OMG! The IRS has issued an arrest warrant for me and it will be executed if I don't return their

[Floyd R. Turbo]

call immediately!

[Xipe Totec]

1. Good thing they called ahead. Mighty thoughtful of them. nt

[Floyd R. Turbo]

19. Yes it was thoughtful! I'm going to send the IRS a thank you card.

Something with kitties on it!

[unblock]

2. off with that arrest warrant's head!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. A chance to

get ahead! 😏

[True Dough]

3. Executed?

I see they already forced you to remove your avatar with help from Fox. You're under siege, Floyd!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

21. I'm a victim of circumstances! 😢

[PJMcK]

4. Better move to an undisclosed location

Get off the grid immediately!

(wink)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

22. I'm packing now! 👍🏻

[Croney]

5. I'm in the same boat.

Did you get the woman who sounds like a robot with dying batteries?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

23. One and the same!

At first I thought my Alexa was pranking me! 😁

[MiniMe]

6. My arrest warrant was "issued" 3 years ago, still waiting for them to show up

The IRS doesn't call, they send a letter first.

[emulatorloo]

17. IRS even has a page about this scam on their website, telling folks it is fake

[Floyd R. Turbo]

25. The caller did say they've been trying to contact me! Maybe I missed the letter! 😢

[In_The_Wind]

7. Dontcha hate it when that happens.

Always on a Friday, usually around 5PM.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

26. During drinks! 🍸

[Laf.La.Dem.]

8. You do not need to go to jail!!

Just go get a few "money cards" and send them what they want!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

27. Cool! How many/much? Heading to the store now!

[awesomerwb1]

9. I got a similar call the other day

Said they were gonna call "the cops".

[Floyd R. Turbo]

30. How much was your bail?😏

[awesomerwb1]

38. No amount mentioned

It said to press a key to get transferred to a live person. I can see a good number of naive people falling for it (percentage wise overall) since the script sounded professional and 'legit' until she said "cops". lol

The scary part is that somehow the call got through to my extension.

[JDC]

10. Maybe you owe taxes on your Nigerian Lottery Championships

[Floyd R. Turbo]

32. Hey! Now you sound like my wife.

How was I to know!

[sharp_stick]

11. The thing that bugs me most about these

is that they've gone to robocalls instead of live Steve or Emily with an incredibly thick Bangalore accent.

[Demoiselle]

29. Exactly! I might have been worried when I got my callbut

…I figured the IRS doesn't work out of Bombay.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

33. I do miss the personal touch! 😏

[Sanity Claws]

12. Make sure they have your current address

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington D.C.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

35. That dump!

[FM123]

13. I got the same call.

After I hung up, it occurred to me that they probably prey on a lot of senior citizens (we have many here in South Florida) and scare the hell out of them.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

36. They do! On a serious note, they called my 90 year old MIL. Scared the hell out of her.

[Lint Head]

14. I love to get these calls. I keep them on the phone and drive them nuts.

I talked to them like Scaramucci on steroids.

[emulatorloo]

16. Same here. At the end I tear into them for cheating poor elderly people. And tell them I will

report their lying despicable asses to the FBI.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

39. That's just plain mean! Poor folks just doing their job. 😏

[Lint Head]

71. They are doing the job of criminals.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

76. But, but, but they're the IRS!

[Lint Head]

77. Sarcasm? A talking point of Trump's is that the I.R.S. is criminal.

[emulatorloo]

15. Did they tell you to pay with iTunes gift cards? If so it is totally legitimate!1!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

40. Music lovers those IRS people! 😜

[Gothmog]

18. I hate these scams

[Floyd R. Turbo]

41. "Scams"? 😜

[MLAA]

24. So sorry to hear this....all on top of your laptop has a virus that only the anonymous caller and

Your credit card can fix! All these distractions keeping you from returning the Nigerian prince's email!
😬😃😳

[Floyd R. Turbo]

42. What's a fella to do? Prioritize I guess!

Where the hell is that email?

