Scary Phone Call

I just received a phone call from someone that identified himself as an employee of the IRS. He asked me if I was a specific person and I told him I was not. He demanded to know who I was and initially refused to give me a contact phone number. He eventually gave me a phone number that my wife checked and was bogus. I would not give him any information and asked to speak with his supervisor. His supervisor came to the phone and identified himself as an employee of the IRS as well. I told him that I was not giving him anything. He responded by telling me that he was Osama Bin Laden and saying he was going to kill me. This is crazy. What do I do now?

I'm an expert with this.
Hide in your house and have someone completely wrap the house in duct tape.

Might try contacting the police or the IRS. Pretty sure that impersonating a federal employee is illegal.

Other option is next time they call, give them lots of completely idiotically wrong information. Like that used to me my name but since my sex change its Foxy Brown. Could be fun.

Actually no, if it were K-Jo and Mrs Jones would have been in the big house long ago.

Someone called my dad (73) a couple weeks ago and said they were on the way to kill him. He told the guy if he got past the 100 pound bulldog Mr. Winchester had something for his a$$
