Ah, yes, another IRS call from Pradesh, India. It is a wonder how the government is outsourcing our agent's jobs there. I was in a hurry and he called on my work phone so I only played with him a little. He said he was Officer Eric Davis with the Internal Revenue Tax Fraud Division or at least that is what it sounded like. He did not speak English well at all. Perhaps this is a new job for him. After giving him a fictitious name, he had my file immediately. I kept telling him he was breaking up, forcing him to repeat himself several times for every sentence he spoke. I asked if he was calling from Washington, D.C. He said he was. I asked him the address for my records. He actually said 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. I asked him if that was in Seattle. He said no no no Washington, D. C. I asked him why his area code was 206 which is Washington State. He then became very confused. I said that Washington D.C. was the 202 area code. He said I was a liar and did not know what I was talking about and that there was no Washington State. I told him that he was not a very adept scammer and perhaps he should take Geography 101 before his next call and then I did the worst thing I could. I laughed at him. That makes them so angry I can picture their eyes popping out of their head when I do that because I laugh like a crazy hyena. He hung up on me. Poor Officer Davis. He didn't even get to tell me how much I owed. Do not fall for these scammers and Be Safe!
