Better send them their Visa cash cards or they'll have you arrested!

Yeh, I know that. Notice the "scam" in the subject.

I asked one guy how the weather was in Puerto Rico where the caller ID showed, and he told me the same thing, then hung up

Ignore. Block the number. Don't answer. Ask for a call back name and number.

I do ignore. If I block the number, they can still leave voicemail. They leave a 45 second voicemail every time. It has a call back number. I called it once from a different phone (work land line). The guy is some foreigner and he just starts cursing after about 2 sentences.

Probably not a good idea to call from your cel or a trackable number but if you have a means to block your number and feel like frickin' with him, the number is 816-518-0333.

I love those. I always give them ridiculous fake names or pretend I don't understand their questions until they get frustrated and hang up.

I just sent them the $2,000 all in iTunes gift cards like they asked and I haven't heard from them again. I guess they rescinded the arrest warrant?

When you realize that the IRS does not call people out of the blue, you will rest easier. The only way you get a call from the IRS is that you have a big audit coming up and the examiner is looking for directions to your place. Most of their shite is done to you via the mail
