Just a sampling from last week. Every single one of these is the same scam. I had another seven yesterday.

I never answer and they always leave the same prerecorded voicemail message (although that message seems to change every few days) about me owing taxes, which I absolutely don’t.

I also get most of them within an hour, which makes it even more annoying.

And yes, I’m on the do not call list.

Someone please make it stop!

    The voicemails are prerecorded, so I wonder if you ever actually talk to a human or just enter your bank details via the number pad?

      They’ll generally instruct you to press some number on the keypad to be “connected to an agent.” That’s the live person who will try to hustle you.
