Choooo Chooooooo! Can I train your account?
(no offense to the OP. I know their english is much better than my Tagalog)
And all those exclamation marks, you notice? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head.
I got a call from the I.R.S. ... Apparently pending legal actions were filed against me, and according to the thickly accented, broken English speaking caller, I must allow him to fully read the notice without interrupting:
"Sir, you mean you did not recieve the notice of pending procedure?"
- No
"Sir, may I read you procedure?"
-Sure, go ahead
"Sir, I read of procedure, it require that you not interrupt while I read procedure."
-Yeah, okay, get on with it...
"Sir, I now read you procedure: you have notice that pending legal action is against you for falsifying tax records and for criminal deception..."
I let the guy go on and on, all the while knowing it was a scam. It's quite a popular scam running right now, where you are called by someone posing as an I.R.S. agent, they claim you have a legal issue, and then ask that you call a detective on a separate number. Now why would I need to call a separate number? Why wouldn't said detective be calling me himself? Anyway, you call the separate number and they again ask if you had recieved the legal notice. Funny thing: It's the same voice as the person who you just spoke with! At the end of their script, they say you can avoid legal action if you purchase a Green-Dot pre-paid Visa or Mastercard and call them with the account number. Surprisingly, fools still fall for this scam! (Remember that rich prince from Nigeria who, in exchange for helping him transfer his money to the U.S., will pay you 10% if you provide him your banking information? People still fall for it).
Well, anyway, I knew of the scam, and within 20 seconds of answering the phone, knew it was all crap... but unlike others, who are advised to just hang up, I was happy to listen to the script. I wanted to waste the guy's time. I let him run through his scripted performance, burn up his time and effort, and then at the end I said "Hey, mister, do you think I was born yesterday? I know this is a scam, and I just burnt up 20 minutes of your time! Do not call this number again! *CLICK!*" - Within seconds he called back, and I interrupted him as he said "Sir, you must listen to legal actio..." I told him "Listen [explitive], do not [explitive] call here again you [explitive]. I am not [explitive] stupid!" ... He stopped calling.
-My amusing scam story... Lesson: Waste their time! 
scams are like lies.exept you lose something.like for example,u lose ur account,so if someone offers to train ur account,dont fall for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
