Unidentified Caller posing as the IRS. This Person states that an Outstanding Warrant has been issued against me. This is Fraud, and the tenure of the Recorded message is one of a Threatening Nature, not to mention Harassment..This Number needs to be reported and Prosecuted..Threats and Harassment should be the charges..The IRS does Not phone you of an impending Warrant, but, send Written Notification, and a way of scheduling a face to face meeting to resolve the issue...This is a Internet Scam and Internet Fraud, and the proper authorities need to Stop this Caller (s), and Prosecute them...

    Avoid all this with one easy rule to live by - if it's important/someone you know they will leave a message.

    The call might be for the previous owner of the phone number, too, if the number is new to you.  I got a lot of calls for a deadbeat right after I moved and got a new number.  It happened with both our cellphones, as well.

    From midnight on, robocalls every 15 minutes without caller ID or number. Have to put phone on airplane mode or switch off. Can’t block  without some identifying info.

    This is a good one as I did call police as I heard something in or around my house and the did come but didn't do anything other than to tell me I needed to see my doctor~~~~POLICE PROTECTION!!  I highly doubt it and they should be ashamed of themselves!!!

    Being on the do not call list doesn't stop spammers.  They totally ignore it.

    Tell them to send a certified letter. If they cannot give you your address and ask you for it, it is a bogus call. DO NOT give them your address. IT IS A SCAM to scare you into giving up your money. I get these calls EVERY DAY. MY attorney says to try and get THEIR address...lol. When I ask them forTHEIR address, they hang up.
