The scammers called me again. This time i just hade some fun with them. Theay told me the irs was suing me and we need to resolve this matter. I said okay i didn't want to be in trouble. What can we do. I just played stupid. Just to see how far theay would go trying to not discourage them in any way till the very end. Then they asked me my info i gave them what they needed. All fake i just made it up ssd number address names. They bought it. I said what can we do. And what's your name. Mike Johnson. id irm- 2075. Then he said something about the federal building and cash. I asked well how much. He said $ nine thousand seven hundred dollars and 80 cents. I just laughed keeping it quite. Then he said i owned the irs from 2010 through 2015. I said okay what can we do please let's do something. I even begged him. He asked do you have the money? I said yes can i send it to you now. He said no we don't take cc card. I said how about money orders. No we can't he said do you have money in bank. Yes i said. Do you drive? Yes i said. Bold on I'll get my manager. Ok please hold. Then the John Walton was his name. Okay! You have car yes. I said yes ok get in car and start driving. Ok so i made it sound like im im my car. Go to bank. Put phone on speaker. I said ok and i need your information where im sending money. To pay you now i have cash. Oo you have cash!! Yes i really don't half to go to the bank. How can i send it. Please Oo no please help me send you my money now. Lol. Theay woulb not give me any info at all. Well how can i pay you if i have i don't know where to send it. Then i called them on it. I said this sounds like extortion. Then they just hung up. This is my fun story and would be glad to play with these dummys agin. Just keep speed dialing them back for week's too. I will. I dont see how any bank would do a transaction to somebody over the speaker phone. And no info? Theay just screwed them selves. How stupid are these people. Let me guess really really stupid. Anyway best regards to all you readers. Jeffrey. And please try not to laugh... Ha ha ha.
Because they are criminals and they do not obey the law. Do not answer unknown calls and do not call them back. Consider getting a call blocking device (or app for your cell phone)-they're available online and start around $45. http://800notes.com/nb/search?q=call+blockers
One of the dumber scammers around - leaves a message with phone #, city and state (Beaverton, OR). Our police department loves to trace these guys. Something about a lawsuit
Received a call on my cell which started with a recorded message stating I was being called concerning a lawsuit. I was instructed to either press 1 for an attorney or press 2 to face criminal charges... I hung up. Then I looked up the number here and found out it is just another scam. They will do anything to try and get access to your credit info or phone data.
Caller said name is Kevin Mason (name certainly did not match his heavy accent). Calling to tell me his company could help me with my US Treasury problem. Indicated that if I didn't call back I would have to go before a grand jury or magistrate and face jail time.
