I keep getting calls telling me that my computer is at risk and I need to take action. But, I do not own a computer!

The IRS left me a message yesterday saying I own $2,300 in back taxes and that if I don’t pay I am going to be arrested and taken to jail. I don’t know if this is a real call or not. Help!

Every so often I get phone calls asking me to give money to the police department. I don’t want to be victimized so what I do is call the Police when I get these calls and ask them if they are collecting for anything in our town. They tell me no. They are not collecting. That’s how I know this is a fake call.
