Warning IRS Scam. Scared the hell out of me

Captain said:
Thank you for connecting the dots. I, for one, couldn't figure out why they'd ask for a lawyers name. Your explanation makes sense. Plus, it's an easy filter...



...I need to get an attorney.

Or just make up a name. LOL.

Heywood Jablowme, Esquire is taking clients I hear. ;)

Correction to my original story. The first call was from D.C. After a week or two, that number was cancelled. Then a prankster called from a NYC number, but it sounds like the same cat, or at least someone with the same accent.

(347)828-9783

Have at it!

Hopefully it's not cancelled yet.

It goes to a voicemail. The recording was from a woman with a NY accent. Company name: Criminal Investigations New York.

I left a message telling them that I was returning a message from them, and that I would like to pay whatever it is that I owe immediately. I didn't leave a phone number, and the caller ID for me will show up as my Afghan cellphone. :wink2:
 
Oh man. I gotta call!!! I love harassing scumbags!!
 
These scams are soooooo transparently a scam, I don't see how anybody of middling intelligence gets concerned about them.
 
In all fairness to Billy, I did have to google "middling"

C'mon 6PC. Ain't you ever heard the phrase "fair to middlin'?" I thought you was Okie.

I thought that was referring to Midland like by Odessa. I thought it was like that Soundgarden song. "I'm lookin California but feeling Minnesota"

The geographical location was a metaphor representing a different state of mind on some abstract scale. no? :dunno:
 
Speaking of Middling.... if anybody has a copy of this I would pay for a copy to be sent to me...

There was hanging up on the wall of our flight school a Sunday cartoon and I'm fairly certain it was Jeff MacNelly (Shoe). It was color and all one panel. The heading says "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one." It shows two people in an open cockpit plane that has crashed into a barn. The front seat pilot asks "How was my landing?" and the back seat one says "Middlin'."

Attached is a VM my sister just got.
She said the call came from nachadoches(sp) tx but the area code for the phone number given is D.C.

I told her she needs to get out of the house before they come get her.

Nacogdoches.

Pronounced, "Nak eh doe chiss"

As opposed to Natchitoches, which is pronounced, "Nak eh tish"
 
I answer calls with numbers I don't recognize as "Special Agent Rogers, or McRoberts, or Thompson" What ever name I can think of. I like to mess with whoever is calling me for a bit, if I'm busy with work or something then I ask them to hold on and put them on mute and set the phone down until they hang up.

If you're ever in that much trouble you'll get a letter first, then a visit... no one is going to call you.

I just called them. I made up a number, name, etc. They couldn't find my case and told me the voicemail was a mistake. I was trying to get them to just make me a case but I guess they won't do that :)

Now I need to think up another way to mess with them.

Did they answer the phone "Internal Revenue Service"?

Just call them and order a large pepperoni pizza. Get irate when they say you have the wrong number.
