I once got a call from them claiming I owed thousands of dollars to the IRS and if I don't pay it within one hour the Sherriff's office would be at my door. I wished him the best of luck getting his Sherrif across the Canadian border.

My friend got a call from the “IRS” and threatened to arrest her husband. She told the “Agent” to come and get him. (She’s not married)

When these IRS "agents" tell me their name is "Matt Wilson" in a thick Indian accent I tell them my name is "Mahatma Gandhi" in a thick southern drawl.

I’m impressed with the IRS customer service, last time I needed to talk to them it took me three weeks to get an appointment in person.

I had an arrest warrant for the same too. I am waiting for the cops to arrive at my house for more than 4 years. I am not sure if I should wait a little more.

Biggest red flag is the IRS doesn't call you, ever!

Oh God I love it when they call me. I spend as much time as I can and play stupid till they start screaming at me. Honestly, I just had one yesterday. Made my day.

I love her sarcastic, annoyed facial expressions. The BBB has one HELL of an employee right there lol. GREAT JOB!

The scammer gave up because there was no fear on the other line, just questions. You can't threaten someone who has no fear.

I called those people back so many times they blocked my number. Then I switched phones and called again. They begged me to stop calling them. Then I posted the number on Facebook and invited my 350 friends to call. Within 24 hours that number was no longer working. I love messing with scammers. It gives me such joy. 😁

One time when I had a tax Scammer call me and he threatened I would go to jail if I did not get the gift cards to pay him I told him he's too late. He asked me why. I told him I was in jail. He asked me why. I told him for tax evasion. He he hung up his phone on me! HA!

Last time I called the IRS, it took 4 HOURS ON HOLD to get ahold of anyone just to speak with them for 3 minutes 🤣

I think that agent was fired from the "IRS" shortly thereafter and was subsequently employed by Microsoft because got a call from the same woman claiming they detected a serious problem with my Windows computer.

When they ask if it’s you say, “no. Just a minute, I’ll get them”. Then leave them hanging on the phone. It’s their money.
