I've never gotten calls about the computer scam or IRS. But they try to trick you: my area code is 817, so u think it might be someone u know. Well finally got tired of calls, picked up next time & it was about my student loans! What a laugh!!! I'm 72 & have never taken out but I told the guy my kids have.... When it is a strange area code, I don't bother.. Usually you can't even understand their English... The "no call list" doesn't work... I like the whistle one...
