IRS monitor: $1 million phone scam 'largest ever' | |
| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 51311176  United States03/21/2014 08:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i tell them i'm interested and to hold for a sec... put the phone down (Still connected) and go back to what i am doing..... or better, get a beer.... Quoting: Citizenperth ok this 5  Brief try this next timePeople that walk into my office ask if I'm a coach because I have a bandman's whistle hanging just above my two phones. I tell them no, that's for telemarketers. Low tones are filtered out by the phone companies, so yelling at them does no good, but the pitch of a bandman's whistle is not filtered because it's in the same frequency range as a fax machine, so all the power goes right into their ears...and it can literally make their ears bleed.  |

| Dirtyboy User ID: 55910491 United States03/21/2014 08:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had a friend that was good at fake crying. When called by a telemarketer he would start crying and say "Thank god you called, I am so lonely" and start with a bizarre story until they hung up. After a while no one called his number any more. Dirtyboy Think beyond impossible. |

| BRIEF User ID: 381742 United States03/21/2014 09:11 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sometimes I confirm their order for three cases of extra large vibrating dildos and ask them if they also need batteries, I then proceed to cut them a deal for 100 D cells to power their new dildos...they usually hang up at this point I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked.  |

| eatinmraw User ID: 13951732 United States03/21/2014 10:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If the phone rings and the caller says he represents the IRS, be suspicious. Quoting: Goofy for God That's the warning from federal authorities, who on Thursday said a nationwide phone scam has stolen $1 million from thousands of unsuspecting people. The impostor claims to be an Internal Revenue Service representative and tells "intended victims they owe taxes and must pay using a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer," an IRS inspector general office said. [link to money.cnn.com] i'm done feelin sorry for suckers. if someone falls for it....GOOD. I hope they lose everything for bein so fuckin stupid. besides...it's more than likely not the only stupid decision they've made over the years. i also don't care if they're a hundred years old either as most geezers are glued to the news channels and have heard the warnings hundreds of times. they're the best suckers for these types of scams...because most of their kids don't call em anymore and they're desperate to have someone to talk to.  |
| de38always User ID: 51008669 United States03/21/2014 10:46 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I get at least 20 telemarketers a day, from credit card processors that want to program my machine so they can process my cc transactions to loan scams trying to give me a line of credit for "working capital" I tell them all to go to hell, because that's where they are going anyway. What You Should Know About the National Do Not Call Registry [link to www.donotcall.gov (secure)]  I've registered several times, it does very little...most of the numbers on the caller ID say "not in use" because they plug in a bogus number. I am with you Brief. I have registered several times. Does not work. |
