Scammers Calling My Phone

These scammers called my phone, claiming to be from the IRS. They said I owed ~$4000 in back taxes and that the police were going to be notified and be at my door if I didn't pay up.
Silly, but I have a friend who's mother fell for it a few months back. Glad they called. Spend the last 30 minutes calling them back and saying some horrible things to them. Called them 26 times. They seem to not like getting constant calls from people while they are trying to work. Go figure. They put me on the line with their "head supervisor" who told me that I am too much to deal with on the phone, and that there will be a police officer at my door within the hour.
I told him I was head of police just for a good laugh. It's a pretty intricate scam though, they get your phone number and look up your area on google maps to look at court buildings and stuff in your area.
The last 13 calls I would just be like, "Hey, me again. I'mma keep calling, I have all day. Just wanted to let you all know you're pieces of shit."
edit: took down the number.

Today is a passive aggressive kind of day. That and I'm sick of getting phone calls from scammers offering free cruises and jail time. I get like 4 - 5 calls a day from random numbers, and have since I got this new number. Debating asking verizon for a new number because this one was so infected already.

2 things I can assure you of
1. the IRS never calls you on the phone, they always contact you by mail 2. they will not send cops to arrest you over back taxes, they levy your belongings

Verizons likely the one giving it out.

I understand. Sometimes you just have to fuck shit up, however you can.
