SCAM SCAM...eventually they ask for your credit card numbers. THEY HAVE NO STREET ADDRESS AND NO WAY TO HAVE YOU CALL THEM. The only recourse, I've found, is to report the number to the FTC. FIrst, register your number on the do not call list at http://www.donotcall.gov Once you have been registered, report each and every call, the date and time of call. It takes 2 minutes to do it. This company uses numbers in many, many area codes. I've googled at least 10 or more. All the same. I talked to the guy today and told him to take me off the list and he said I had to call my bank to request that. THIS IS ILLEGAL, people. According to donotcall.gov, You may file a complaint if you received an unwanted call after your number was on the National Registry for 31 days. You may also file a complaint if you received a call that used a recorded message instead of a live person (whether or not your number was on the Registry). AND I FIND THIS INTERESTING... "A consumer who receives a telemarketing call despite being on the registry will be able to file a complaint with the FTC, either online or by calling a toll-free number. Violators could be fined up to $16,000 per incident. "

I love my Iphone and I haven't had any problems with it, I have arthritis in my hands and I can use the keyboard just fine, not to mention now I can plug it into my new jeep and listen to all my music, fine feature that is! I've had my phone for over a year, and I love love love it. :) I use google maps, and around me, found a yarn shop in the middle of Moab Utah within seconds last summer and that was the first time I'd ever been there. Plus it worked in Yellowstone and my other phone didn't. So far I haven't had any trouble with mine and neither has DH he loves his too.

I answered the phone because I had been left a detailed message about a possible DEA investigation that might involve me. Normally, I don't answer if I don't recognize the number, but I was a little concerned about this. The caller was very threatening and abusive from the beginning. I never ordered any medicine online, except through my prescription plan and medicine for my dog for which I had a prescription. He knew my name and address. Even though I was totally innocent, I felt a little scared, and had I been someone a little more naive, I, too, might have been tempted to pay a fine just to get them off my back. He got no information from me, although he pressed for a lot...where do you work, you know you're going to lose your job,etc. Heinous people. I reported into the DEA hotline.

Well, next time you guys get a phone call from someone claiming to be from IRS and asking for money, here's what you should do: 1. If you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS. They can help you set up a payment arrangement. 2. If you get a call and you know it's a scam, refer the call to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. 3. File a complaint with the FTC through their website. 4. Expose the phone scam by reporting it to Callercenter.com. Submit a complaint and warn others. Remember that the IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers to discuss tax issue and demand immediate payment.
