I often receive phone calls informing me that the IRS and or Social Security in investigating me and I am subject to forfeiture and imprisonment. I normally just tell them to F Off.
If I am bored and have time on my hands I will play them along and act most concerned and willing to cooperate to avoid the supposed penalties. After playing them along I will ask if they have my last years income tax records up on their computer screen. This is right after they ask for a credit card number. They always say yes. I then ask what was my total gross income last year. At this point they either hang up or there is a few seconds of silence at which point I tell them to F off. If one is bored and has time on your hands it can be most amusing.
What is really evil is these bastards prey on the elderly.
I get these phone calls as well. And they are still going on, yesterday was a call allegedly from Social Security - allegedly from Vancouver BC. Yeah, Canada. I was in downtown Houston, and in fact walking distance from Ryan Patrick’s office. I told them I would just walk over and turn myself in, besides I was going to pay him a visit anyway. Click.
I know Ryan Patrick from bicycle racing.
I tell them to F off too. I had one guy ,’’James’’, tell me he was from the Social Security ‘’Department’’(we all know it’s ‘’Administration’’). Said I owed $20,000.Said I could pay $400 thru Pay Pal to avoid ‘’legal problems’’. And if I didn’t pay up I’d be arrested. I said “Ok pal, tell you what, send me the $20,000 and I’ll send you the $400’’. He said “No no, you must send $4000 dollars’’. I said “Well then, send me $10,000 and you can owe me the rest. $5,000 now and $5,000 later’’. He said “No you must send the $400!’’ Then when I said “F off!’’.
