I bet your phone blows up like mine.

At some point, you look down and you see a phone number.

You don't recognize it.

And you think to yourself, hmm, I wonder who that could be.

Hello, this is Rachel at Cardholder Services.

This is Heather at Account Services.

This call is officially a final notice from IRS.

Once again, my name is Alejandro, and today we are inviting you to enjoy beautiful

resorts that IRF have issued an arrest warrant against you.

Right now, you have received a notification regarding your tax filings.

I have been trying to reach you.

Now, the idea behind today's promotion is to help send you on a family. These are, of course, automated calls that promise everything from free vacations and airline tickets to threat supposedly coming from the IRS.

These so-called robocalls have become a real nuisance all across the United States.

Last month alone, Americans received 3,400 million unwanted automated phone calls,

landline or wireless over the last year. Robocalls are up by 900 million each and every month.

The reason for the increase is pretty easy to understand. Last year, Americans lost $9.5 billion to these scam calls.

And the risk to consumers is very real. By the end of this year, one in ten Americans will

lose money to these con artists, but in some cases, the damage can go well beyond, say,

some simple financial losses. It absolutely shut my life down.

I'm America's digital pro, Kim Commando.

And if you're like me, you're so tired of these phone calls.

It's driving me crazy.
