Letter to the Editor: What happened to the Do Not Call list?

To the Editor:
In the past couple weeks  we have received three telephone calls from persons with  foreign accents and a Washington D.C. phone number. They claim to be from the IRS and threaten us if we don’t call back immediately. I called the sheriff’s office and was told that they have received many of the same complaints. They said  if people call back they are told if they don’t pay they will go to jail and they have to send cash cards not checks or credit cards. Instead of the NSA spending hundreds of millions of dollars so they can listen to phone calls between us and our significant others they should be using our taxpayer money to find these people who are breaking the law and trying to intimidate and steal from American citizens and taxpayers. Also what has happened to the No Call list. A lot of our tax dollars were spent to set the system up but it doesn’t work. When the solicitors found out that there was no enforcement they continued to make calls.
