Good luck in there, brother! Sounds like they got an air tight case. Lol!

LMAO I got a call like this and just to see what would happen, I called them and someone picked up the phone, right away, no prompts or anything, and answered, “Hello IRS?”

I proceeded to cuss them out and call them a bunch of names which I won’t repeat here for those with delicate palettes but within 10 seconds he lost it and started cussing back at me, LMAO.

What's really sad is the elderly would be the most likely to fall for this thing.
FWIW, the IRS communicates through snail mail. I know this from experience.

Got the same call a few days ago. I think it was almost the same number , from Bronxville, NY.

And here I was thinking you did something illegal enough to get arrested, and epic enough to post it... I'm moderately disappointed, but glad you're not in jail

Not unless going to work, coming home, drinking beer, and smoking cigars is crime.

It's OK. Maybe IRS stands for "I'm Really Sorry"

My dad had a police whistle he would blow into the phone when they answered. Not sure if it worked but he sure enjoyed doing it!

 

[sweemzander]

My wife received one of those calls a year or two back, it freaked her out enough to call me about it haha

 

[bostoneo]

The mother of an in-law got scammed with the "your grandson is in jail and you need to send money" bit. Cost a woman living on SS 2 grand.

I don't know if any of you are Twitch users, probably not because you're all FOGs, but Kitboga has a whole stream where all he does is fuck with scammers. He sets up a virtual machine on his computer and let's them connect with the express purpose of fucking with them for as long as possible. He uses different personalities and has dozens of ways of fucking with them.

You can also report these scams and the phone numbers/emails they use to Kit so he and his community of "Scambaiters" can fuck with these people and turn over information they learn to the competent authorities. Definitely worth a watch.

I get a good kick out of it too. The best is the Grandma he imitates with a voice changer. Gold.

My I.T. co worker, Bud, was a scambaiter. They sent Bud a fake check, which he "took as payment" for 24 laptops. The photo was was actually 24 empty boxes from the school.
Of course, our little friend paid $400 shipping out of pocket. So he paid $400 for a broken apartment refrigerator.

Google "anus laptops" sometime too.
