    Talked to Officer Nikk King at the IRS. Very nice gentleman, said he wouldn't arrest me if I paid them today.

    You know what--I would settle the issue with them on your behalf for the low, low sum of just $5,000 in green dot cards.

    It's similar to a prepaid Visa card. It's a phone scam.

    I did have a very nice conversation with the kid after I explained to him that having 3 Ks in his name means he's a racist and the IRS would never hire him. He was confused by this but then had a good laugh. He begged me to stay on the phone because he was bored. Says he's 18yrs old and lives in Korea.

    Well I have 24 hours to turn myself in or the police department will be showing up at my door. So far they have given me this warning 4 times and the last one about a month ago and yet no police have shown up at my door. Should I turn myself in?

    They're coming for you. Don't be fooled. They got those badges at the dollar store.

    Low life scammers gettin' their kicks threatening people.

    This particular incident happened about 7 years ago.

    One scammer persistently called my phone with a similar scam. One day I picked up the phone and talked with them for an extensive period of time. After several minutes I told them that the FBI has their phone number and tracked them during the conversation.

    Then I told them, "Have a nice day!"

    They didn't try that bullshit we me again.

    Well. I have a bunch of extra cards here. Paypal me 5000 and I'll let you make payments on the rest.

    You're going old school. I understand it's Starbucks coffee and a slice of pumpkin spice bread now days.

    damnit, I knew it. The good news is that they only have 4 penalties they are assessing me so that means I got away with about 25 others. :cheers:

    I thought of this classic scene from Invasion of the Body Snatchers after reading your post.
