Hello how may I help you? I have a question about phone scams. I can help you with that. Do you have a specific question? I have been receiving calls from 555-7225 and they say I owe the IRS money and they want me to send money to them using western union. Is that real or a scam? Can you provide the area code for that phone number, please? It is 516 area code. Thank you. That number is associated with a known scammer. I would advise to block that phone number and disregard any further contact. Is there anything else I can help you with? Is there anything else I should do? they call 2 or 3 times a week. You might consider contacting your local authorities if there is a consistent pattern of harassment. You can also report the number online to the FCC for abuse. Would it help if I get on something called the do not call registry? It likely would not. Only legitimate companies are bound by the do not call registry, people who are attempted to scam you will likely not abide by those rules. alright, I'm going to call my police department. Thanks. No problem. Have a wonderful day!
