Anyone else being hit with recorded calls about your SSN and a Federal investigation?

I assume this is legit and my freedom is almost over.

You have.

It is a new scam call reported by the IRS the other day.

Mel Gibson fought for that freedom against the red coats - it shall not be taken away!

I got one a while back from “The Department of Social Security Department”. I suppose I’m officially on the lam.

My favorite part of it is when they reference "the cops" (actual words) will come to arrest me. Yeh, a representative from a real federal agency is going to use that term. I'd like to get them to clarify who they are talking about. I mean the official term should be "po po", right?

4-5 calls per day:

SSN call
Car warranty
Back Pain
Voting
"customer service"

My go to response is "Do you put saffron in curry?".

i took one of these calls a few months ago and had some fun with them. They were calling me by my middle name that was there first mistake. I asked the person for their IRS employee number(the IRS gives this to you before every conversation ) she puts me on hold and a guy comes on a reads me a 10digit number 5 digits to many. I then ask him to confirm my social and he says that is against procdure. I then tell him that calling someone by there middle name normally means your full of shite and he hung up. they haven't called back.

I'm afraid the "legal proceedings" have already been started. Nothing that a grand or two might stop, though. In prepaid debit cards.

I don’t answer numbers I don’t know, but I know several people who have gotten them recently, under threat of arrest and such.
