So of all people to get a scam phone call from the IRS...ME! I just got a call from someone claiming to be the IRS. Im told that the IRS has a criminal case going against me, and that I will be arrested and it will be an unbailalbe (is there such a word?) offense, and that because it is unbailable I will have to sit in jail for 72 hours. So I play along saying stuff like oh my god, Im so nervous, what can I do?, all in a panicky voice. I beg the guy for a way out of this, by now he thinks hes got a real sucker on the line. Thankfully, I can avoid jail by paying $2,458. This must be my lucky day. So Im transferred to accounts, and the second gentleman tells me that I cant resolve it with a payment and that the sheriff is coming to arrest me in 45 minutes and now Im told I will be put in jail for 90 days without bail. So stay tuned for what happens next.
