“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

I just got a robocall from a Seattle number that claimed to be from the Internal Revenue Services, saying they were filing a lawsuit against us. Wanted us to call a different number to "get more information about this case file". I know the IRS does not do phone calls, but other folks might not be so savvy, so I sent a notice to the Do Not Call list about them. Hopefully, something can be done.
I'd post the phone numbers, but I don't think that's allowed on cs.Last edited by XCashier; 01-05-2016, 08:14 PM.I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

And while I did have a few credit cards which had been sent to collections, I had NOT received any sort of paperwork that would indicate one of those companies was filing a suit against me.

Quoth KellyHabersham View PostBack when I still lived in my apartment, I got one of those phone calls once, only it wasn't from the "IRS" - the guy left a voicemail, didn't mention who he was calling on behalf of, just that he was reviewing my case, and mentioned a file number. (which to me, sounded like he was hinting that I was being sued for something)
The scammer says that President Obama is sitting right next to him. So the officer asks to talk to "the President". The scammer, obviously, does a poor job of impersonating the President before the officer reveals that he knows that the scammer is trying to scam him.Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.

I just got an email from an address very similar to my moms, that said "Hey! I saw this and I thought of you. I thought you would like it." and included a link that was partially titled "Sexyfuntimeinternet". Not quite a scam, but totally a virus lol

I called back the "IRS" Told them I got a call from the International Ravioli Society and I wanted to know the status of my ravioli order. Enjoyment ensued. The number was a VOIP in Oakland, Maryland so I kept asking how the weather was in the Land of Marys.
Never got my raviolis -le sigh- but I did get one of the guys to threaten me with jail time. \0/ They never seem to like it when you reply with a loud "YEAH!!!".Figers are vicious I tell ya. They crawl up your leg and steal your belly button lint.
I'm a case study.
