Have any of you received those "IRS" phone calls? We've had several in the past couple of weeks. We told one of them that I am an IRS lawyer myself. He hung up immediately. We played along with another lady and finally got sent to her supervisor. He mentioned the State of New York and when we said we were in California he hung up. They spoof the IRS line on caller ID, but all of the callers have had Indian accents and start out very threatening. "Sir, you don't want a Marshal to come to your front door and arrest you." "You have been defrauding the government since 2002." "Do you have a lawyer?"
I can see how some people might be terrified by this sort of tactic. Beware!
