Did you ever get the “the police will be at your home within ?48 hours with a warrant unless you pay...” Calls?

I used to let those kind of calls scare me.
Not anymore. I know for a fact that I have a payback agreement with the IRS. It’s a Done Deal. So don’t even go there.

**These are the times I miss my heavy rotary phone.
With a rotary phone, you could hang up very loudly, sending a message of “Stop f*cking with me!”
Cell phones only hang up in silence.
There is probably some kind of App that puts a Hang Up sound on your calls, but I haven’t looked for it.

I get scam calls a half-dozen times, every single day.
I never answer, but they leave messages on my answering machine.
IRS, Microsoft, car warranties, dell, health care, bank accounts, credit cards, etc., etc.
The “do not call list” is a joke.

Blame VOIP and number spoofing. I've gotten a couple of calls from people who insist that I called them. I have to explain that someone must have spoofed my number.

Unless caller ID indicates I know the. caller, I do not answer the phone. Usually such people chose not to leave a message.

The IRS will contact you by mail AFTER you think you got away with it and AFTER the fines and penalties have astronomically increased the amount that they will take from you.

I got one yesterday from “Social Security.” It was the same guy (after I pressed 1 to hear the msg about my federal investigation) that called my Mom with Alzheimer’s last week. When he heard my voice after I laughed, He bragged about how much “f-ing” money he has made from “f-ing” scamming people in this manner and hung up. Indian sounding accent with perfect English; although liberally sprinkled with the f word.

I wish they’d lock these people up and throw away the key.

Had one a few years ago, the guy sounded like he had a thick Indian accent but it could have been Pakistani. He said, “I am calling from the IRS and you are in big trouble.” I said, “You are calling from Mumbai and YOU are in bigger trouble.” He said, “This is not a joke. You owe us more than five thousand dollars and we’re sending the police over unless you pay it to us today.” I was like, “You owe me money, and I’m sending the Mumbai police over to collect it from you. They’re already on their way.” He started screaming, “This is the IRS, this is really the IRS.” I hung up.

It's what finally led me to cancel my land line. Everyone I knew called me on my cell, so it was only scammers on the land line.

All you gotta’ do is say “I did what you told me; she’s dead; there’s blood all over the place; what do you want me to do with the body?”

My cell phone stays off most of the time just for that reason. I check in some times just to erase the crap.

If you want to play the change your phone number game, it might take you a couple of numbers to get one with reduced harassment calls. Because that’s the same reason why the previous owner of that number switched

When I get them I ask “how much do I owe?”. When the answer with an amount I reply “that is great its down about half”.

I got one the other day that said....

"This is the legal call is to inform you that your social has been involved in illegal activity. We are attempting to resolve this before criminal charges are filed by your local barister. Call (#) to resolve this immediately"

"The Legal Call? Do law enforcement agencies typically say "this is the legal call"? And my social? Do they mean my Social Security Number? Social Media Account? My lack of a social life? And I'm pretty sure I haven't had a local barister since my family immigrated from England to the New World around 1680.

You would think these scam outfits would at least take the time to get the script right, I was thinking about writing them a good script and calling back just to run it by them, but who know, I might actually end up helping them.

“”””Did you ever get the “the police will be at your home within ?48 hours with a warrant unless you pay...” Calls?”””

Yup. And it is not from the IRS, they say they are with the Internal Revenue DEPARTMENT. And you need to send gift cards or you will be in court tomorrow.

And here just west of Minneapolistan on the door of the Walgreens it says if you are here to buy gift cards for the IRS it is a scam.