[kimbutgar]

28. I got several calls like this, this week

Also I have been summoned to a courthouse. I blocked their numbers and something happened to my phone that I could not make outgoing calls. CAlled AT&T RT minutes on the punks c
Gave up and the next day restarted my digital,phone modem and I call my service back. I now block these calls.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

43. Blocking doesn't seem to work for me!

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

31. If I don't get that same call once a week...

I think my phone is broken!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

44. I know! Like a toothache that suddenly goes away then you

miss it!

[LSFL]

34. I am sucking too.

The IRS is out for me, my warranty on my 20 year old jeep is expiring, my home warranty is lapsed, and with all this going on I apparently can't resist staying in posh resorts!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

45. Oh! Thanks for reminding me I have to call the

luxury cruise guy back!

[Binkie The Clown]

37. Don't take the IRS seriously.

For 50 years I mailed my tax returns on April 16 (or whatever day came after the postmark deadline date). Not once in that 50 years did the IRS ever even notice that I was always a day late.

Scammers from Nigeria, however, I'd really be concerned about. They might actually send the sheriff to your door!!!!!!!! Better pay them quick!!!! I'm series!!!! This is no joke!!!!!!!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

46. Now I'm worried! 😢

[lastlib]

85. When I worked for the IRS (years ago), they told me....

...that there was an administrative one-week grace period for filing your taxes without penalty. And we coded returns accordingly from April 15th to 22nd. Now, I don't send my return in until the 22nd (unless I'm due a refund, which never happens any more), and have never had a problem.

[Binkie The Clown]

86. Aw shoot! I thought I was really getting away with something. n/t

[COLGATE4]

47. You didn't understand. YOU are to be executed if you

don't return their call!!!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

48. That's not funny!

[COLGATE4]

49. Can't we all just get along???

[Floyd R. Turbo]

51. Do I get a last meal? 😋

[COLGATE4]

59. Sure - just give them your credit card # and it'll be delivered right away!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

61. Cheese pizza 🍕 then! 😋

[COLGATE4]

62. So sorry - you forgot your 3 digit security code

[Floyd R. Turbo]

73. 666!😈

[eppur_se_muova]

50. See if you can get a cell next to mine.

I'm not actually there yet -- apparently the process takes a long time.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

52. I'll ask them when they call back!

[MontanaMama]

53. We get these calls ALL the time!!

These fools are a freaking blast to mess with too. My 12 year old is a master at keeping them on the phone for as long as possible and he works them hard. One time we were asked to pay our "debt" with itunes gift cards if you can believe that.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

54. Is your 12 yo available for hire! 😏

[MontanaMama]

64. He'd do it for free.

When we've got one of these bozos on the line, he gets all excited. These are 2nd only to the calls we get from "Microsoft" warning us that our computer is sending error messages. I seriously wonder who falls for this stuff.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

74. A reasonable rate! 😁

[Pachamama]

55. Sorry Donald - we now know why you didn't release your tax returns

[Floyd R. Turbo]

57. Who's the tattletale? 😜

[Pachamama]

69. Smile - you mean the tail tell

[Floyd R. Turbo]

72. Ah ha!😜

[bitterross]

56. The Sad thing is - a lot of people fall for this or they wouldn't still be doing it

A lot of uneducated people (aka, Trump supporters) fall for this still and pay these people.

Of course, we could stop this abuse but the people most likely to be a victim of the abuse are the ones who keep voting for the GOP tools who prevent consumer fraud laws from being passed.

So I guess they get what they deserve

[Floyd R. Turbo]

58. As I mentioned up thread, my 90 yo MIL was called! Totally freaked her out! 😡

[pangaia]

60. Was her name Sally?

Sally calls me once every couple of weeks.

"Hi" This is Sally."

