Phone Scams Continue to be a Serious Threat, Remain on IRS “Dirty Dozen” List of Tax Scams for the 2016 Filing Season.
WASHINGTON — Aggressive and threatening phone calls by criminals impersonating IRS agents remain a major threat to taxpayers, headlining the annual "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams for the 2016 filing season, the Internal Revenue Service announced today. ...
When they identified themselves as "officer" so and so from the IRS, I informed them that the IRS DOES NOT call people and therefore they are impersonating a government agency and can be arrested.... needless to say, they hung up on me.
I received a call from this same number. It was a woman's voice with an accent, telling me that this call is from the IRS and that I need to call them right away as there is something wrong with my tax refund. If I didn't call them it could result in my arrest....needless to say I never answered the call. They just left a voice mail...
I called them back and I made Frank Johnson so mad he called me a Mother F#$%er and hung up on me. That might be because I told him to crawl back in the sandhole his mother S#it him in and cover himself up.
I didn't get the woman's name but she spoke slowly and sounded like she was high on something struggling to read the IRS scam script. I cannot believe these guys are such idiots (but I guess some people fall for it or they wouldn't keep at it).
I tried to call the number back but it just rang. I liked David's response - my father and I got quite a laugh out of it. I'll have to remember that one.
