re: IRS Scam Leads to Racial Slurs and Derogatory Exchanges

One of these cats was calling my daughter's number, repeatedly - she stopped answering but an "Agent Johnson" (with a female first name) was leaving a message for me to call.

So, I do. And I ask for Agent *Something* Johnson. A male answers, giving a different first name, but a surname of Johnson. He has a subcontinent accent, but is reasonably understandable. I ask again for the other (female) agent Johnson, the one that has been leaving the messages, but he says, "She is not available, but I can assist you." So, I ask, "Where are you calling from, please?" He says, "With Internal Revenue Service in Los Angeles, California." I ask, "The United States Internal Revenue Service?" He says, "Yes."

So, I get to the point. "So you're agent Johnson and you're filling in for the other agent Johnson, and you have a subcontinent accent. Why don't I believe you?" *CLICK*

Sometimes reading the whole damn thing is worth it

Four downvotes means one of two things: either the OT has four IRS agents, or four people who have been doing your aunt and now fear being ratted out.

Seriously, though, I signed up for nomorobo.com. I haven't had any robo-calls since.
