Well, I finally got my call from the IRS
Apr 4, 2017, 5:42 PM
|

on my CELL phone!!! Was notified by a recording that the IRS had a lawsuit against me and if I didn't call 845-363-5384 within 4hrs they would send the Sheriffs Dept to my house with a warrant. Well, being the good citizen that I am I made the call. I was informed that I owed $9300 to the IRS and if I would wire $5000 dollars to Brewster, NY I would be cleared of any charges. I informed them that I had no transportation but had the cash and if they would send their rep to my house I would pay up. They said it didn't work that way and I should get to Western Union as soon as possible and call them from there. I said I couldn't do that and was informed that law enforcement would be at my house within the hour. I thought......NY......I wonder if that call originated from a Tugboat? Your thoughts please, the cops are coming to get me.

I've experienced this same thing. Once I figured out what they were doing I wasted about a half hour of their time giving out fake names fake information and making them prove to me who they are lol. They'll give you if numbers and case numbers to make it seem real

Whenever they call me I try to have phone sex

With them. It's amazing how fast they hang up when you ask them what they are wearing and tell them their voice is getting you aroused. With one Indian dude I got all the way to telling him I wanted to smell his curry infused farts. Try it.

I got a laugh... I literally live the next town to Brewster NY - no IRS there! Suburb of NYC. I know you were kidding about the cops coming to get you! By the way did they leave an address - I'd gladly stop by for you!

Tell them your uncle has the money to cover this, and congratulate them on good timing!
Your uncle, a Nigerian Prince, just needs them to send their account info to a British bank.

as they say you will be watching the Tigers play next fall from a Federal Prison. If I was you I would immediately pack up the family and head for the hills where the blue ridge yawns it's greatness.
You can thank me later.

They had a special on the news a couple weeks ago where a cop actually got the same call. He called the number back while they were actually video taping and had his phone on speaker. Conversation went on for a few minutes. The cop never told the scammer he was a cop at least while on video.

Report it to TIGTA - Treasury Inspector General

for Tax Administration. You can call 1-800-366-4484 or go to www.tigta.gov and fill out the form. They'll need the phone number that called you. I reported it when they called me.

communication monitored. They should expect the NSA, DHS, and some men from "the company" on their doorstep in the next few hours.

I get this all the time. It's the law that they have to send you a copy of your debt in the mail and give you 30 days, I beleive to respond. If they refuse to send you something to verify it, then it's fake.

Wasn't me , my company had me in the ICW all last week between Norfolk and Jacksonville, Florida. I will ask around , but suggesting that tugboaters are smart enough to scam ANYONE shows that you really haven't done your research.