[Floyd R. Turbo]

66. Sadly no! No name!

[Corvo Bianco]

63. Laugh all you want but as someone who tends to feel guilty about everything,

I bought in and was worried for a full twenty minutes when they called me! (couple years back)

What a bunch of jerks.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

67. Bummer!

[brush]

65. Don't open your door. They might think you're not home.

I've gotten a couple of those scam calls too.

I play along when they threaten to come to my door and arrest me.

I ask how much do I have to send?

Then I ask the guy, "Okay, if you're going to arrest me, what's my address?"

They hang up then.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

68. The door is locked, alarm on, shades drawn and I'm

under the bed!

[brush]

70. Heehee! Under the bed is a good touch. They're sure not to find you there.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

75. Sly eh! 😏

[rzemanfl]

78. What's the number? I'll call and throw them off your tracks.

What's a thirty dollar phone call among friends?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

80. 510-443-0043! Seriously! They have now left seven messages.

I did a little research. Ripoff Report shows that number as being a law office in Cal. A spoof number no doubt!

[rzemanfl]

81. It's a RIPOFF???? Whoda thunk.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

83. Just can't trust anyone these days!

[catbyte]

79. Have you heard this on YouTube? It's epic.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

84. Brilliant!

[Doreen]

82. I remember once I got a call on my LAND LINE.

They were offering to help me with the problems my SMART PHONE was having. At the time I had an old TracFone flip phone. Another time I got a call about the problems with my computers internet speed. I had a computer but I was not connected to any internet servers and they just kept trying to tell me they would help me fix the speed. Oh, Yeah, I did get a call from the "IRS" telling me I owed money and if I did not pay now they were going to start legal procedures. I hung up then tried to call back the number and it was a disconnected number. I had called back out of morbid curiosity. I called my brother who is a tax lawyer and he told me that had been going on a lot and I did the right thing.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

91. My daughter got the IRS call followed by a letter. The letter of course was from a fictitious

address!

[Dr. Strange]

87. That happened to me too--I owed $250,000.

I hooked them up with my friend, who's a Nigerian prince, and had him pay it off.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

92. Cool!

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

88. So call back, you don't want any trouble from the feds

But first, get the email address for that Nigerian banker who's holding 6.2 million euros for you so you can pass that on along with authorization to directly draft that Nigerian account for payment.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

93. Good idea! 😏

[niyad]

89. I ask them if they would mind repeating the message for my recorder, or if they will keep

me company on the line until the cops arrive.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

94. Hahahahaha! 😂

[ailsagirl]

90. Those scammers are STILL doing this?????

[Floyd R. Turbo]

95. Yep! That day alone I received seven calls!😡

[ailsagirl]

99. I yelled at them last time they pulled this--

said I know you people are scammers-- the IRS DOES NOT CONTACT PEOPLE VIA PHONE!!!!!!!!!

Then ended it with, "STOP CALLING DAMMIT!!"

Sorry you had to experience this little scam so many times in a row

GRRRRRR

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

96. I got an offer for a free home security system.

I can give them your contact info, then you'll be safe.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

97. Wow! Are you sure? Thanks! 😏

[lpbk2713]

98. Just send them a money order for what you owe.

[jmowreader]

100. You wouldn't want to keep them waiting, now would you?

Call them back and tell them you don't have any money, so you won't be paying your tax bill.

When they tell you that you're going to be arrested, offer to give them directions:

Take Interstate 85 north of Durham, NC, to exit 189. Turn north off the ramp and drive to Veazey Road. Turn left onto Veazey, then go to State Road 100. Turn left, then take the second right. It's a gated community, so just tell the gate guard what you're there for and he'll be sure to take you right where you need to go.

(And he will, too...that's directions to the prison Bernie Madoff is in.)

[Squinch]

101. I think I'm one of the IRS's Most Wanted. They issue an arrest warrant for me like 3x a year!

I'm baaaaaaaaaddddd!

[krispos42]

102. Everybody panic!
