Urgent IRS message from 202-241-7251. Scam, IRS doesn't call first, they always send a letter plus the recording is so poor I almost couldn't understand it.
I will be using my robodailer to call them back 20 times a minute for the next two weeks just to f*** with them. The cops aren't going to do anything and the IRS isn't either. Time for some good old fashion vigilante justice.
