Recently my go to trick is to hold the phone up to my son who's non-verbal...he loves to hear people talk on the phone, guffaws, and the telemarketer doesn't know what to make of it and eventually hangs up...wastes their time and gives my son some laughs...win-win.

I played along for a second, but I didn't get to the card. When they told me that I would have a court appearance, I laughed.

I told them they better find someone who speaks English a hell of a lot better if they want me to believe that they're from the IRS.

"Excuse me?" in a heavy Indian accent.

I scream "ENGLISH, MOTHER****ER!! DO YOU SPEAK IT?? Get me someone who speaks English. If you're from the IRS, get me a ****ing American. You ****ing DOLT."

He hung up.

**** them assholes.

**** no we should not extradite. Indian prison sounds like a worse deal let alone normal India.

I do think people should pose as lawyers and **** them over.

Yes, bring them to the US jail system and appoint someone to call them everyday and offer them a get out of jail free card if they will provide their CC info.

Bring them here, they will do some time and get released, stay illegally and start claiming welfare checks.

I've taken so many police calls involving these scammers, always from the elderly. Glad to see they were caught.

Skip to 1:25:30, one of these scammers calls a twitch streamer. After a few minutes the tables are turned; phone sex occurs.

Always ask if the call center rep grew up with Freida Pinto. Just saying, there's a chance.

The main reason this scam is so effective is that a lot of folks are scared to death of the IRS in the first place. They never stop and think of what is really going on.

there needs to be psa's like the mesothelioma commercials, for known scams, on tv.
