Almost daily I speak to a citizen who has received another scam call from the IRS, credit bureaus, or who knows what goofy claim. I receive these calls on my cell phones just as often. If I do not recognize the phone numbers, I don't answer them. The latest bunch of callers threaten to "send the COPS to your house and arrest you". No reputable business would use that term. I will Google the phone numbers and most often find they are listed as scam numbers and have numerous reports associated to the numbers. Federal agencies are always chasing these call centers but find they are in countries where English is not their first language. Remember, do not confirm or give out any personal information over the phone, unless you have personally called a business you know or do business with.
