Crooks and scams

I got a call on my cell from "the irs".


They claimed I had 1 hour to pay the thousands I owed or the police would come to arrest me.

They said I had to purchase "tax payment vouchers" at a local store.

I suggested they email my banker in Nigeria as he has millions on deposit awaiting my claim fee and form.
Shockingly, they hung up.




On the serious side, don't be fooled, the IRS won't call your cell.
