yup , they want to sell you an extension to your non existent warranty , get you to pay them for it ,get your CC number and all your info. then it is not there when you need it
IRS scam verify your SS number for them , then they have it and ID fraud
you can report them to the law , few if any are even in the USA they spoof some other legit phone number
had some one calling saying they were from the Gov the caller ID showed the local hospital , you can report but not much the law is likely to do
the FBI should investigate some of these , it would be great to see some of them get shut down , I mean really it couldn't be any more of a waste than the garbage they spent the last 4 years investigating.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

My wife got scammed out of 757 dollers about a month ago, on that Amazon rip off. They called saying it was amazon and someone was trying to buy 4000 dollars worth of apple crap and suggested she call the company. That should have been her tip off right there, I would have said, well transfer my call! Somehow they put their number up instead of amazons number on amazons website. She called that number and got this "supervisor". He led her through all kinds of hoops, and got her card numbers by saying they had to cancell out the old security, and now give me the sttuff to set up your new security on your acct. One card worked, the bank let them do it, they tried on the other card, but that bank wouldn't let them use it. The one she talked to had a pakastani accent, and he was working with a mexican.They used western Union to pick up the money. My wife thinks Western Union is in on it, but I'm not so sure, but whoever works there prolly is. I don't understand why our all powerful government, who claim they can handle anything, can't do something about these jerks!

I just got called telling me if I break down and get stranded on the highway it’s my own fault because they have called for almost a year now trying to get me to extend my factory warranty. well I say , how . I say how , well just how is it that a Warrantee is going to keep me from getting broken down on the side of the road. (fog horn leg horn voice) whell I say are you telling me your warranty is going to do all thepreventative maintince and inspection on this here automobile before I go out every time. well just how is it? they keep asking what I have for a vehicle , if you say well I have a few. then start with old ones , they say no no no do you have anything newer , well yes I do , move up a year or so. by car 6 or so they get really frustrated when you haven't left the 1990s this has actually turned into a source of entertainment, you can invent a stutter , or talk like fog horn leghorn , no cussing this is clean fun , fake yell at your fake kids in the the back ground how long can you keep them on the line or how fast can you get them to hang-up or if you can tell they are not a native English speaker few are , make them repeat them selves 3 times with everything they say , come again ? could you speak clearer please ? I just have such a hard time with your accent where did you say your form again?

Just start screaming into the phone every time it rings. Don't work, it's always a recording.

Dang that sucks. Remember, the IRS sends letters, they don’t call. Oh Really -- In the past I have had them call me a few times. They had all my information right and wanted to send me my refund. It was several thousand dollars. I said that sounds great, but what if you found out that I got the refund and you sent another one. He said we are going to come and get it back. Oh, I did have the file near me and told him when I got the refund. End of case. Another time they called and asked "Are you going to file a tax return this year" My answer Oh yes it's been 3 years. I found out You better file that 4th year or they are after you. The other thing is you better have a refund coming each year you missed or you are going to get whopped with a Big Penalty. *
