thank god! they are highly annoying usually at inconvenient times and the one warning me of my pending arrest by the IRS for tax evasion is my favorite; generally in a third-world accent. https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/04/11/473847620/a-real-life-tax-scam-this-is-what-irs-phone-fraud-sounds-like I always respond in my Indian accent: sound terrified; and offer to bring cash to any place they designate...to put an end to the 'monkey business' as I, a poor immigrant, do not have a checking account....and they always hang up. Verizon with whom I been for 33 years says they can do nothing and then they try to sell me a $1000 'smart phone'..... to replace my beloved 20+ year old flip phone.
