202-644-9774I did not pickup. They did not leave a message. I blocked the number.
Caller asked for me by name, I asked him to identify himself. I kindly asked to be removed from the list and he said "NO". I asked him if he had just said "No," he said "I did".I asked him again and he said "No, I will not" I informed I would hang and block the number as I did not desire to communicate further. At least 5 calls a day.
7 calls in 2 days..recordings saying its the I.R.S also comes up as new York...make threats of legal actions etc if I don't call back..I've been adding #s to my blocked call list..please don't fall for this, its a scam.
Just got a call from 202-888-5879. Caller would not speak. They asked my name. I told them and then they hung up.
They keep calling even though I told them not to call. I don't pick up call.
