Incompetent! After the 2016 bust, he should have shut down the call centers and laid low. He could have gone to the Middle East or Africa and lived it up for a couple of years, and then started fresh with a new scam.

I see so many crimes being prosecuted on President Trump’s watch that occurred during President Obama’s watch. :D

Many of these people get into these scams in order to live life high on the hog. Stateside, there’s really no reason to do it just to live a middle class life. However, when you’re burning the candle at both ends, financially-speaking, you *need* the funds that these schemes are generating.

Interesting to compare the time line of the swift prosecution of this dirtbag scammer to the much longer time line of the non prosecution of criminal Democrats involved in Spygate and the later coup against POTUS. It seems patently obvious here based on those two examples what crimes the DOJ is interested in prosecuting these days.

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.

If you ever get bored and need a laugh go on YouTube and watch videos of hackers getting into these call center scammers computers and crashing their system or taking all the money out of their accts. Its hysterical! Theres even one where Anonymous hacks them.

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!’’.

One called me yesterday, caller ID said....fraudulent call. I held and pushed 1 as instructed to talk to someone. When he came on and asked if I wished to join up I said not yet, I have questions. He said, OK, go ahead. I said, why does called ID say that this is a fraudulent call. He says, if you wish to be taken off our list I will do it. I said yes, but one more question first. Is it true that a dogs ass is cleaner than its mouth? CLICK.

Give him the Chair. It’s the only reasonable punishment for these leaches.

I think this should be a capital crime with all assets seized for victims compensation.

Is this why Microsoft and Dell isn’t calling me anymore because they are really worried about my network?

A ring posing as Microsoft tech support recently got busted in India, with help from Microsoft. Say what you will about Microsoft, fraudsters like these hurts Microsoft’s brand as well as defrauding the victims, so I must give kudos to Microsoft for helping law enforcement tracking down the fraudsters.

Absolutely!

For the longest time Dell was the biggest culprit, so much so, that I’m sure the callers were employees because they had my service tag number of my computer.
